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
