אתה לי ארץ [Ata li Eretz] [English translation]

I'm walking silently in your paths

I'm touching the herbs of time

I'm learning all of your trails

Camping near any spring

I'm on a journey to you

The soil is tough and seared

I'm slowly flourishing between your rocks

like a stray deer in the prairie

I know the way is still long,

but I will keep on going until exhaustion

You are my eternally lost land,

but your roots are deep inside

Give me time, reach out your hand

until we discover together the land

I know the way is still long,

but your roots are deep inside

In the mysteries of the woods I find

corners where love has not reached yet

and in their shadows I'll fall stricken with dizziness

Is this the good land?

I know until my days are through

No, I will not reach the depths of your heart

But how beautiful is the way where I left

my footprints on your land.

I know the way is still long...
