Idan Rachiel

If someone can please translate one of the most moving and saddest songs I have ever heard?



I would like to subtitle a video i have based on this song.

If you could kindly provide the translation the following format, i would be immensely grateful! :

מנסה בדרך אחרת
Menasa bederech acheret
Trying in a different way
לקבל את מה שאתה
Lekabel et ma she'ata
To accept what you are
ומה שהפכנו להיות
Vema shehafachnu lihyot
And what we've come to be

Have a beautiful and kind night and thanks immensily in advance...

- Yodelinged


P.S. I will repost the final subtitled video on this thread

I'm sorry but this was a bit too hard for me...I don't think you should use my translation because there are a lot of mistakes...this is just to give you an idea of what the song is about
Hopefully Rose or one of the other experts can fix up my work!
Sorry once again...sometimes it's just too hard for me to translate between two languages! :-(




כי בלילות שנתך נודדת
Because at night your sleep wanders
וכל חלום הוא למורא
And every dream is for terror
תטי אז את אוזנך לשקט
Divert, then, your ear to the silence
כל חסד רחמים
All kindness and mercy
עוד יעלה, הנה הוא בא
It will still rise, here it comes

כי בשבילו נפשך נשמרת
Because for him, your spirit is guarded
הרי קרבה היא השעה
Indeed the hour is close
עד ששדוד בזרועותייך
Until robbed in your arms
ייפול בסוף הדרך
It will fall at the end of the journey
כשישובו לגבולם
When they return to their borders

רק מנעי קולך מבכי
Only preventing your voice from crying
ועינייך מדמעה
And your eyes from tears
כי השער ייפתח לו
Because the gate will open for him
ויבוא בו בסערה
And will come to him in a storm
כשישובו לגבולם
When they return to their borders

עד אל נחלי המים
Until the streams of water
דרך שארית כוחך
The remaining journey of your power
אם ישיבנו אז נשובה
If they return to us, then we'll return it? ( =s =s =s )
מנעי קולך מבכי
Preventing your voice from crying
יש תקווה לאחריתך
There's hope for your end

רק מנעי קולך...
Only preventing your voice...
