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: 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
