הַכֹּתֶל עָמְדָה נַעֲרָה מוּל הַכֹּתֶל שְׂפָתַיִם קֵרְבָה וְסַנְטֵר. אָמְרָה לִי: "תְּקִיעוֹת הַשּׁוֹפָר חֲזָקוֹת הֵן, אֲבָל הַשְּׁתִיקָה עוֹד יוֹתֵר". אָמְרָה לִי: "צִיּוֹן, הַר הַבַּיִת", שָׁתְקָה לִי: הַגְמוּל וְהַזְכוּת. וּמַה שֶׁזָּהַר עַל מִצְחָהּ בֵּין עַרְבַּיִים הָיָה אַרְגָּמָן שֶׁל מַלְכוּת. הַכֹּתֶל - אֵזוֹב וַעֲצֶבֶת, הַכֹּתֶל - עוֹפֶרֶת וָדָם. יֵשׁ אֲנָשִׁים עִם לֵב שֶׁל אֶבֶן, יֵשׁ אֲבָנִים עִם לֵב אָדָם. עָמַד הַצַּנְחָן מוּל הַכֹּתֶל, מִכָּל מַחְלַקְתּוֹ רַק אֶחָד אַמַר לִי: "לַמָּוֶת אֵין דְּמוּת, אַךְ יֵשׁ קֹטֶר- תִּשְׁעָה מִילִימֶטֶר בִּלְבַד" אָמַר לִי: "אֵינֶנִּי דּוֹמֵעַ" וְשָׁב לְהַשְׁפִּיל מַבָּטִים "אַךְ סַבָּא שֶׁלִּי, אֱלֹהִים הַיּוֹדֵעַ, קָבוּר כָּאן, בְּהַר הַזֵּיתִים". הַכֹּתֶל - אֵזוֹב וַעֲצֶבֶת, הַכֹּתֶל - עוֹפֶרֶת וָדָם. יֵשׁ אֲנָשִׁים עִם לֵב שֶׁל אֶבֶן, יֵשׁ אֲבָנִים עִם לֵב אָדָם. עָמְדָה בִּשְׁחוֹרִים מוּל הַכֹּתֶל אִמּוֹ שֶׁל אֶחָד מִן הַחִי"ר. אָמְרָה לִי: "עֵינֵי נַעֲרִי הַדּוֹלְקוֹת הֵן וְלֹא הַנֵּרוֹת שֶׁבַּקִּיר". אָמְרָה לִי: "אֵינֶנִּי רוֹשֶׁמֶת שׁוּם פֶּתֶק לִטְמוֹן בֵּין סְדָקָיו, כִּי מַה שֶׁנָּתַתִּי לַכֹּתֶל רַק אֶמֶשׁ גָּדוֹל מִמִּלִּים וּמִכְּתָב". הַכֹּתֶל - אֵזוֹב וַעֲצֶבֶת, הַכֹּתֶל - עוֹפֶרֶת וָדָם. יֵשׁ אֲנָשִׁים עִם לֵב שֶׁל אֶבֶן, יֵשׁ אֲבָנִים עִם לֵב אָדָם. |

Hakotel Amda na'ara mul hakotel S'fatayim keirva v'santeir. Amra li, t'kiyot hashofar chazakot hein Aval hash'tika od yoteir. Amra li, Tziyon, Har Habayit Shatka li, hag'mul v'hazchut. Uma shezahar al mitzcha ben arbayim Haya argaman shel malchut. Hakotel - eizov v'atzevet Hakotel - oferet vadam Yesh anashim im lev shel even. Yesh avanim im lev adam. Amad hatzanchan mul hakotel Mikawl maklachto, rak echad Amar li, lamavet ein dmut Ach yesh koter - Rak tish'a millimeter bilvad. Amar li, eineni domei'a V'shav v'hishpil mabatim Ach saba sheli, Elohim hayodei'a, Kavur kan b'Har Hazeitim. Hakotel - eizov v'atzevet Hakotel - oferet vadam Yesh anashim im lev shel even. Yesh avanim im lev adam. Amda bish'chorim mul hakotel Imo shel echad min hachir Amra li, einav na'ari hadolkot hein V'lo haneirot shebakir. Amra li, eineni roshemet Shum petek litmon ben s'dakav Ki ma shenatati lakotel rak emesh Gadol mimilim umik'tav. |

The Western Wall A girl stood facing the Kotel She drew her lips and chin close to it. She said to me: "The shofar's blasts are strong But the silence is even stronger". She told me: "Zion, the Temple Mount She was silent, about the reward and the right. And what shone on her forehead at evening Was the purple of royalty. The kotel, moss and sadness. The kotel, lead and blood. There are people with a heart of stone, There are stones with a human heart. The paratrooper stood at the Kotel, Of his whole division - the only one. He told me: "that death has no image But it has a diameter - Nine millimeters only". He told me: "I'm not shedding tears" And again lowered his glance. "But my grandfather, God knows, Is buried here, on Har Hazeitim". The Kotel, moss and sadness. The Kotel, lead and blood. There are people with a heart of stone, There are stones with a human heart. She stood, dressed in black, at the kotel. The mother of one of the infantry soldiers. She told me: "The eyes of my son that are shining And not the candles on the wall". She told me: "I'm not writing Any note to hide between the cracks, Because what I gave to the Kotel only last night Is greater than any words or writing". The Kotel, moss and sadness. The Kotel, lead and blood. There are people with a heart of stone, There are stones with a human heart. |
