SHELEG AL IRI

Sheleg al iri, kol halailah nach.
El artzot hachom, ahuvi halach.

Sheleg al iri, vehalailah kar.
Me'artzot hachom, li yavi tamar.
Sheleg al iri, vehalailah kar.
Me'artzot hachom, li yavi tamar.

D'vash hate'enah, metek hecharuv.
Ve'orchat g'malim, amusei kol tuv.

Henah shuv yashuv, shemesh levavi.
Umisham tapu'ach zahav yavi.
Henah shuv yashuv, shemesh levavi.
Umisham tapu'ach zahav yavi.

Sheleg al iri, nach k'mo talit.
Me'artzot hachom, ma heveta li?

Sheleg al iri, sheleg al panai.
Uvetoch hapri, kol ga'agu'ai.
Sheleg al iri, sheleg al panai.
Uvetoch hapri, kol ga'agu'ai.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
SNOW ON MY CITY

Snow over my city, resting all the night.
My love has gone to the warm lands.

Snow over my city, and the night is cold.
From the warm countries he will bring me a date.
Snow over my city, and the night is cold.
From the warm countries he will bring me a date.

The honey of the fig, the sweetness of carob.
And a caravan of camels laden with all good things.

Surely my heart's sun will return here.
And from there, he will bring an orange.
Surely my heart's sun will return here.
And from there, he will bring an orange.

Snow over my city, resting like a tallit.
From the warm lands, what have you brought me?

Snow on my city, snow on my face.
And within the fruit are all my longings.
Snow on my city, snow on my face.
And within the fruit are all my longings.

Neige sur ma ville

NEIGE SUR MA VILLE

Neige sur ma ville, toute la nuit elle reste.
Vers les pays chauds, mon amour est parti.

Neige sur ma ville, et la nuit est froide.
Des pays chauds, tu m'apporteras une datte.
Neige sur ma ville, et la nuit est froide.
Des pays chauds, tu m'apporteras une datte.

Le miel de la figue, la douceur du caroubier.
Et une caravane de chameaux chargés de tous les biens.

Voilà, tu reviens, soleil de mon cœur.
Et de là, tu apporteras une orange.
Voilà, tu reviens, soleil de mon cœur.
Et de là, tu apporteras une orange.

Neige sur ma ville, elle repose comme un talit.
Des pays chauds, qu'est-ce que tu m'as apporté ?

Neige sur ma ville, neige sur mon visage.
Et dans le fruit, tous mes désirs.
Neige sur ma ville, neige sur mon visage.
Et dans le fruit, tous mes désirs.
