Shlomi Shabat
Palm Tree Shadow
Shadow of a palm tree and moonlight
And the melody of a harp divides the heart
A shadow dances, breaks
From the strings is poured pain
Play the harp, play your songs
How great is the darkness and the silence around
Your melodies will silence my pain
Play, play
For all your tunes how pleasant is the dream
Play, play
Listen moon to my voice up there
Oh why why
In your lips you sealed me?
You captured my heart and left me
Loving, hurting and enduring
The harp's tune pierces the moonlight
And in silence the melody is still heard
Why and for what does God know
Why a cruel and wild world
In the dust of the past is buried
A beloved image, familiar faces
The harp will hear silent memories
How pleasant
