Noa - Pines - Текст песни

Lyrics: Leah Goldberg 

Music: Achinoam Nini (Noa) 


Transliteration;

Kan lo eshma et kol hakukiyah.

Kan lo yachbosh haets mitsnefet sheleg,

Aval betsel ha'oranim ha'eleh

Kol yalduti shekamah litchiyah.


Tsiltsul hamechatim: hayoh hayah ---,

Ekra moledet lemerchav-hasheleg,

Lekerach yerakrak kovel hapeleg,

Lilshon hashir be'erets nochriyah.



Ulai rak tsiporei-masa yod'ot -

Kshehen tluyot bein erets veshamaim -

Et zeh hake'ev shel shtei hamoladot.


Itchem ani nishtalti paamaim,

Itchem ani tsamachti, oranim,

Veshorashai bishnei nofim shonim


Translation:

Here I will never hear the blue-jay's song elated 

Here a tree with wig of snow I will not find 

But in the shade of all these solitary pines 

All my childhood, reincarnated 


The tingling of the needles is gone 

Homeland I will call, a snowy distant dream 

Greenish frost and ice enclose a mountain stream 

A stranger's land, a foreign tongue in song 


I remember those snow-capped mountains 

And a song on F.M.93 

Oh my darling, I have grown with you 

But my roots on both sides of the sea 


Perhaps only the migrating birds can ever know 

As they're suspended beween the heavens and 

The earth below 

The pain I feel as I am torn 


I have been planted and replanted with the pines, 

And it is with them I have grown 

But still my roots spread over-seas 

In a dichotomy of home
