Still
od terem boka keriato shel hagever
Before the rooster's call had yet crowed
uvair hagedola nam kol ish et shenato
And in the great city every man still slept
ey sham babasis neor az hagever
Somewhere on a base the soldier stirred
nitzav hu eytan al mishmarto
He stood firm and steadfast at his post
mishamayim elayv lo karatz kochav
From the heavens no star winked at him
halevana el keli nechbea
The moon had hidden behind a cloud
umalach mishamayim kivetz et sefatayv
And an angel in the sky pursed his lips
umchatim bo harucha naatza
And the wind drove needles into him
chayal shel golani, amud vezachor
Soldier of Golani, stand and remember
amod uzchor
Stand and remember
ki ata ba betor
For you come in your turn
ba bator
In your turn
acharey chayalim sheeynam od
After soldiers who are no more
begolani hamshech et hador
In Golani, continue the generation
et baemek halecha bedarchey chatchatim
As he walked in the valley through thorny paths
vehachol kechivshan chum yakad el raglayv
And the sand burned like a furnace beneath his feet
et hashemesh elayv hitnakela mimeromim
As the sun conspired against him from above
veol hachagor ko hichbid al gav
And the weight of his gear pressed heavy on his back
uvleyl seara, rucha, kor uvarad
And in a night of storm, wind, cold and hail
al hagevul mul oyev hu shachav
On the border facing the enemy he lay
lo laad timashech milchama, lo laad
The war will not last forever, not forever
lo lashov maamatzeycha, chayal, lo lashov
Your efforts are not in vain, soldier, not in vain
chayal shel golani, amud vezachor
Soldier of Golani, stand and remember
amod uzchor
Stand and remember
ki ata ba betor
For you come in your turn
ba bator
In your turn
acharey chayalim sheeynam od
After soldiers who are no more
begolani hamshech et hador
In Golani, continue the generation
chayal shel golani, amud vezachor
Soldier of Golani, stand and remember
amod uzchor
Stand and remember
ki ata ba betor
For you come in your turn
ba bator
In your turn
acharey chayalim sheeynam od
After soldiers who are no more
begolani hamshech et hador
In Golani, continue the generation
