Longing for Sarah
written by: Refaela Vardi
In our wanderings to a new land,
your sea blue eyes-
cool the burning heat of the roads.
We were wrapped in a veil of faith
without looking back,
and I hid your beauty from kings-with it
You were my wife, my sister,
wrapped in the light of God.
You preached, shared, loved,
And when you laughed-
You begot a nation.

בִּנְדוּדֵנוּ לְאֶרֶץ חֲדָשָׁה
יַם עֵינַיִךְ הַתְּכֻלּוֹת
צִנְּנוּ אֶת שְׁרַב הַדְּרָכִים
נִכְרַכְנוּ בִּצְעִיף אֱמוּנָה
מִבְּלִי לְהַבִּיט לְאָחוֹר
וְהֵלַטְתִּי בּוֹ יָפְיֵךְ מִפְּנֵי מְלָכִים
הָיִיתְ לִי רַעְיָה וְאָחוֹת
אֲפוּפָה בְּאוֹר שְּׁכִינָה
דָּרַשְׁתְּ , חָלַקְתְּ , אָהַבְתְּ
כְּשֶׁצָּחַקְתְּ
הִתְעַבַּרְתְּ
לְעָם
