Lyrics:
I watch you every day
Always a kind word to say
To a lonely soul
Or a friend who knows
She can always turn your way
The hundreds of children
You’ve raised in Yiddishkeit
Their families in turn
Spark will always burn
Cuz their flame you did ignite
Ilan Ilan Bame
How much you’ve given me?
Exemplifying what it means to live my life fully
My source of strength and wisdom, the guide for all I do
Avarech, I bless your children all grow up to be like you
Ilan Ilan Bame,
How much you've given me?
An impossible task, of what’s been asked, express my love truly
Our home aflame with Torah, such warmth for Yiddishkeit
Avarech, I bless your children walk guided by your light
אִילָן אִילָן בַּמֶּה אֲבָרֶכְךָ
Oh tree, how shall I bentch you
אֶלָא יְהִי רָצוֹן
That all your children be just like you
On the plane alone
Sad to leave home
You're just a call away
Anytime of day
To be with me on the phone
Try to never show
The times I'm feeling low
But when I call you say
Hi! Everything ok?
Somehow you always know!
Ilan Ilan Bame
How much you’ve given me?
Exemplifying what it means to live my life fully
My source of strength and wisdom, the guide for all I do
Avarech, I bless your children all grow to be like you
Ilan Ilan Bame,
How much you've given me?
An impossible task, of what’s been asked, express my love truly
Your home aflame with Shalom, such warmth for Yiddishkeit
Avarech, that we your children are a true source of delight
Ilan Ilan Bame?
How much you’ve given me?
Exemplifying what it means to live my life fully
My source of strength and wisdom, the guide for all I do
Avarech, may we your children all grow to be like you
Ilan Ilan Bame,
How much you've given me?
From you I’ve learned true boundless love, and most importantly
Hashem should give you nachas
To grow old and to see
Generations that will blossom
Hashem should give you nachas
To grow old and to see
The Generations that will blossom from yours and Tatty's tree
Sincerely us,
Your loving family
