Zemer Nugeh - HaTishma Koli
זֶמֶר נוּגֶה - הֲתִשְׁמַע קוֹלִי




A Sad Melody - Will you Hear my Voice is a 1967 Israeli song by Rachel Bluwstein and music by Shmulik Kraus. The song was first performed by Hachalonot Hag'vohim - "The High Windows" group - Arik Einstein, Shmulik Kraus & Josie Katz.

On January 18, 2003, the song "Zemer Nugeh" was the first Hebrew song ever played in space. Colonel Ilan Ramon was aboard the space shuttle Columbia at the time, and his wife, Rona Ramon, selected it as the song to wake up the astronauts that day. After the Columbia space shuttle disaster, the song has been played many times on Israeli radio in memory of Astronaut Ilan Ramon.

Hebrew Lyrics to Zemer Nugeh


זֶמֶר נוּגֶה - הֲתִשְׁמַע קוֹלִי

הֲתִשְׁמַע קוֹלִי, רְחוֹקִי שֶׁלִּי,
הֲתִשְׁמַע קוֹלִי, בַּאֲשֶׁר הִנְּךָ -
קוֹל קוֹרֵא בְּעֹז, קוֹל בּוֹכֶה בִּדְמִי
וּמֵעַל לַזְּמַן מְצַוֶּה בְּרָכָה?

תֵּבֵל זוֹ רַבָּה וּדְרָכִים בָּה רָב.
נִפְגָּשׁוֹת לְדַק, נִפְרָדוֹת לָעַד.
מְבַקֵּשׁ אָדָם, אַךְ כּוֹשְׁלוֹת רַגְלָיו,
לֹא יוּכַל לִמְצֹא אֶת אֲשֶׁר אָבַד.

אַחֲרוֹן יָמַי כְּבָר קָרוֹב אוּלַי,
כְּבָר קָרוֹב הַיּוֹם שֶׁל דִּמְעוֹת פְּרִידָה,
אֲחַכֶּה לְךָ עַד יִכְבּוּ חַיַּי,
כְּחַכּוֹת רָחֵל לְדוֹדָהּ.






English Transliteration of Zemer Nugeh

Zemer Nugeh - Hatishmah Koli

Hatishmah koli
rechoki sheli
Hatishmah koli
ba'asher hincha

Kol koreh be'oz
kol koreh bidmi
Ume'al hazman
metzaveh bracha

Tevel zo raba
udrachim ba rav
Nifgashim ledak
nifradot la'ad
Mevakesh adam
ach koshlot raglav
Lo yuchal limtzo
et asher avad

Acharon yamai
ma karov ulai
Ma karov hayom
shel dim'ot preda
Achakeh lecha
ad yichbu chayai
Kechakot rachel ledoda




English translation of Zemer Nugeh


A Sad Melody - Will You Hear My Voice

Will you hear my voice my far-away one
Will you hear my voice where-ever you are
A voice is calling with strength,
A voice is crying softly,
Over time it sends a blessing?

This world is so big and has many roads
They meet for a moment, separate forever.
A man searches, but his legs fail,
He can never find that which he has lost.

The last of my days is already close perhaps
Already is near the day of goodbye tears.
I will wait for you until my life will end,
Like Rachel's wait for her lover.
