The wanderer's song

The wanderer's song (Shir ha noded)
Lyrics: David Shimoni (1886-1956)
–Traditional Bukharian melody

 

Who will let me fly,
Small winged bird,
Ah, there is no end to my wanderings
How my soul is afflicted...:||

Who will let me fly,
Small winged bird,
That will rest undisturbed
In the good nest.
Ah...
That will rest undisturbed
In the good nest.

Ah, like a wandering bird
I too will roam,
But when I grow tired
I have no nest to rest in...
Ah...
But when I grow tired
I have no nest to rest in...
