Je lèverai la tête : Shai Gabso

"Je lèverai la tête": Shai Gabso

Holekh ani ka‘et bemish‘ol hahoweh
keyeled haholekh lo le’iboud.
Kapot yadaï hen moushatot,
mevakshot et ha‘ezrah lehamshikh itakh et hamasa’.
Ouvatsdadim, haprahim keilou ibdou et zehoutam,
mehapsim ‘od qeren or sheta‘azor.
‘Od leguimah ktanah shel maïm mi’maayaneï hahokhmah
tavi lahem et hatiqwah.

Arim roshi, esa ‘einai el heharim bamerhaqim,
weqoli yishama‘ keze‘aqah, ketfilat ha’adam,
welibi yiqra : "me’aïn yavo ‘ezri ?"

‘Over ani ka‘et bein nofim hadashim
hatse‘adim hem na‘asim ko ‘itiim
"mah yesh sham she’ein po ?", sha’al oti ‘over
"Ma balev atah shomer ?"
qashish ha‘ir kshe‘al gabo mounah kol ‘avaro
mebit saviv oumehapes et ‘olamo.
Kshehahoweh kol-kakh qasheh

lo omar davar, arim roshi el hamahar

Arim roshi esa ‘einai el heharim bamerhaqim
weqoli yishama‘ keze‘aqah, ketfilat ha’adam
welibi yiqra : "me’aïn yavo ‘ezri ?"
