Paroles et traduction Arik Einstein - Yeladim Shel Hachaim

Yeladim Shel Hachaim

Einai p'kuchot mibli lir'ot et hashamaim
Mibli lir'ot kachol shel yam, yarok shel etz
Mibli lishmo'a manginot yafot k'mo pa'am
Mibli lir'ot et hadvarim k'mo shehem.

Yeladim k'tanim, yeladim g'dolim,
Yeladim tovim veyeladim ra'im
At yoda'at Ima,
Kulanu yeladim shel hachaim.

Ani noshem, ani chavuk bizro'otaich
Ani ro'eh bach bayit cham umishpachah
Ve'or bahir bachalonot she'at potachat
Ani chofshi, ach ein li menuchah.

Yeladim k'tanim...

Veharofe kvar medaber al sof hadrech
Aval ani yachol lasim lapachad ketz
Einai p'kuchot bishvil lir'ot et hashamaim
Bishvil lir'ot kachol shel yam, yarok shel etz.

Yeladim k'tanim...

Children of Life

My eyes are open so I can see the sky,
So I can see the ocean's blue and the tree's green,
So I can hear delightful music like always,
So I can see things as they are.

Small children, big children,
Good children and bad children,
As you know, Mother,
We are all children of life.

I carry you, I hug you,
I see a warm home and family in you
And the light outside through the windows you open,
I am free, but I have no rest.

Small children...

And the doctor still speaks of the end of my path,
But I can smile at the fear of the end,
My eyes are open so I can see the sky,
So I can see the ocean's blue and the tree's green.

Small children...
