Hebrew Lyrics
Bir'chovenu hatzar gar nagar echad muzar
Hu yoshev bi'tzrifo v'lo oseh davar
Ish eino ba liknot v'ein ish m'vaker
U'shnatayim she'hu kvar eino m'nager
V'hu chalom echad noseh od bil'vavo
Livnot kisei l'Eliyahu she'yavo
Al kapav oto yavi
L'Eliyahu Hanavi
CHORUS
V'hu yoshev um'chakeh lo
Kvar shanim cholem hu she'yizkeh lo
Al sodo shomer um'chakeh lo
Matai kvar yagi'ah hayom?
Bir'chovenu hatzar gar sandlar echad muzar
Hu yoshev bi'tzrifo v'lo oseh davar
Madafav hareikim m'chusim b'avak
Kvar shnatayim munach ham'ratze'ah basak
V'hu cholem ki na'alayim hu tofer
Van al harim yinvu raglei ham'vaser
Al kapav otan yavi
L'Eliyahu Hanavi
CHORUS
V'hu yoshev um'chakeh lo
Kvar shanim cholem hu she'yizkeh lo
Al sodo shomer um'chakeh lo
Matai kvar yagi'ah hayom?
Bi'y'rushalayim yeshno ish l'gamrei lo tza'ir
She'bana harbei batim b'chol pinot ha'ir
Hu makir kol simtah kol r'chov ush'kunah
Hu boneh et ha'ir kvar shiv'im shana
V'hu cholem ki k'mo she'eit ha'ir banah
Yani'ach laMikdash et Even Hapinah
Al kapav otah yavi
Eliyahu Hanavi
CHORUS
V'hu yoshev um'chakeh lo
Kvar shanim cholem hu she'yizkeh lo
Al sodo shomer um'chakeh lo
Matai kvar yagi'ah hayom?
Translation
On our narrow street lives a strange carpenter
He sits in his hut and doesn't do a thing
No one comes to buy and no one comes to visit
And it's been two years since he's done any carpentry
And he carries one dream in his heart
To build a chair for Elijah who will come
On the palms of his hands he will bring it
To Elijah the Prophet
CHORUS
And he sits and waits for him
For years now he's been dreaming he will be worthy
He guards his secret and he waits for him
When will the day come?
On our narrow street lives a strange shoemaker
He sits in his hut and doesn't do a thing
His empty shelves are covered with dust
For two years his awl has been sitting in a sack
And he dreams that he will make a pair of shoes
To be worn on the feet of the Herald
On the palms of his hands he will carry them
To Elijah the Prophet
CHORUS
And he sits and waits for him
For years now he's been dreaming he will be worthy
He guards his secret and he waits for him
When will the day come?
In Jerusalem there's a man entirely not young
He has built many houses in every corner of the city
He knows every street and every neighborhood
For seventy years he has built the city
And he dreams that just as he built the city
He will lay the cornerstone of the Holy Temple
On the palms of his hands he will bring it
--Elijah the Prophet
CHORUS
And he sits and waits for him
For years now he's been dreaming he will be worthy
He guards his secret and he waits for him
When will the day come?
