ניגון הנשמות [Nigun Haneshamot] [English translation]

If I were but a simple wooden flute

I would go out to play in the fields.

If I were but an ancient violin

I would remember some backing tunes.

I would find melodies in me,

And please people's hearts.

I would know the Melody of Souls.

If only I was clear, a hollow shofar,

Then without blocking, without thinking, without limits...

If only I was a pipe drenched in light,

I would compose the way back.

I would find melodies in me,

And please people's hearts.

I would know the Melody of Souls.

But I'm a complex pianist

Who composes his errors.

If only I could find that note in me...

Soul, tell me how,

Make me the instrument of your mission.

If only I could, hear your voice.

Then I would find melodies in me,

And please people's hearts.

I would know the Melody of Souls.

The Melody of Souls, the melody of my life.
