Translated lyrics
when the heart cries only G-D can hear the pain comes up from inside the soul the blood falls, before it sinks with a little prayer, cuts the silence listen israel my G-d you are capable of anything you gave me my life, you gave me all in my eyes theres a tear, the heart cries in silence and when the heart is quiet the soul cries out listen israel my G-d now i am alone make me strong my G-d make me not fear the pain is large and there is nowhere to hide make it stop because there is no power left in me when the heart cries the time stand from going the man suddenly seen all his life to the unknown he doesn't want to go to my G-d he calls on the verge of purity
Notes
The best and most spiritual version of this well known Jewish song I have ever heard. It is not very long but it is very powerful. It is from a new age CD titled "American Jew" by recording and performing artist Jeff Janning and sung by him and his wife Terri and accomoanied on Accoustical guitar. I first heard this song when he (Jeff) was on his Mitzvah tour in 2000 and preformed at Jewish Community Center Orland
