Alive
Listen, my brother, I am still alive
And my two eyes are still carried to the light
My joys are many, but so are my flowers
And many, many years ago
I ask and pray
It is good that hope was not lost yet
A hymn is passed down from generation to generation
As a kind of goat forever
I ask and pray
It is good that hope was not lost yet
Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
I'm still alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, the people of Israel are alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
Homim Yami (Alive, Alive)
and my nights (alive, alive)
And in my name the pillar of fire rose again
I sing without dying (Alive, Alive)
I will spread my hands (live, live)
To my friend who is across the sea
I ask and pray
It is good that hope was not lost yet
Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
I'm still alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, the people of Israel are alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
Listen, my brother, I am still alive
And my two eyes are still carried to the light
And this is how I live for all my guests
And my sons who ask to return
Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
I'm still alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, the people of Israel are alive
This is the song that my grandfather sang yesterday to my father and today I
Live, live, live
Yes, I'm still alive, alive, alive
