Ein Gedi by Yeudith Ravitz

EIN GEDI

Yam hamavet hakachol balat yanu'a

umime'al ananah k'tanah tashut.

Etz ha'eshel bid'mamah yazu'a

vekol kav bachol yafeh charut.

Ha'adamah tatz'hiv

belahat shemesh

ve'avak mach'nik ya'uf barom

ach Ein Gedi lo tibol bekemesh,

bah yish'lot gaven yarok vechom.

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

mah hayah ki tzamacht bechamah

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

eich p'lagim bach chot'rim bash'mamah

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

bach hayofi yofa bechol hod

vehalev yeharher veyach'mod,

vehalev yeharher veyach'mod.

Yam hamavet hakachol bile'at yanu'a

vekol har bo yitnase ge'eh veram.

Nachal Arugot, zeh hayadu'a

mehalcho yashir el toch hayam.

Ha'adamah tatz'hiv belahat shemesh,

ach Ein Gedi hi naveh midbar

yom chadash eino domeh la'emesh

va'atid maz'hir tzofan lah hamachar.

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi...

EIN GEDI

The blue sea of death will move softly

and above a small cloud will roam.

The tamarisk tree will budge in silence

and each line in sand will be engraved pretty.

The ground will turn yellow

from the scorching of the sun

and choking dusk will fly high

but Ein Gedi won't wither with wrinkles

in it, a green colour and warmth will rule.

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

what was as you grew in the sun

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

as your brooks sabotage the boredom

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi

the beauty appears in all glory in you

and the heart will think and covet,

and the heart will think and covet.

The blue sea of death will move softly

each hill in it will arise proud and high.

Flowerbed river, is known

for its walk will sing into the sea.

The ground will go yellow in the sun's burn

but Ein Gedi is desert dwelling

a new day doesn't resemble last night

and the future warns its viewers of tomorrow.

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi...
