Lyrics: Leah Goldberg 

Music: Nini / Dor 


Transliteration:


Et kol hakochavim taman,

Et hasahar ataf bishchor,

Mitsafon ve'ad teyman,

Ein keren or.


Veha boker alman neeman,

Sak afor al motnav yachgor,

Mitsafon ve'ad teyman,

Ein keren or.


Hadlikah-na ner lavan,

Be'ohel-libi hashachor,

Mitsafon ve'ad teyman,

Izrach ha'or.


Translation:


All the stars hidden away 

And the moon in a pitch black night 

From the north 

And south to Yemen 

Not a ray of light 


Morning, loyal widower 

Clutch your grey sack tight 

From the north 

and south to Yemen 

Not a ray of light 



No light, not a ray of light 


Light a small white candle 

In this darkened tent, 

This heart of mine 

From the north 

And south to Yemen 

Then a brilliant light will shine! 


The light, the light will shine
