העיר הלבנה [haIr haLevanah] [English translation]

A foaming wave and a cloud

I built me a white city

Like them foaming, like them washed, like them beautiful

With an unblemished morning a window opens

and you, girl, observe so

like a dove ready to take flight

Because the dawn comes and the light

and my entire city goes out to work

and, crowded, has her flight burdened

Here is my city, big like light

and she is a grain of grey powder

grain of powder that sticks to an scarf

A foaming wave and a cloud

I built me a white city

Like them foaming, like them washed, like them beautiful

With a soft evening a window closes

and you, girl, observe so

like a waiting queen to her champion

Because the black night comes

my city shines, plenty of bartering

and her lights are a necklace on her neck

Here is my city big as night

and she is a somber, giant palace

and my girl rules in it until tomorrow
