lyrics

Makom Shemesh

Written by: Haviva Pedaya

Transliterated Hebrew Lyrics

Makom shemesh
Zavach me'orav va'yivar
Makom zanach karnav va'yach
Selah, rosho rach


Makom Haveetoor
Makom Hakmeha
Makom Pashoot
Makom Noash
Makom Libi She'af Zarach


Translated Lyrics (Translation by Rabbi Aubrey Glazer)

A place of sun
A place out there that the sun consumed
And t'was blazing
A place where it abandoned its
Beating, stone tender head

Abnegation place
A yearning place
A simple place
A hopeless place
A place where heart and hand shone
