Halleluya
Lyrics: Yankele Galpaz
Music: Manny Gal
A man returns with his daily harvest
Modest and meager
And on his back troubles of sand
Are burdening him like a tower
And suddenly he sees before him
His daughter’s two eyes
And then he sings, and they are with him
Singing Halleluya
Halleluya, and this is the song
Arising from all the corners of the town
When a man and his daughter’s two eyes
Sing Halleluya
A man builds his buildings
From vapour and cards
Every day he works hard and labours
Every day they are shuffled
However facing the destruction of his cards
The sun rises above him
And he collects them
And sings Halleluya
Halleluya and this is the song
Arising from all the corners of the town
When the man collects all his cards
And sings Halleluya
My life is set out before the Lord
He knows my path
And all my songs are like prayers
Being sent into the distance
And when I reach the end of the path
I will close my life quietly
And a new young and living song
Will be sung Halleluya
Halleluya and this is the song
It will still rise throughout the town
And it is new and it is young and living
And sing Halleluya
