Lyrics
Hebrew Lyrics |
English Translation |
| Shuv ha'eder noher, bimvo'ot hak' far | Again the flocks wander down the village street |
| V'oleh ha'avak, mishvilei afar | And the dust rises from sandy paths |
| Veharcheck od tsemed inbalim | And far away the bells |
| M'lave et meshech hatslalim | Merge with the gathering shadows |
| Erev ba, erev ba. | Evening falls, evening falls. |
| Shuv haru' ach lochesh, bein gidrot ganim | Again the wind whispers through the garden fences |
| Uv' tzameret habrosh, kvar namot yonim | And the doves coo from the top of the cypress |
| V'harchek al ketef hagva' ot | And in the distance the last rays of the sun |
| Od noshkot, karnayim achronot | Caress the hillsides |
| Erev ba, erev ba. | Evening falls, evening falls. |
| Shuv havered cholem, chalomot balat | Again the rose dreams, langorous dreams |
| Uforchim cochavim, bamarom at at | And gradually, up high, the stars begin to twinkle |
| Veharcheck ba'emek ha'afel | And afar in the dark valley |
| Melave hatan, et bo halel | The jackal accompanies the approach of night |
| Layil rad, layil rad. | Night falls, night falls. |
