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
