Carnival, in the Nahal stream, carnival

Whoever does not come, what a pity
mi shelo yavo chaval
Whoever does not come, what a pity
hamaflim hamaktzifim
The cascading waterfalls
haanafim hanishtafim
The branches being rinsed
vechal hamayim hashotzfim
And all the frothing waters
hem sochafim hem sochafim
They carry, they carry
zorem hashetef haeytan
The mighty current flows
minachal senir umigolan
From the Snir River and from the Golan

And also emerges at Mahola

In one great celebration

Carnival, in the Nahal stream, carnival...

The stream swells and sweeps
vegam otanu hu sochef
And us it carries too

To revive in the storm
et yam hamavet hanora
The awesome Dead Sea
baarava teruat tzofar
In the Arava a horn call sounds
vahola, hola lamidbar
And onward, onward to the desert

There its good current will lead
ladug dagim biberadu'yil
To fish in the marshes
karnaval, banacha"l karnaval...
Carnival, in the Nahal stream, carnival...

The stream overflows its banks

Its current strong, its waters fine

Its tributaries mighty, its streams flowing
et kol haaretz metzifim
Flooding the whole land

Its ways many and not easy,
hu mesamen et hagevulot,
It marks out the borders,

Watering fields and plains
veshar mitachat lagesharim.
And singing beneath the bridges.

Both the valley and the mountain

The Arava and the desert

All are washed, all are beautiful
kulam itanu mishtazefim
All are bronzing with us
az bou gam atem kulechem,
So come also all of you,
lishtof meat et nishmatchem,
To wash your souls a little,
liglosh beoz min heharim,
To slide with strength from the mountains,
lihyot kamonu shikorim.
To be like us, intoxicated.
