Song of friendship Shir ha re'ut להקת הנחל - שיר הרעות
HARE'UT
Al hanegev yored leil hastav
Umatzit kochavim cheresh cheresh
Et haru'ach over el hasaf
Ananim mechalhim al haderech.
Kvar shana, lo hirgashnu kim'at
Eich avru hazmanim besdoteinu.
Kvar shana, venotarnu me'at
Ma rabim she'einam kvar beineinu.
Chorus
Ach nizkor et kulam
Et yafei hablorit vehatohar
Ki re'ut shekazot le'olam
Lo titen et libenu lishko'ach
Ahava mekudeshet bedam
At tashuvi beinenu lifro'ach.
Hare'ut, nesanucha bli milim
Afora, akshanit veshoteket
Milelot ha'eima hagdolim
At noteret adira vedoleket
Hare'ut, kinarayich kulam
Shuv bishmech nechayech venelecha
Ki re'im shenaflu al harbam
Et chaich hotiru lezecher
Chorus
Ach nizkor et kulam
Et yafei hablorit vehatohar
Ki re'ut shekazot le'olam
Lo titen et libenu lishko'ach
Ahava mekudeshet bedam
At tashuvi beinenu lifroach.
THE FRIENDSHIP
In the Negev, the autumn night falls,
And it kindles the stars in the quiet,
As the breeze rustles outside the door
And the dust settles down on the highway.
Time goes on, do we notice at all
How the months have gone by one by one?
Time goes by, there are few of us left,
And so many we once knew are gone.
Chorus
They are gone from our midst,
All their laughter, their youth and their splendor.
But we know that a friendship like that,
We are bound all our lives to remember,
For a love that in battle is forged,
Will endure while we live, fierce and tender.
Oh, the friendship we bore without words,
It was silent and grey, it was wordless.
From the pain and the blood of those days,
It remains with us, ardent and yearning.
In the name of that friendship we know,
In its name we'll go on, every forward,
For those friends, when they fell on their swords,
Left us this precious gift to recall them.
Chorus
They are gone from our midst,
All their laughter, their youth and their splendor.
But we know that a friendship like that,
We are bound all our lives to remember,
For a love that in battle is forged,
Will endure while we live, fierce and tender.
