Translation:
The candle's light blends with the moonlight Or haner nimhal b'or hayarei'ach
Your hair is spread across the pillow Al hakar sa'areich shafuch
At the top window, a tree blossoms Bachalon tzameret eitz porei'ach
And the silence has returned V'hasheket chazar
Ones sees according to one's smile Ro'im l'fi hachiyuch
The storm was here, now it's passed Sa'ara hayta, hinei chalfa la
And your face is again calm like the sea Ufanayich shuv rog'ot kifnei hayam
With the light, we'll continue to go further Im ha'or nosif lalechet hal'a
The road is still long Od haderech raba
The journey is not yet over Hamasa adayin lo tam
It's not easy, our path is not easy Lo kala hi, lo kala darkeinu
And your eyes sometimes are so sad V'einayich lifamim ko nugot
More blossoming fields are before us Od sadot porchim yesh lifaneinu
More high mountains Od harim g'vohim
With cool summits V'tzon'nei p'sagot
Fragments of light are in your tears R'sisim shel or b'dimotayich
And a smile again gropes its way towards me V'chiyuch shuv m'gashesh darko eilai
All the good is still before you Kol hatov odenu lifanayich
Put your head on my shoulder Simi rosh al k'teifi
Put your hand in mine Tni li yadeich b'yadi
Very soon the candle will finish dying out Od m'at yitam haner, ligvoha
Very soon the blessed quiet will be routed Od m'at yuvas hasheket hamvorach
The commotion of the day will begin to break through Hamulat hayom tatchil lifko'a
You won't walk alone Lo telchi l'vadeich
I'll be there with you Ani eh'yeh sham itach
