lyrics

Ani Maamin | I Believe | אני מאמין

Rejoice, rejoice now in the dreams
I the dreamer am he who speaks
Rejoice, for I’ll have faith in mankind
For in mankind I believe.

For my soul still yearns for freedom
I’ve not sold it to a calf of gold
For I shall yet have faith in mankind
In its spirit great and bold

That will cast off binding chains
Raise us up, hold high our heads
Workers will not die of hunger
For souls – release, for poor folk – bread.

Rejoice for I have faith in friendship
I’ll find a heart – in this I’ve faith –
A heart that shares in all my hopes,
A heart that feels both joy and pain.

And I shall keep faith in the future,
Though the day be yet unseen
Surely it will come when nations
All live in blessed peace.

A poet shall sing a new anthem,
His heart aware of beauty sublime
For him, that young man, above my tomb
Blossoms in a wreath shall twine.

(Written in Odessa in 1892. Translated from Hebrew by Vivian Eden)



אני מאמין
מילים: שאול טשרניחובסקי
לחן: טוביה שלונסקי

​שַׂחֲקִי, שַׂחֲקִי עַל הַחֲלוֹמוֹת,
זוּ אֲנִי הַחוֹלֵם שָֹח.
שַׂחֲקִי כִּי בָאָדָם אַאֲמִין,
כִּי עוֹדֶנִּי מַאֲמִין בָּךְ.

כִּי עוֹד נַפְשִׁי דְּרוֹר שׁוֹאֶפֶת
לֹא מְכַרְתִּיהָ לְעֵגֶל-פָּז,
כִּי עוֹד אַאֲמִין גַּם בָּאָדָם,
גַּם בְּרוּחוֹ, רוּחַ עָז.

רוּחוֹ יַשְׁלִיךְ כַּבְלֵי-הֶבֶל,
יְרוֹמְמֶנּוּ בָּמֳתֵי-עָל;
לֹא בָּרָעָב יָמוּת עֹבֵד,
דְּרוֹר – לַנֶּפֶשׁ, פַּת – לַדָּל.

שַׂחֲקִי כִּי גַּם בְּרֵעוּת אַאֲמִין,
אַאֲמִין, כִּי עוֹד אֶמְצָא לֵב,
לֵב תִּקְוֹתַי גַּם תִּקְוֹתָיו,
יָחוּשׁ אֹשֶׁר, יָבִין כְּאֵב.

אַאֲמִינָה גַּם בֶּעָתִיד,
אַף אִם יִרְחַק זֶה הַיּוֹם,
אַךְ בּוֹא יָבוֹא – יִשְּׂאוּ שָׁלוֹם
אָז וּבְרָכָה לְאֹם מִלְאֹם.

אָז שִׁיר חָדָשׁ יָשִׁיר מְשׁוֹרֵר,
לְיֹפִי וְנִשְׂגָּב לִבּוֹ עֵר;
לוֹ, לַצָּעִיר, מֵעַל קִבְרִי
פְּרָחִים יִלְקְטוּ לַזֵּר.

שַׂחֲקִי, שַׂחֲקִי עַל הַחֲלוֹמוֹת,
זוּ אֲנִי הַחוֹלֵם שָֹח.
