Letra
Sitting in a hall in Kiryat Shmona
With Jews from Syria, from Yemen and Iran
The only Ashkenazi in Kiryat Shmona
I can hear their laughter, but I cannot understand
Just another foreigner in another foreign land
But these strangers are my brothers, as they take me by the hand
Singing, "Aleikhem salaam, salaam aleikhem, heim sharu
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem"
I met a man from Addis Ababa
His skin was black and his features kind of strange
He showed me a book that he said was the Torah
And spoke of his people, Falasha was their shame
Just another foreigner in another foreign land
Then I knew he was my brother when he took me by the hand
Singing, "O'tanasteli, shalom aleichem, heim sharu
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem"
A woman returns on the streets of Odessa
From looking for a job in the cold Russian wind
It's been five hungry years while she waits for a visa
She still lights the candles as Shabbos begins
Just another foreigner in another foreign land
But she's joining all her people as she follows God's command
"O'Zhdarovoh, shalom aleichem, heim sharu
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem"
Welcome, my brothers, welcome one and all!
We're singing
Welcome, my sisters, welcome one and all!
One and all
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem
We're singing
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem
Shalom, shalom, shalom
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem
Bruchim haba'im, shalom aleichem
