lyrics

English Translation Below


הבל פיך


הכוכבים יודעים לספר כּבודֶךָ
הוד שִׁמךָ
וכל סיפור חיי הוא לא יותר
מזה השיר –

הבל פּיךָ

דור הולך דור בא
והארץ לעולם עומדת
מה יתרון לו לאדם בכל עמלו
שיעמול

אם אתה הולך ממני – אז אני אינני כלום
כשאתה הולך ממני – לא נותר בי עוד מאום
אם אתה הולך ממני – העולם קמל, נובל
כשאתה הולך ממני – אין למי להתפלל

הכוכבים יודעים לספר כּבודֶךָ
הוד שִׁמךָ
וכל סיפור חיי הוא לא יותר
מזה השיר –

הבל פּיךָ

כל הנחלים הולכים אל הים והים אינו מלא
עת לכל וזמן
לכל טיפת אור

אם אתה הולך ממני – אז אני אינני כלום
כשאתה הולך ממני – לא נותר בי עוד מאום
אם אתה הולך ממני – העולם קמל, נובל
כשאתה הולך ממני – אין למי להתפלל

הכוכבים יודעים לספר כּבודֶךָ
הוד שִׁמךָ
וכל סיפור חיי הוא לא יותר
מזה השיר –

הבל פּיךָ

Your Mere Utterance

The stars know to tell of your Honour
The splendour of your name
And my entire life story is no more
Than this song –
Your mere utterance

Generation comes, generation goes
And the earth forever stays
What advantage does a person gets from all their work?

If you walk away from me - then I am nothing at all
You walk away from me and nothing stays within me at all
If you walk away from me - the world withers & dies
When You walk walk away from me - there is no one to pray to

The stars know to tell of your Honour
The splendour of your name
And my entire life story is no more
Than this song –
The vapour of Your mouth

All the rivers lead to the sea yet never full is the sea
A time and a place for everything, for every drop of light to be

If you walk away from me - then I am nothing at all
You walk away from me and nothing stays within me at all
If you walk away from me - the world withers & dies
When You walk walk away from me - there is no one to pray to

The stars know to tell of your Honour
The splendour of your name
And my entire life story is no more
Than this song –
Your mere utterance
