about

שיר שכתבתי כששלמה קרליבך הלך לעולמו, לעולמנו

lyrics

איך אפשר
להבין
אלוהים
מה היה לנו

אין מילים
אין צלילים
אין כלים
מה היה לנו

הילדים שיחקו
על המשעולים
בין צמתים צרים
בין המצבות
יונה שם נרדם
עליך הוא חלם
מוקף באור ורם
על הר המנוחות

איך אפשר
לדבר
על כל דבר אחר
מה היה לנו

העולם
שוחה בים
דמעות העם
מה היה לנו

על משאבת בטון
מיכאל נרדם
עליך הוא חלם
בין הטרקטורים
הופעת בחיוך
אמרת דע לך
חופן אדמה
לא יעצור אותי

איך אפשר
להבין
אלוהים
מה היה לנו

How is it possible to understand
O God What we had is gone
There are no words There are no sounds
There are no vessels What we had is gone

The children played on the paths
Between narrow crossroads Between the graves
Yonah fell asleep there He dreamt of you
Surrounded by light and high on Mt. Menuhot

How is it possible to speak
Of anything else What we had is gone
The world swims in a sea
Of the people's tears What we had is gone

On a cement mixer Michael fell asleep
He dreamt of you among the tractors
You appeared with a smile You said: You should know
A handful of dirt won't stop me

How is it possible to understand
O God What we had is gone
