Lyrics (Translated from Hebrew):
A splinter in the soul
illuminates the same half moon
Fire in the wilderness
All I asked for was a flower
Father, mother and the child
who never learned
Here it is, the binding
Out of three comes one
Pull on my arm
See that I’m alone
Where there is no one else around
Suddenly a new being is born
Bells descending from the sky
And ringing inside ears
Singing of the Angels
The flame will burn the eyes
You will see
Ultimately, everbody cries
The end to worrying
The child died, there was murder here
This is no legend
It is etched on his forehead
Father, mother and the child
Who never learned
Here it is, the binding
Out of three comes one
Bells descending from the sky
And ringing inside ears
Singing of the Angels
The flame will burn the eyes
You will see
Ultimately, everbody cries
Pull on my arm
See that I’m alone
Where there is no one else around
Suddenly a new being is born
