עץ השדה [Ets HaSadeh] [English translation]

For man is the tree of the field

Like the man, the tree also grows

Like the tree, the man gets cut down

And I know not

Where I was or where would I be

Like the tree of the field

For man is the tree of the field

Like the tree, (the man) aspires to great heights

Like the man, (the tree) catches fire

And I know not

Where I was or where would I be

Like the tree of the field

I have loved and I have hated

I have tasted of this and that

I was buried in a plot of earth

And bitter, bitter is my mouth

Like the tree of the field

Like the tree of the field

For man is the tree of the field

Like the tree, (the man is) thirsty for water

Like the man, (the tree) remains thirsty

And I know not

Where I was or where would I be

Like the tree of the field

I have loved and I have hated

I have tasted of this and that

I was buried in a plot of earth

And bitter, bitter is my mouth

Like the tree of the field

Like the tree of the field

For man is the tree of the field

For man is the tree of the field

The tree of the field
