lyrics

Light A Candle

Lifamim nidme she’en tikva (At times it seems like there's no hope)
Vehakol nireh kol kach afel velo yadu-a (And everything looks so gloomy and uncertain)
Haprahim od lo parhu bagan u’vasade (The flowers in the garden and fields have not bloomed yet)
Uva’erev rak maka haruah (And only the wind is blowing at night)
Az bo’u venadlik beyahad ner (Then let's light a candle together).
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
Lifamim nireh she-hamahar (At times, it seems that tomorrow)
Lo yavi po nehama labekhi velatsa-ar (Will bring no consolation to stop your crying and sadness)
Vehalaila ha-arokh nimshakh bli havtaha (And the long night drag on without confidence)
Veha’afela hada kata’ar (And the darkness is sharp as a razor)
Az bo’u venadlik beyahad ner (Then let's light a candle together).
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
Light all the candles
Let’s light the candles everywhere
Just look at me and take my hand
The heat of love will glow again
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
Light a candle, light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
