7. ISRAEL MEDLEY
Une compilation de 4 mélodies israéliennes :
1. Eli Eli
2. Chofim
3. Erev shel shoshanim
4. Hafinjan

Ces mélodies sont dédicacées à nos amis juifs et arabes en Terre Sainte. Vivre pendant plus de trois ans à Jérusalem a été une expérience inoubliable.

EREV SHEL SHOSHANIM

Erev shel shoshanim
Nitzeh na el habustan
Mor besamim ulevona
Leraglech miftan.

Layla yored le'at
Veru'ach shoshan noshvah
Havah elchash lach shir balat
Zemer shel ahava

Shachar homa yonah
Roshech maleh t'lalim
Pich el haboker shoshana
Ektefenu li.


EVENING OF ROSES

Evening of roses
Let's go out to the grove
Myrrh, perfumes, and incense
Are a threshold at your feet.

The night falls slowly
A breeze of roses blows
Let me whisper a song to you quietly
A song of love.

At dawn, a dove is cooing
Your hair is filled with dew
Your lips to the morning are like a rose
I'll pick it for myself.

HA-FINJAN

Haru'akh noshevet krira,
nosifa keysam lam'doura.
Vekhakh bizro'ot argaman
ba'esh ya'ale kekorban.
Ha'esh mehav'hevet
shira melavlevet
sovev lo, sovev hafinjan.
La, la, la,...

Ha'esh lakeysam telakhesh,
admu ko paneynou ba'esh.
Im lanu tigboret tutan
mikol bdal anaf shebagan.
Kol etz vekhol keresh
yashir azay kheresh
sovev lo, sovev hafinjan.
La, la, la,...

THE COFFEE POT

The cool wind blows,
we'll add a chip to the campfire,
and thus in scarlet
it will rise in the flames like a sacrifice.
the fire flickers,
its song rises up
the coffee pot spins, spins around.

The fire will whisper to the chip,
our faces grow so red by the fire
if more fuel is prepared for us
from every broken branch stub in the garden,
every tree and log
will sing so softly
the coffee pot spins, spins around.
