Itzik Fefer - איך בין אַ ייִד! (Ikh bin a yid) versuri traducere în engleză


Translation

I am a Jew


The wine of enduring generations
Strengthened me on my wanderer’s way.
The evil sword of pain and lamentations
Nothing that I hold dear could slay-
My people, my faith, and my head unbowed.
It could not stop me from being free and true.
Under the sword I cried aloud:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
Pharaoh and Titus, Haman made their aim
To slay me in their times and lands,
Eternity still bears my name
Upon its hands.
And I survived in Spain the rack,
The Inquisition Fires too.
My horn sounded this message back:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
When Egypt walled my body round
I felt agonies.
But I sowed my pain upon the ground,
And saw the sunrise.
Under the sun a road lay spread,
Where thorns and prickles grew,
And as they pierced my eyes, I said:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
My forty years of wandering
In the wilderness,
Gave me in age the hardening
To bear pain and distress.
Through all my sufferings and my fears,
Bar Kochba’s call came to my ears,
Through every sound and view
I cried: ‘I am a Jew!’
 
What do I need gold for? I had it borrowed
When I possessed no nook
My spirit, high and sorrow
Could not be saturated by its look
Samson’s hair that Delilah shore
Shone brighter than gold could do.
Always one cry was at my core:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
Rabbi Akiba’s sagacity,
And wise Isaiah’s word,
Kept alive my love in me,
Till my hatred stirred,
And i felt the blood of the Maccabees,
Whom the tyrants slew—
I cried from all the gallows-trees:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
Solomon’s wisdom guided me
Along my wanderer’s road,
And Heine’s twisted smile I see
As a scourge and a goad.
Yehuda Halevi’s song in my head
Echoes through and through.
I have often faded but never died:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
In the market places of Amsterdam
Spinoza worked undeterred.
On this earth like a bright sun came
Karl Marx and his word.
It filled with fresh red blood my veins,
And made my old heart new,
It healed my sorrows and my pains:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
My eyes are dazzled with the sunset glow
Of a painting by Levitan.
The road that Mendele trod I go,
And meet the bayonet of a Red Armyman.
The sickle shines on the ripe corn.
I am a son of this Soviet land where I was born.
And too
‘I am a Jew!’
 
From Haifa Harbour answeringly,
From London comes the response to me,
From Buenos Aires and New York
Come songs from Jews who fight and work.
And even from the burning hell
Comes a shuddering I know well.
In them all one word runs through:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
I am a Jew who has drunk up
Happiness from Stalin’s cup.
To those who would let Moscow go
Under the ground,
I call out—‘No.’
There is no other way around -
The Slavs are my brothers, too,
‘I am a Jew!’
 
I am a ship against both shores.
Into eternity my blood pours.
On my pride in Sverdlov I depend,
And on Kaganovitch, Stalin’s friend.
My young go speeding over the snows.
My heart bombs and dynamite throws.
And everywhere the call comes through:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
I am not alone! My strength is growing.
Battle is now my daily bread.
I send the storm raging and blowing,
And the brown enemy falls dead.
My strength is now at rebirth
Gorelik and Papernik, too,
Cry from under the earth:
‘I am a Jew!’
 
Despite the foe who comes destroying
Under the Red Flag I shall live,
I shall plant vineyards for my enjoying,
And on this soil I will thrive.
Whatever the enemy may do
The liberty of the world we shall save.
I shall dance on Hitler’s grave.
‘I am a Jew!’

Do You [Still] Want Me By Dawn?





Two lit candles by the table
The silence is speaking
I'm obsessed
Enchanted night
Everything outside is still
Your desire glistens in the corner of your eye
My heart pounds
Today will soon be yesterday
 

The enchantment takes over
And hot feelings sedate us
My self defense [mechanism]
We give and take
But the question lingers on
 

Tonight I'll make your body and soul glow
Do you [Still] want me by dawn?
In the darkness of the night our love can feed
But do you want to love or run away?
What'll happen next?
What'll happen next?
 

