Rak Tefila

Rak tefillah esa
Ho keli keli
Shehashemesh ta′avor alai
V'tar′eh lee shuv et mish'alai
Ho keli keli
Rak tefillah esa
Shehashemesh ta'avor alai
Vetikach oti el hamasa... Tefillah esa
Yeshnom yamim lelo margoa
Bam lo emtza lee nechama
Umuchrach ani lingoa
B′asavim, b′adama.
Lifso'a be′ota haderech
Betoch prichat hakarkomim
V'liheyot kol kach acher
V′lifroach erev hagshamim
Ve'im ashuv el zot ha′aretz
Ve'im efsa shuv badrachim
Ha'im kekedem yakiruni
Ha′anashim v′haprachim
Ha'im emtza et kol hayofi
Et habe′er hanoshana
Asher hai'ta sham k′she'azavti
Od nova′at kevarishona
... Tefillah esa... Rak Tefillah... Rak Tefillah esa

Rak Tefila

Only a Prayer Can I Offer
Oh, my God, my God
May the sun shine upon me
And show me my torch again
Oh, my God, my God
Only a prayer can I offer
May the sun shine upon me
And lead me to salvation... A prayer can I offer
There are days without rest
In them I find no solace
And I am destined to wander
In anguish, in solitude.
To pass the time on the road
Amongst the chatter of strangers
And for everything to be different
And for the rainy evenings to clear
And if I return to this land
And if I wander in its paths again
Will the men and women
Call me as they did before
Will I find all the beauty
The well that flowed
When I left it there
Still gushing as before
... A Prayer can I offer... Only a Prayer... Only a Prayer can I offer
