הדרך לאי שם [haDerekh le Ei Sham] [English translation]

My love started waking a way leading to the sea,

My love started waking a way, the way to God knows where.

Will my heart come back, will he come back to me

And if my hearts comes back, and if he comes back – when.

My love is on the way leading to the sea,

And tough, tough the way, the way to God knows where.

Will my heart come back, will he come back to me

And if my hearts comes back, and if he comes back – when.

His letters signed in blood, soaked with tears,

And my heart is worried for him, perhaps he won’t come back from there.

Will my heart come back, will he come back to me

And if my hearts comes back, and if he comes back – when.

My love returned down the way leading to the sea

My love returned down the way, the way from God knows where.

He didn’t smile and silently dried off my tears

And only told me in a whisper, well, I have returned alive.
