Lyrics
From Aaron Alpert's notes
קל אחד בראנו
ואמר חי אנו
כי לא יראני, כי לא יראני
האדם וחי
לבי, לבי ובשרי
לבי, לבי ובשרי
ירננו, ירננו
אל קל חי
נאנאנאנאנאנא
צמאה לך נפשי
נאנאנאנאנאנא
כמה לך בשרי
Kol echad baruni
Ve’omar chai ani
Ki lo yaruni, ki lo yaruni
Ha’adam ve’chai
Libi, libi ve’besari
Libi, libi ve’besari
Yeranu, yeranu
Al kol chai
Nananananana
Tzamea lach nafshi
Nananananana
Kama lach besari
Ve’omar chai ani
Ki lo yaruni, ki lo yaruni
Ha’adam ve’chai
Libi, libi ve’besari
Libi, libi ve’besari
Yeranu, yeranu
Al kol chai
Nananananana
Tzamea lach nafshi
Nananananana
Kama lach besari
One God created
By saying “live”Because we did not fear, because we did not fear
Man is alive and well
My heart, my heart and my flesh
My heart, my heart and my flesh
They will sing, they will sing
To the living God
Nananananana
You thirst for my soul
Nananananana
And how much for my flesh
By saying “live”Because we did not fear, because we did not fear
Man is alive and well
My heart, my heart and my flesh
My heart, my heart and my flesh
They will sing, they will sing
To the living God
Nananananana
You thirst for my soul
Nananananana
And how much for my flesh
