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
