ימים לבנים [Yamim Levanim] [English translation]

White days, long, like the rays of the summer sun.

Serene loneliness is great on the river.

Windows wide open to the silent blue.

The bridges are straight and tall between yesterday and tomorrow.

It’s so easy to carry on with your silence, white and empty days

For my eyes have learned to smile and have ceased...

...to hasten the race of the hands on the clock.

The bridges are straight and tall between yesterday and tomorrow.

My heart has become accustomed to itself, and patiently counts its beats.

And to the sweet rhythm it molds, yields and calms down.

Like a baby singing his lullaby when he closes his eyes,

As the tired mother ceases from her singing and begins her sleep.
