Carrying a Prayer

by Sarit Hadad

Copied!
gam im pitom hakol yachlit sheeyn lo kocha
Even if everything suddenly decides it has no strength
ani eshaer po omedet venoset tefila
I will remain here standing and bearing a prayer
veim hatov yachlit shekevar nimas lo
and if goodness decides it has grown weary
ani eshaer po omedet mechaka lecha
I will remain here standing, waiting for you
vaanashim shemargishim levad
And people who feel alone
izvu otam mizeman
who were abandoned long ago
yatchilu lifrocha
will begin to bloom
vehaorot shebeveyti hakat
and the lights in my small home
shelo tamid dolkim
that don't always burn
yairu bechocha
will shine with force
ki et hakol ata yodea
Because everything You know
veet libi tamid shomea
and my heart You always hear
umovil oti, et darki
and You lead me, my path
et hameorot hadlakat
You kindled the luminaries
veet haneshamot barata
and created the souls
kedey shelo nafsik lehargish, chayim
so that we would never stop feeling — alive
umul choma yafe kulam lecha yagidu sodot
And before a beautiful wall everyone will tell You their secrets
uvsheket yevakeshu et ezrotcha
and quietly they will ask for Your help
uveyn tipot efshar lirot eynayim semechot
and between the drops one can see joyful eyes
ki anachnu tzaaknu tefilot
because we cried out our prayers
vaanashim shemargishim levad...
And people who feel alone...
ki et hakol ata yodea...
Because everything You know...
