Music: Achinoam Nini (Noa) 



Transliteration:


Ben lu hayah li

Yeled katan

Shchor taltalim venavon

Le'echoz beyado velifsoa le-at

Bishvilei hagan

Yeled katan

Uri ekra lo

Uri sheli

Rach vetsalul ha shem hakatsar

Resis neharah

Leyaldi hashcharchar

Uri ekra lo

Uri ekra

Od etmarmer kerachel

Od etpalel kechanah beShiloh

(Od) Achake

Lo


Translation:



I wish I had a son 

A little boy 

Bright, with black curly hair. 

I would take his hand in mine 

And stroll slowly, slowly 

Through the garden... 

Little boy. 


Uri, I'd call him 

My Uri! 

How gentle and clear this tiny name 

A glimmer of joy 

For my little boy, 

Uri, I'd call him 

Uri, I'd call. 


But I am still bitter as Rachel 

I am still praying as Hannah in Shiloh, 

I am still waiting for him. 

I will 

Wait.
