Noa - And The River Sang lyrics

Lyrics: Leah Goldberg

Music: Achinoam Nini

Transliteration:

Et ha'even nashakti betsinat chalomah,

Ki ani hamizmor vehi hadmamah,

Ki hi hachidah va'ani hechad,

Ki shneinu koratsnu minetsach echad.

Et ha'even nashakti, et oshrah haboded.

Hi shvuat emunim veani haboged,

Ani hacholef vehi hakayam,

Hi sodot habriah, veani - giluyam,

Vaeda ki nagati belev ne'elam:

Ani hamshorer vehi - ha'olam

Translation:

I kissed the rock in her chilly dream

For she is the silence and I am the scream

She is the riddle and I want to know

Both of us sprung from eternity's bow

I kissed the rock, her lonely crater

She has sworn loyalty, I am the traitor

She is forever, I am just passing through

She's the old secret, I am the new

Her silent heart touched, she helped me to know it:

She is the universe I am the poet
