AURORA AVISHAI COHEN LYRICS

TITLE : MORENIKA ( Ladino / Hebrew)

Morenika, they call me

my skin was pure white
from the fire of the summer sun
I am dark

Chorus:
Morenika
so very beautiful
in your eyes - a burning fire
my heart is all yours

Morenika , they call me

all those who go down to the sea
if again they call me
I will go with them again

Morenika, they call me

son to the ruling king
if he calls me again
I will follow him

TITLE: EL HATZIPOR ( Hebrew)

Welcome upon your return sweet bird,

From the warm countries to my window -
How my soul longs to hear your pleasant voice
in winter when you leave my dwelling.

Sing, tell, dear bird,

From a land of wondrous distance,
are the troubles and suffering great
there too in the warm and beautiful land?

Does the dew descend as pearls on Mount Hermon?

Does it come down and fall like tears?
And how is the Jordan and its clear waters?
And how are the mountains, the hills?

And my brothers that are working

And planting with tears will take
The harvest with Joy

My tears have dried up, all hope is fled

Yet there is no end to my grief,
Greetings upon your return, my dear bird,
Raise up your voice and sing!

TITLE: LEOLAM ( Hebrew)

Never will I know

Never will I know
( Repeated 4 times)

The secret of the soul

That is the secret of a man
Like the power of the sun
Or the depth of the sea

Never will I know

Never will I know

TITLE: WINTER SONG (English)

And she’s looking outside of her window

Thinking of who she could be
If she was’nt with him

May be she wants to be

With another
May be she wants to be

And will she ever know what her feelings are for him
Or will he learn to see, that she wants to be free

May be she wants to be

Ah Ah …..

She will not ever be

What she had wanted
Even if he will see
She will not be

It’s been so long

Since I saw you I know
But I often think of you though
And I want you to know
I loved you

And I want you to know

Don’t go I’ll miss you

Stay more I need you too
Before you go
Let me hold and kiss you

Cause I loved you so

Ah ………….

TITLE: ALON BASELA ( Hebrew)

I believe I’m an oak tree in the rock

Even if a storm will hit me.
I will keep standing
When I shed a tear I plant a Tree.

Sorrow is the soul

And I am nature

I believe in mankind
And in the sky
I exist in the ocean
And in the tree
As long as I live
I will remember
Happiness is the people
For better and ever

Life stand still
Thinking that we will not be together

TITLE: SHIR PREDA (Hebrew)

Now that she’s with another

I’m only left with the choice to not bother
I loved her so Oh I loved her
Though I’m not with her now she’s with another

Love is deceiving
It’s made me blind
All I wanted was her and just her
When she looked in my eyes
She made me forget who I am
And where I am going

From now on I’m not going to wait

I will go to the sea
I will look to the sun
Because her light in me has turned off
New love here I come

TITLE: Alfonsina Y El Mar ( Spanish)

By the soft sand that licks the sea

its small track does not return
and a single footpath of pain and silence reached
the deep water
and a single footpath of pure pain reached
the foam

God knows what distresses accompanied you

What old pains shut up your voice
So you lay down sung to sleep by the song
of the marine conches
The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea
the conch

You go away Alfonsina with your solitude

What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea.

Five little mermaids will take you

by paths of seaweed and coral
and fluorescent sea horses will dance
around at your side.
And the inhabitants of the water are going to swim soon at your side.

Lower the lamp a little more

Allow me to sleep, nanny in peace
and if he calls, don't tell him that I am,
Tell him that Alfonsina will not return
and if he calls, never tell him that I am,
say that I have gone away.

You go away Alfonsina with your solitude

What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea.

Nights, Nights, good nights are nights to fall in love in.

Oh, these nights.mother, they don’t come.

Tossing in my bed, like a fish in the sea.

My mother,
They don’t come,
Oh they don’t come.
