Ani omedet belev hamidbar,
Ve ein li afilu kochav echad,
Veharuach eino medaber elay,
Vehachol lo yishmor et ikvot tse-adai.

Vechach metsauni shomrei hachomah

Translation:

Standing in the heart of the desert
I have not one star
The wind is silent
The sand will not preserve my footprints

Standing in the heart of the desert
I have not even one star
And the wind is not whispering to me…

I called out: answer me!
He did not answer.
I cried out: open!
He did not.
The night was burning hot and dry
I went to a different gate to try

I called out: answer me!
He did not answer.
I cried out: open!
He did not.
The night was strangling and sedate
I went to try a different gate.

I whispered: answer me…
He did not answer.
I pleaded: open….
He did not.
That morning the sun rose, but dew wouldn't fall
Thus I was found by the guards of the wall.

3. Three days his memory haunted me.
And on the fourth I cut the bread
And on the fourth I opened the window
And on the fourth I saw the sea…

Three days his memory haunted me.
And on the fourth I knew
The sea was beautiful and blue
and in the salty breeze
The scent of waves
But not the taste of tears.
