A Love Song for Israel performed by Yonina
love all of Yonina’s songs, but this one really touched my heart. Especially in these challenging times, it moved me to see their unwavering (and unwaver-able) love of Israel, “no matter what happens.” May Hashem watch over Yoni and all the IDF soldiers, and may peace return to this Holy Land.
Shabbat SHALOM!
Translated Lyrics:
THE LAND OF ISRAEL
A land, a land, a land,
a land of a light blue sky without a cloud ,
and the sun is to it (to the land)
like milk and honey.
A land we were born in
a land we will live in,
and we will continue living here
no matter what happens.
A land that we’ll love,
like Mother and Father,
a land of the people,
a land forever.
A land we were born in
a land we will live in,
no matter what happens.
A land, a land, a land,
the sea up against the shore,
and flowers and children
without end.
In the North – the Sea of Galilee,
In the South – sands,
And the East to the West
kisses the borders.
A land that we’ll love…
A land, a land, a land,
land of the Torah,
you’re the source of light
and the language of faith.
A land, a land, a land,
a dear land,
you promised
that it is not a fairytale.
AMEN!
