My heart is sick... My heart is sick with love of my state, My blood – poisoned since my enemy I hate. Always I love – I hate: Hate from love does not separate; And forever will it in me dwell (Even when my soul has met its fate): Strong as death is love of state; Hate of enemy – stronger still. Only one solution is there: victory! Enemy vanquished – vanquished is my hate; Enemy destroyed – free will be my state; Enemy destroyed – G-d will dwell in Zion! With G-d or with devil a pact I will sign Of life and death. Time to fight! Written by 'Yair', 1934. Translated by Shifra Shomron, Sivan 5765 (June 2005). home page previous next |
