בשנה הבאה

בשנה הבאה נשב על המרפסת

ונספור ציפורים נודדות.

ילדים בחופשה ישחקו תופסת

בין הבית לבין השדות.

עוד תראה, עוד תראה

כמה טוב יהיה

בשנה, בשנה הבאה.

ענבים אדומים יבשילו עד הערב

ויוגשו צוננים לשולחן.

ורוחות רדומים ישאו אל אם הדרך

עיתונים ישנים וענן.

עוד תראה, עוד תראה...

בשנה הבאה נפרוש כפות ידיים

מול האור הניגר הלבן

אנפה לבנה תפרוש באור כנפיים

והשמש תזרח בתוכן.

עוד תראה, עוד תראה...

In the year that will be


In the year that will be ... we’ll sit out on our porches
Counting migrating birds as they fly
And the children will run between the houses and the fields
Playing catch under cloudless blue skies

Chorus
Come with me, you will see
Just how sweet life will be
in the year, in the year that will be
Come with me, you will see
Just how sweet life will be
in the year, in the year that I see

Dark red grapes on the vine will ripen til the evening,
Then bring the chill of the night to our plates
And the soft wind will blow a cloud of old newspaper
Bearing news that is long out of date

Chorus

In the year that will be ... we’ll spread our hands before us
Gathering light that will dazzle our eyes
A white heron will spread her perfect wings above us
And between them the new sun will rise ...

Chorus
