LYRICS:
For just as my ancestors planted for me - I am planting for my descendants, too. [Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Taanit 23a] The song of elevations upon the return of HASHEM; when Zion was restored, we were like dreamers. [Psalms 126:1]
Ki heichi d’shatlei li avahatai - shatlei nami liv’ra’i. Shir ha-maalot be-shuv ADOSHEM et shivat tzion hayinu ke-cholmim.
Here, in the earth that fashioned Eve
[Here they planted for me]
Here, where understanding grew
[I’m planting for you]
Up here an olive branch was seen
[Here they planted for me]
Under skies where colors flew
[I’m planting for you]
Ki heichi...
From here, a voice burned in the leaves
[Here they planted for me]
A call to lead our people through
[I’m planting for you]
Right here, Deborah came to teach
[Here they planted for me]
Beneath her tree we sought the truth
[I’m planting for you]
Ki heichi...
[Shir ha-maalot]
Someone dreamed the world for me
[Be-shuv ADOSHEM]
Now I am dreaming it for you
[Et shivat tzion]
Take the world, and dream anew
[Hayinu ke-cholmim, ke-cholmim]
