SHMA ISRAEL
(KSHEHALEV BOCHE) SHMA ISRAEL
Kshehalev boche rak Elohim shomea
Hake’ev ole mitoch haneshama

Bitfila ktana chotech et hadmama
Shma israel Elohai ata hakol yachol
Natata li et chayai natata li hakol
Be’enai dim’a halev boche besheket
Uchshelalev shotek haneshama zo’eket
Shma Israel Elohai achshav ani levad
Chazek oti Elohai ase shelo efchad
Hake’ev gadol ve’en lean livroach
Ase sheyigamer ki lo notar be ko’ach
Kshehalev boche hazman omed milechet
Ha’adam ro’e et kol chayav pitom
El halo noda hu lo rotze lalechet
Le’elohav kore al saf tehom
Shma Israel…..
SHEMA YISRAEL
(WHEN THE HEART CRIES)
When the heart cries only God hears
The pain rises from the soul
A man falls down before he sinks
He cuts the silence with a small prayer
Shma Israel, my God, you are the mighty one
You gave me my life you gave me everything
A tear in my eyes, the heart cries in silence
And when the heart is silent the soul cries out
Shma Israel, my God, I am all alone now
Make me strong, my God, so I will not be afraid
The pain is great and there is no where to run
Make it end, I don’t have any strength left
When the heart cries time stands still
A man sees his life passing in front of him
He doesn’t want to go to the unknown
He calls his God as he stands on the edge of the deep
Translator's note:
The song was written in 2000 after the brutal lynching of two reserve soldiers in Ramalla.
