Hebrew Lyrics

1.
Tnu lashemesh la'alot
Laboker leha'ir.
Hazaka shebatfilot
Otanu lo takhzir.

2.
Mi asher kava nero
Uveafar nitman,
Bekhi mar lo ya'iro,
Lo yakhziro lekhan.

3.
Ish otanu lo yashiv
Mibor takhtit afel,
Kan lo yo'ilu lo simkhat hanitzakhon
Velo shirey halel!

Refrain
Lakhen, rak shiru shir lashalom
Al tilkhashu tfila!
Mutav tashiru shir lashalom
Bitze'aka gdola!

4.
Tnu lashemesh lakhador
Miba'ad laprahim,
Al tabitu le'akhor,
Hanikhu laholkhim.

S'u eynayim betikva
Lo derekh kavanot.
Shiru shir la'ahava
Velo lamilkhamot!

Al tagidu: "Yom yavo" -
havi'u et hayom!
(Ki lo khalom hu)
Uvekhol hakikarot
Hari'u rak shalom

Translation

Let the sun rise
And give the morning light,
The purest prayer
Will not bring us back.

He whose candle was blown out
out
And was buried in the dust,
A bitter cry won't wake him
Won't bring him back.

Nobody will return us
From the dead dark pit,
Here - neither the victory
cheer
Nor songs of praise will
help.

Refrain:
So - sing only a song for
peace,
Do not whisper a prayer.
Better sing a song for peace
With a big shout.

Let the sun penetrate
Through the flowers,
Don't look backward
Leave those who departed.

Lift your eyes with hope,
Not through the rifle sights.
Sing a song for love,
And not for wars.

Don't say the day will come,
Bring the day
Because it is not a dream,
And within all the city's
squares,
Cheer only peace.

Refrain:
So - sing only a song for
peace,
Do not whisper a prayer.
Better sing a song for peace,
With a big shout.

Here's a singable version:
Let the sun rise up today,
Oh let the morning dawn,
All your prayers and all your pleas
Won't give us life again

Now our candle's flickered out,
Now we have turned to dust,
Bitter tears won't bring us back,
Or wake us from our rest.

You can never bring us back.
In the dark we lie. No help for us from
All the songs of triumph you sing,
And the hymns of victory.

Chorus:
Just sing for peace, just shout it- Shalom!
Don't murmur like a prayer,
Just sing to peace, just sing it aloud
Let voices ring out here!

Let the sunshine filter in
Through the flowering wreaths,
Move ahead and don't look back
At those who lie beneath.

Raise your eyes in hope once more,
Don't gaze through rifle sights.
Sing a song to peace and love,
And not to war and fights.

Don't just say- the day is nigh
Help to bring it near. It's not just dream now,
And in all the city streets
Just sing it loud and clear

Chorus: Just sing for peace...
