נערה ושמה כנרת [Neara Ushma Kinneret] [English translation]

At the foot of the mountain, on the bank of the river,

She sat by herself - Do you know her secret?

The Jordan was then silent

The (Mount) Chermon again laughed

Only the silence told, that she waited for him.

The rustle of the Jordan was still heard in the air

And the soft sound of weeping, of the girl whose name is...

Kineret, Kineret, Kineret

The wind sings to you

The wind sings to you

And the sun over the Jordan shines for you

Setting on the mountain

So the hours passed

And the sunsets passed

And each sad evening called her to return

But here she will sit

As the wind blows

A sea of tears flowing from her cheeks to the shore

Then the rustle of the Jordan was still heard all around

And the soft sound of weeping, of the girl whose name is...

Kineret, Kineret, Kineret

The wind sings to you

The wind sings to you

And the sun over the Jordan shines for you

Setting on the mountain

In the light of day

Suddenly she was not seen

At the mountain, on the bank of the river

Facing the Jordan and its waves

Facing (Mount) Chermon and its snows

Only her weeping remained

But he did not return

Then the rustle of the Jordan was still heard all around

On the sea of tears that is called by her name...

Kineret, Kineret, Kineret

The wind sings to you

The wind sings to you

And the sun over the Jordan shines for you

Setting on the mountain

Kineret, Kineret, Kineret

The wind sings to you

The wind sings to you

And the sun over the Jordan shines for you

Setting on the mountain
