LAILA BICHNA'AN
Halailah hilit be'aderet
al pnei sadot umerchav
verikmat dumiyah mishtazeret
machsifah beribo kochavav.
Yare'ach shat bat'chelet
einav elecha yisa
habet na, habet bacheled
hoy batif'eret zo hak'musah,
Hoi lailah leili,
leil nugeh pele
hoi lailah, leili,
mileilot ha'elef.
Lochesh menachesh zeh haleil
uveletef chen, chen milevav
ki be'elef ribo einaim
chalom sodotav melavlev.
Halailah hilit be'aderet
veshir gamelet chalil
ali na, ani haderech,
ki na'apilah adi hagalil.
LAILA BICHNA'AN
The night started in splendor
On the face of fields and expanses
And the cloak of silence is wrapped
Revealing in its midst its stars.
The moon, a shard of glass
His eyes will lift to you
Look now, look at the moon
Hey, the adorned girl, this is the constellation.
Hey night, my night,
A night of wondrous wonders
Hey night, my night,
The thousands of words.
He is weaving, weaving this night
And with a gentle touch, touch of the heart
For in a thousand myriad eyes
The secrets of his fields are revealed.
The night started in splendor
And the song is complete on the flute
Please, I am the way,
For I will fall until the Galilee.
