The words of "Shir Lelo Shem" ("A Song with No Name"), by Shalom Hanoch, are embedded in Israeli consciousness because of their touching blend of remembrance, hope, grace and prayer.
For Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen, we invite you to hear Yehudit Ravitz's moving rendition of the song, from a tribute concert for the captured and missing soldiers that took place in the presence of the families, initiated by the IPO Foundation and the Hesseg Foundation, as part of Israel's 60th Anniversary celebrations.
Conductor: Gianandrea Noseda
"My song is an echo in the spirit
A letter sent
The path of my life
My longing
My prayer echo.
Because my song is a leaf in the wind
The impoverished, forgotten
He is the soft light
In my nights
He is the one who walks me.
As I wander, I pass
Images and souls
And names, names
You come and go to me.
Oh
Darkness around
I wish you were listening
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You come and go to me.
On my way, walking with me
Landscapes and melodies
And face, face
You come and go to me.
Oh
Stillness all around
And if you were listening
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You come and go to me
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You come and go to me.
Because my song is the breeze
My open window
Spring of my power, laughter and crying
An end to my agony
You come and go to me.
