Translated lyrics
1. Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set In silence the love that I feel will enfold The loneliness seated upon stone of gold That weeps for itself as of old. 2. Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set, The bright golden peacock will flutter our way, And take us all with him so far, far away Wherever deep longing may say, And take us all with him so far far away 3. Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set, The night will arrive singing its lullaby, And heavy with sleep, it will close every eye, Eternal rest is its sad cry. And heavy with sleep, it will close every eye, Eternal rest is its sad cry.
Notes
A beautiful song with beautiful words... here performed by my favorite klezmer group The Klezmatics from their CD Rhythm and Jews
