Ani omedet belev hamidbar,

Vehachol lo yishmor et ikvot tse-adai.

Lo anani.

Lo patach.
Bachuts haya erev lohet vechiver.
Halachti lidpok al sha'ar acher.

Bachuts haya laylah chonek vechiver
Halachti lidpok al sha'ar acher
Lachashti : "aneni !"
Lo anani.

Lo patach.
Bevoker ein-tal altah hachamah.
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.
