Na'ara Ushma Kineret - Ofra Haza

Na'ara Ushma Kineret (A Girl Named Kineret) (נערה ושמה כנרת) - Ofra Haza on Zehu Ze! (That's It!) (זהו זה), the Israeli Educational Television (IETV) Channel 1 program, introduced by Shlomo Bar-Aba and Gidi Gov; Thursday, July 21, 1983..... Na'ara Ushma Kineret is based on a legend on the origin of Yam Kineret, known in English as the Sea Of Galilee. In a village in the Galil lived a young girl who played the harp (in Biblical Hebrew, "kinor") beautifully, and therefore she was called Kineret. She played the harp for her love, Elchanan. One day bandits attacked the village and Elchanan went to fight them, and was killed. When Kineret heard the news she cried endlessly. Her tears turned into a sea in the shape of a harp.

The Jordan was then silent The (Mount) Chermon again laughed Only the silence told, that she waited for him. The rustle of the Jordan was still heard in the air And the soft sound of weeping, of the girl whose name is... Kineret, Kineret, Kineret The wind sings to you The wind sings to you And the sun over the Jordan shines for you Setting on the mountain So the hours passed And the sunsets passed And each sad evening called her to return But here she will sit As the wind blows A sea of tears flowing from her cheeks to the shore Then the rustle of the Jordan was still heard all around And the soft sound of weeping, of the girl whose name is... Kineret, Kineret, Kineret The wind sings to you The wind sings to you And the sun over the Jordan shines for you Setting on the mountain In the light of day Suddenly she was not seen At the mountain, on the bank of the river Facing the Jordan and its waves Facing (Mount) Chermon and its snows Only her weeping remained But he did not return Then the rustle of the Jordan was still heard all around On the sea of tears that is called by her name... Kineret, Kineret, Kineret The wind sings to you The wind sings to you And the sun over the Jordan shines for you Setting on the mountain Kineret, Kineret, Kineret The wind sings to you The wind sings to you And the sun over the Jordan shines for you Setting on the mountain לרגליו של ההר לחופו של נהר היא ישבה לבדה התדעו מה סודה הירדן אז שתק החרמון שוב צחק רק סיפרה השתיקה כי היא לו מחכה אז רחש ירדן בחלל עוד נשמע ורחש בכיה של ילדה, אשר שמה כנרת, כנרת, כנרת הרוח לך שר, הרוח לך שר ושמש ירדן לך זוהרת שוקעת בהר, בהר כך חולפות השעות ועוברות השקיעות וכל ערב עצוב אז קורא לה לשוב אבל היא פה תשב והרוח נושב ים דמעות אז ישטוף מלחייה אל החוף אז רחש ירדן, סביב עוד נשמע לאורו של היום לא ראינו פתאום את דמותה מול ההר לחופו של נהר מול ירדן וגליו מול חרמון ושלגיו רק בכיה עוד נותר אבל הוא לא חזר אז רחש ירדן, סביב עוד נשמע על ים הדמעות שקראו לו בשמה כנרת, כנרת, כנרת הרוח לך שר, הרוח לך שר ושמש ירדן לך זוהרת שוקעת בהר, בהר Words/Music: Amos Etinger / Dov Seltzer Transliteration: Malka Tischler Translation: Malka Tischler Hebrew Lyrics: www.shiron.net Na'ara Ushma Kineret Description: Malka Tischler Recommended YouTube Player Settings Small Screens: 720p Full Screen: 720p
