And the River Sang
Lyrics: Leah Goldberg
Music: Achinoam Nini
Transliteration:
Et ha'even nashakti betsinat chalomah,
Ki ani hamizmor vehi hadmamah,
Ki hi hachidah va'ani hechad,
Ki shneinu koratsnu minetsach echad.
Et ha'even nashakti, et oshrah haboded.
Hi shvuat emunim veani haboged,
Ani hacholef vehi hakayam,
Hi sodot habriah, veani - giluyam,
Vaeda ki nagati belev ne'elam:
Ani hamshorer vehi - ha'olam
Translation by Noa:
I kissed the rock in her chilly dream
For she is the silence and I am the scream
She is the riddle and I want to know
Both of us sprung from eternity's bow
I kissed the rock, her lonely crater
She has sworn loyalty, I am the traitor
She is forever, I am just passing through
She's the old secret, I am the new
Her silent heart touched, she helped me to know it:
She is the universe I am the poet
