Hello , or better yet, Shalom there!

I'm so happy i came cross this forum trying to find translations to some of my favorite Hebrew songs

Ok, to the gist of it.

Here is the link to the mp3 of Maya Avraham's Llama :

http://www.insightonthenews.net/medi...aham%20Why.mp3

Can anyone kindly translate this song into English for me?

If someone does take up the task, can you put the Hebrew transliteration (i hope i got the right word for it!) and the English translation side by side? For example:

Shir lama`alot. -- A Song of Ascents.
Asse einaim el heharim: -- I turn my eyes to the mountains;
me'ain yavo ezri? -- from where will my help come?

Ezri me'im HaShem, -- My help comes from the Lord,
ose shamaim ve'aretz. -- Maker of heaven and earth

-------------

Thank you so very much in advance who ever helps in this!!!! If i had money, i would pay you all back - but since I am poor, i really cant

My goal here is to try to make a music and or picture video with the English translation of the song to post up on youtube. I already have a few English to Hebrew songs on my youtube channel that i have manage to put together....

Toda Raba and shalom XD

לילה עלי מאיר,
ובחוצות העיר
בין רחובות דוממים, עומדת
שוב לא נותן סיבה, להישאר איתך
גלה מה אתה עוד מסתיר, ספר לי...

The night illuminates above me and all over the city
Among the silent streets, I stand
Again, you don't give any reason, to stay with you
Tell me is there something more that you are hiding [from me], tell me..

Layla ma'air ali
Ubachuztot ha'air
Bain rachovot domamim, omadat
Shuve lo noten siba, la'hisha'air itach
Gala'ah ma'ah ata od mastir, saper li..

למה אין אף אחד,
לילות ארוכים בינינו
ולמה הכאב מסרב,
לא עוזב את שנינו
למה אין אף אחד
לילות שטפו אותנו
ולמה הכאב, מסרב לעבור...

Why is there anybody,
Long nights between us
And why the pain refuses [to let go of us] and doesn't leave us alone
Why is there anybody,
nights washed them [a way] The
And why the pain refuses to go away

Lama ain af ached
Laylot arukim baynaynu
Valama haka'ave masarave
Lo osev at sh'nay'nu
Lama ain af acha'd
Laylot shatfu otam
Valama ha'ka'ave, masarave la'avor

קשה לי לראות עכשיו
אם זה אולי לשווא
יש בי עוד קצת אמונה בשנינו
בלי המרחק הזה, ואם רק ננסה
למה מה אתה שוב מסתיר, ספר לי...

It is hard for me to see now
Maybe it is for vain
I still have a little faith in us
Without this distance, if only we can try
Why, what do you think you are hiding again, tell me…

Ka'sha'h li lirot achsahv
Im za'h ulai lashave
Yesh bi amuna'h bishnaynu
Bli hamarchak haza'h, va'im rak na'na'sa'h
Lama ma'h ata shuve mastir, saper li..

I love her voice and song this song...

Wow, how wonderful!!!

Thank you so much for your translations to the songs i submitted!!!

I am so very grateful to you Rose for taking your time to do the work on this...

If i had a lot of money, I would send you a couple of bucks thru paypal...
Actually: Send me a quick email at eddikewl@gmail.com or a private message and I will send you a small amount thru pay pal - I'm that grateful!

I love Israel and Hebrew is just fascinating to me - G-d knows if I will ever end up learning it - I would have loved to learn the language and maybe have gone to Israel to live there.

Once again, Thank you very much !

Here, take a look at a video of Ofra i subtitled the English translation to:



Hope it is good work : )

Have a wonderful day!

G-d bless,

Edward
