Until I Find a Place for Hashem
Aaron Razal's single has Israeli and Jewish tones, as well as an Irish bagpipe! This single portrays the longing and intense desire for the complete redemption.
With a unique rhythm and the use of Irish bagpipes, this song brings all Jews together. The Israeli rhythm catches your ear and you’ll be singing it nonstop!
The lyrics, written by Aharon and Efrat Razal, drew inspiration from the author of The Book of Psalms, David King. The song is based on Psalm 132:3-5.
LYRICS
אם אבוא לאוהל ביתי
אם אעלה על ערש יצועי
אם אתן שנת לעיני לעפעפי תנומה
עד אמצא מקום לה‘
ובלב עולה התפילה
עד מתי גולה וסורה!
שובי בת מלך אל עיר מלוכה
מתוך ההפיכה
אור גדול יבקע
שועלים טיפסו על ההר
איך היה נווה למדבר
גם ציפור בנתה ביתה
ובת ציון שנותרה
לבדה בשדה עזובה
ובלב עולה התפילה…
כי בחר ה’ בציון אוה למושב לו
פה אשב זאת מנוחתי
כי אוויתיה
ובלב עולה התפילה…
If I enter the tent of my home;
if I go upon the bed that is spread for me;
if I allow sleep to my eyes, slumber to my eyelids;
Before I find a place for Hashem
And a prayer rises up in the heart
For how long will there be exile and suffering
Return, daughter of the King, to the royal city
Amidst the upheaval
A great light will emerge
Foxes climbed the mountain
What an oasis in the desert!
A bird also built her home
And a remaining daughter of Zion
Is alone in a deserted field.
And a prayer rises up in the heart …
Because God chose Zion to settle it
I will sit here; this is my rest resting place
Because I desire her.
And a prayer rises up in the heart …
