Mama Rochel

[00:33.21] With the rising sun on her wedding day
[00:41.42] She raised her eyes to the heavens
[00:50.00] And she thanked Hashem for the man of truth
[00:58.63] With whom she would build a nation
[01:06.35] But when nighttime came
[01:11.00] Destiny betrayed
[01:15.52] The veil concealing another
[01:23.12] Yet a sister's shame
[01:27.25] Not her shattered dreams
[01:31.62] Took hold of her heart and her senses
[01:39.26] Mama Rochel, cry for us again
[01:43.60] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[01:47.89] If you raise your sweet voice now as then
[01:51.55] The day will come
[01:55.98] Mama Rochel, cry for us again
[01:59.89] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[02:04.85] בזכותך ושבו בנים לגבולם
[02:12.54] In a roadside grave she was laid to rest
[02:21.04] In solitude forever
[02:29.94] But her voice gave hope to the broken hearts
[02:37.84] Of her daughters and sons bound for exile
[02:46.08] When her plaintive cry
[02:50.14] Gained divine consent
[02:54.51] A challenge to her maker
[03:02.77] Can the mercy of mere flesh and blood
[03:11.62] Run deeper than Yours, our creator?
[03:19.02] Mama Rochel, cry for us again
[03:23.14] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[03:27.36] If you raise your sweet voice now as then
[03:31.47] The day will come
[03:35.09] Mama Rochel, cry for us again
[03:39.28] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[03:43.62] בזכותך ושבו בנים לגבולם
[03:52.56]
[04:13.12] Now your voice is still
[04:17.79] As you heed the call
[04:21.88] Of מיני קולך מבכי
[04:29.70] It's our Father's will, He who made us all
[04:38.10] Dare we ask of you to defy him
[04:46.36] Yet a frightened child
[04:50.23] Numb from pain and grief
[04:55.07] Remains forlorn and uncertain
[05:03.12] Clinging to the faith
[05:06.55] That it can be heard
[05:11.85] As it cries out to his mother
[05:21.09] Mama Mama vain noch amol
[05:25.07] Treren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl
[05:29.46] Beten fun Bashefer In Himmel, b'kol rom
[05:37.07] Mama Mama vain noch amol
[05:41.66] Tzeren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl
[05:45.72] Bi'zchuseich v'shavu vonim li'gvulom
[05:54.11] רחל אמינו שאי קולך
[05:58.15] שוב שפחי כמים דמעתך
[06:02.34] בכי נא על בנים אשר גלו ועל סבלם
[06:10.08] רחל אמינו שאי קולך
[06:14.95] שוב שפחי דמעה לפני קונך
[06:18.99] בזכותך ושבו בנים לגבולם
[06:27.52] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[06:35.88] If you raise your sweet voice now as then
[06:39.43] The day will come
[06:43.98] Mama Rochel, cry for us again
[06:47.75] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children
[06:52.33] בזכותך ושבו בנים לגבולם
[07:00.17]