The first light of dawn
Is soon outside our house
But yet still
We have the night
I want to give you a memory
Something for every sense
So enjoy and feel
And the truth
Can wait a little longer
 

We meet and we disappear
But if we run out of time
We'll get to stay
And get an answer
You remember the question
 

Tonight I'll make your body and soul glow
 

Tonight I'll make your body and soul glow

I'm Still Not Giving Up on Getting the Credits I Need





—This is the story of a certain student, the story of a foolish student who, with exams approaching, starts panicking because he hasn't done anything to do with the exams.
 

End-of-term tests start tomorrow.
I have to study, I have to take them seriously.
The way it's going, I won't get the credits I need.
It's really bad, it's really bad.
 

I get back home, put down my bag,
look around, my room's a mess.
It starts bugging me, my room's a mess.
I have to clean up, I have to clean up.
 

—Next, the student begins to tidy his room. Time relentlessly passes, the date advances. The room's a mess, study hasn't begun.
 

Tidy up my room! Hurry! Hurry!
What the exam'll cover! Where did I put it? Where did I put it?
Rely on my best guesses! Pray! Pray!
Dawn's not far away! Rush! Rush!
 

The day of the exam, I slept in.
What a thing to happen! If I jump out of bed,
I'll still be on time. I burst out of the house.
I wait obediently at the red light.
 

I basically run, sometimes I walk.
By breathing's heavy, my head hurts.
But I don't give up. I won't give up yet.
I'll sit the exam, I'll get my credits.
 

—One misfortune after the other befalls the student who foolishly woke up late. Nevertheless, the student still won't abandon hope.
 

To the appointed place! Run! Run!
The end-of-term exam! Take it! Take it!
Sleepiness whispers! Sleep! Sleep!
Beat the drowsiness! Wake up! Wake up!
 

—Overcoming various trials, the student made it to school in one piece. Thus he can finally sit the exam unashamedly.
 

I got, I got to the appointed place.
I took, I took the end-of-term exam.
I'm worried about the results! How will it go? How will it go?
All I can do now is pray! Please! Please!
 

The day after the exam, I slept in.
But it's OK, today's a day off.
I welcome a refreshing morning,
look around, my room's a mess.
 

I'm tired so I'll leave it as it is.
Next time I feel like it, I'll do it then.
For now, I'll sleep, just have a break.
History will repeat itself again.
 

—This was the story of a certain student, the story of a foolish student who right before his exams felt like tidying up his room. Now as for the exam results …?

And Come On





And come on, and come on,
you already knew for a long time
that this love of ours
had been with others,
 

that all of my dreams,
I would never have achieved them,
that I was yours for life until
you had someone else like me.
 

But come on, but come on,
I already knew for a long time
that these words of mine
I told you were perfect.
 

And that love at this point
was over already for a long time.
I'm only afraid to tell you because
I'd not have found someone else as dear as you.
 

So goodbye, best wishes to you
and so goodbye, best wishes to me too.
What's the point of staying together now
if everything's over between us?
 

So goodbye, best wishes to you
and so goodbye, best wishes to me too.
What's the point of staying together now
if everything's over between us?
What's the point of staying together now
if everything's over between us?
What's the point of staying together now
if everything is over between us?...

It's Christmas





I don't know which star brought you here
And my life was filled with 'I love you'
And I left all my sorrows in the past
They have become love, they have become love
Look outside, it's covered in snow for good
Let's go and play like children
Thousands of lights shine rhythmically
 

Let it be the beginning
My love, the beginning
All the Christmas together
It's more than just my wish
 

All the Christmas together
It's from now on my only wish
All these years and celebrations
Let me be in your arms
Let you be in my arms
 

All the Christmas you should say
Even a thousand and two lives aren't enough for me
To have you here by my side
Every Christmas
 

It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas...
 

I don't know if it's a miracle
Or if I'm living a dream
But everything has festive scents
And all the mistakes
They are left the deep
 

They've become love
They've become love
 

In front of the fireplace
We're making our own fire
It burns and warms up our own heart
Christmas songs on radio again
They sound loud, very loud
 

All the Christmas together
It's from now on my only wish
All these years and celebrations
Let me be in your arms
Let you be in my arms
 

All the Christmas you should say
Even a thousand and two lives aren't enough for me
To have you here by my side
Every Christmas
 

It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas...
