Eli, Eli

Today's post is for India photographer extraordinaire, elishams, and for everyone/anyone, really.
I love both the lyrics and the melody of this Hebrew song, Eli, Eli. It was written by Hana Senesh.


Eli, Eli (Halicha L'Kesariya)

Eli, Eli, shelo yigamer l'olam
ha-chol v'hayam, rish-rush
shel ha-mayim
B-rak hasha mayim t'filat ha-adam

Ha-chol v'hayam rish-rush
shel ha-mayim
b'rak hasha mayim t'filat ha-adam

O, Lord my God,
I pray that these may never end:
The sand and the sea
the rush of the waters
the thrash of the heavens,
the prayer of the heart

The sand and the sea
the rush of the waters
the thresh of the heavens,
the prayer of the heart.
