ELIPELET

Nezamer na et shir Elipelet
venagidah kulanu bekol:
Ka'asher od hayah hu rak yeled,
kvar hayah hu beyesh geda gadol.
Bo sh'chenim ush'chenot dibru dofi
ve'amru shum davar lo yo'il -
Elipelet hu yeled bli ofi,
ein lo ofi afilu bamil

Im gozalim meyadav tza'atzu'a,
hu nish'ar mevulbal umechayech,
mechayech mibli da'at madu'a,
vecheitzad uveshel mah zeh ve'eich.

Venidmeh ki s'vivo, zeh muzar,
az davar mah hitronen ko veshar.
Bli madu'a uvli keitzad,
bli heichan uvli eich velamah,
bli le'an ume'eizeh tzad,
bli matai uvli an vechamah.
Ki saviv kechinor vechalil
manginah me'irah, metzaltzelet.
Im nas'bir lecha mah zeh yo'il,
eizeh yeled atah Elipelet.

Beleil k'rav bir'om esh mezaneket,
bein anshei hap'lugah kol avar:
ha'amdah hakidmit menuteket,
mele'i tach'moshet azal bah mikvar.
Az hirgish Elipelet ke'ilu
hu much'rach et hamele'i lechadash,
vechivun she'ein ofi bemeil lo,
hu zachal kach yashar mul ha'esh.

Uveshuvo mehumam ufatzu'a,
hitmotet hu, kar'a vechiyech.
Hu chiyech mibli da'at madu'a
vecheitzad uveshel mah zeh ve'eich.

Uvaleivot chevrav, zeh muzar,
az davar mah hitronen ko veshar....

Uvelailah chavush kasdat peled,
az yered hamal'ach Gabriel,
venigash lemeroshot Elipelet,
sheshachav bamishlat al hatel.
Hu amar: Elipelet el pachad,
Elipelet, el pachad vechayil
bamarom lanu yesh mimchan nachat,
af she'ein lecha ofi bamil.

Zehu zemer pashut gam tamu'ah,
ein roshit lo vesof vehemshech,
zimarnuhu bli da'at madu'a
vecheitzad uveshel mah zeh ve'eich.

Zimarnuhu kach stam zeh muzar,
ki davar mah hitronen bo veshar...
