So, this is what I came up with. Patience while I go out of the imamother.com website, save the other song and then come back to paste it as well. Again, thanks to all the mothers who contributed.

Looking for a Way
Singer: Ofra Haza Lyrics: Kobi Levy
Music: Amir Frohlich English Translation: Hedy Weiss

Always with you, I feel my life’s outside,
Like roads closed off from passers’ view.
But in your hush, all your unspoken words
Tell me that maybe that’s all through.

I am looking for
A path that’s paved with tender words —
Simplicity.
And then without touching,
We’ll learn to live together,
Everlastingly.

It’s so like you: The song’s not over yet.
You are inside; I’m waiting, though.
Only your voice is saying not a thing.
You’re wrapped in silence head to toe.

I am looking for…

Like a small lost girl
With no song in the world,
ʼTil she finds her place,
Silence that’s between us
Will join the two who’ve been us
Throughout time and space.

Maybe tomorrow,
We both will learn to change.
How different everything will seem!
Maybe tomorrow,
We’ll learn to be built up,
And the story’ll have a whole new theme.

I am looking for…
Everlastingly….
Everlastingly….
Everlastingly….
Everlastingly.

The Street Poet
Singer: Ofra Haza
Lyrics: Moshe Ben Shaul
Music: Amir Frohlich
English Translation: Hedy Weiss

You ate your crumbs of bread some hours ago.
You dip your thirst into the sun’s bright light,
A sun whose taste just you can ever know.
Yet your heart’s as thirsty as last night.
You’ve had your first debate,
And your last song you’ve played.
But it was all in vain…
So take from me, now, so take from me
This song I offer you right now…
Take my song, you poet of the street.
Just keep it in your mind for always.
Take it in bad times, take it in the sweet,
Because it’s with you, part of you,
For all your days.

You went to work when daylight broke,
And in that early light you washed your feet.
And yet your day was just as black as smoke,
And gave you blindness so complete.
On roads that none can find,
Whose end can’t reach your mind,
You step and pace in vain…
So take from me, now, so take from me
This song I offer you right now…
Take my song, you poet of the street.
Just keep it in your mind for always.
Take it in bad times, take it in the sweet,
Because it’s with you, part of you,
For all your days.

You’ve searched through people’s hands
For many days,
Hoping that perhaps you’ll find your own.
But they wandered off down alleyways,
And there they wrote, without you and alone,
Songs without any lines,
Drawings with no shape or form,
Mute notes and tones in vain…
So take from me, now, so take from me
This song I offer you right now…
Take my song, you poet of the street.
Just keep it in your mind for always.
Take it in bad times, take it in the sweet,
Because it’s with you, part of you,
For all your days… For all your days…
For all your days… For all your days.[/font]
