האר את עיניו [Haer et eynav] [English translation]

Illuminate1his eyes

when the night falls on his face

if he will remain alone on the path when his legs fail

from a tremor that passes this moment through his two hands

Illuminate his eyes

protect him from all injury wind2of battle

from the sun that burns with heavy heat during a day of heat wave3

from every obstacle that stands in his oncoming path

I would wrap him in my two arms and wait

for him to fall asleep, slumber, rest and relax

i would wait

I would wrap him in my two arms and wait

for him to fall asleep, slumber, rest and relax

i would wait

Illuminate his eyes

until he returns to the secure beach between its waves

another stormy sea erupts and asks for his life

surely protect him, illuminate now his two eyes

I would wrap him in my two arms and wait

for him to fall asleep, slumber, rest and relax

i would wait

I would wrap him in my two arms and wait

for him to fall asleep, slumber, rest and relax

i would wait

for him to fall asleep, slumber, rest and relax

i would wait

i am still waiting...
