Song of Ascents (Shir Hamaalot)

Oh, big brother Please don't lie Stay free from the other side Oh, big brother Please don't change Same face till the very end What will push you, might a psalm? And they push you "Write a song!" And they push you, right? You run away into the light Shir lemaalot Hinei barchu et Hashem Kol avdai Hashem Sinu rah Shomer nafshot chassidav Shir lemaalot Hinei barchu et Hashem Kol avdai Hashem Sinu rah Shomer nafshot chassidav Oh, big brother Please don't leave Stay true to your energy Oh, big brother Can't you see? Father plays the game of hide and seek What will push you all along? On the path of right from wrong What will push you right? A candle held up in the night Shir lemaalot Hinei barchu et Hashem Kol avdai Hashem Sinu rah Shomer nafshot chassidav Shir lemaalot Hinei barchu et Hashem Kol avdai Hashem Sinu rah Shomer nafshot chassidav Ure'eh im derech otzev bi Unecheini be'derech oilam Ure'eh im derech otzev bi Unecheini be'derech oilam And you'll see if the path is sad for me And you'll place me on the path of eternity And you'll see if the path is sad for me And you'll place me on the path of eternity And you'll see if the path is sad for me And you'll place me on the path of eternity And you'll see if the path is sad for me And you'll place me on the path of eternity
