דרך ארוכה [Derech Aruka] [English translation]

A long road

and I'm like a wandering bird

I am like a soft wind

passing the days

singing from one autumn to another.

A far road

and I'm a bird on a rainy night

a homeless bird,

what is it

compared to the sky

when the end of the song is lost to it.

The wind's song about the water

and it has many shades of colour

who am I today and what am I

in the sounds that change in the song?

When the light is on the water's surface

there's a rainbow of colour shades

who am I today

what (is) today

who am I in the song.

A far road

and at its end you are stuck

I'll come to you softly

like evening wind

we'll walk with it together until we reach purity

A long road

and I'm a bird hanging on nest of linen

extend your hand to me,

call to me,

because in heaven

all of my song is lost.

The wind's song...
