ma hatachlit shel ze hakeev
What is the purpose of this pain
im lo lenanea li et halev
If not to shake my heart
sheshaka betardema
That sank into a slumber
veze zeman rav shelo hechesir peima
And for a long time hasn't skipped a beat
lama beetni ze hakalon
Why did this disgrace come upon me
rak lenapetz bi et hadimyon
Only to shatter the illusion in me
sheani min kol yachol
That I'm some kind of almighty
nocha lislocha nocha lemachol
Easy to forgive easy to pardon
ma rotzta zot hanefila
What did this fall want
rak leorer oti shuv latefila
Only to awaken me again to prayer
el hashamayim haadumim
To the red skies
sheyithapechu alay lerachamim
That they may turn to mercy upon me
rachamim
Mercy
rachamim
Mercy
lev haolam ata shomea
Heart of the world can you hear
ma ze lefeta mefached ani
What is this suddenly I'm afraid
beemuna ani yodea, yodea
In faith I know, I know
shelo tivze tefilat ani
That you won't despise the prayer of the poor
shelo tivze tefilat ani
That you won't despise the prayer of the poor
kama chaviv ze hakeev
How precious is this pain
et hu mazkir li mi hamesabev
When it reminds me who is the cause
mi motzi molich umevi
Who brings forth leads and returns
mi et kol zot aley beahava hevi
Who brought all of this upon me with love
tov veyafe ze hakipuf
Good and beautiful is this bending
shemashber li od ketzat et haguf
That breaks my body a little more
haguf sheaf paam lo mitratze
The body that never yields
hen kevar zachalti lichvodo ad hakatze
I've already crawled for its sake to the edge
ma rotzta zot hamaka
What did this blow want
rak leholid mitochi tzeaka
Only to birth from within me a cry
el hashamayim haadumim
To the red skies
sheyithapechu alay lerachamim
That they may turn to mercy upon me
rachamim
Mercy
rachamim
Mercy
et eynay atzamti sagarti et hasefer
I closed my eyes I shut the book
shaa shahiti leyashev et dati
For an hour I sat to settle my mind
et gaavati hishlachti befinat hacheder
My pride I cast in the corner of the room
vechach amadti lefaresh et sichati
And so I stood to pour out my prayer
lev haolam ata shomea
Heart of the world can you hear
ma ze lefeta mefached ani
What is this suddenly I'm afraid
beemuna ani yodea, yodea
In faith I know, I know
shelo tivze tefilat ani
That you won't despise the prayer of the poor
shelo tivze tefilat ani
That you won't despise the prayer of the poor
