Translated lyrics
1. The blue Dead Sea quietly stirs And above a small cloud floats The tamarisk tree soundlessly moves And every line in the sand is finely etched The earth yellows in the blaze of the sun And a stifling dust flies high But Ein Gedi will not wilt In her reign the tones of green and brown Refrain: Ein Gedi How has it come to be that you sprouted in the heat? Ein Gedi How is it creeks plow through the desolation? Ein Gedi In you beauty is manifested in all its glory And the heart ponders and covets 2. The blue Dead Sea quietly stirs And every hill here towers proud and lofty And Arugot Creek, of renown Its course heads straight into the sea The earth yellows in the blaze of the sun But Ein Gedi is an oasis A new day never resembles its precursor And the morrow holds in store a brilliant future Refrain singable translation: by micah morgenstern (please forgiver the spelling) The blue sea of death in seldom waves it ponders And above a little cloud will sail at hand In the wind the Tamarisk branch wanders and the lines etch beuaty in the sand the earth below bakes yellow in the sunrays overwhelming dust flies over head but Ein Gedi stays above the dry haze as she dwells herself in green and brown instead Ein gedi ein gedi how you've grown yourself tall in the sun Ein Gedi Ein Gedi how therough nothingness your waters run Ein Gedi Ein gedi in you beuaty appears and adorns and the heart wishing towards you it is born and the heart wishing towards you it is born the blue sea of death in seldom waves it ponders and the mountains stand tall proud as they can be arugot stream under bluest yanders washes straight ahead into the sea the earth below bakes yellow in the sunrays but ein gedi's a mirage for sights such a future rght before her feet lays and the yesterday's so different from last night copyright: micah morgenstern - micahmorgenstern@hotmail.com
