In the fairy tales, somewhere in the mountains
Sat David the shepherd, with his herd
Without ministers, without kingdom
Only a little song for a crying girl
And another little song and a prayer to God
To guard the people of Israel
And another little song and a prayer to God
To guard Israel
In a grass oasis somewhere in the mountains
Ruled King David, getting old
He was left alone without a city, without family
Only a granddad king and a crying girl
And another little song and a prayer to God
To forgive the people of Israel
And another little song and a prayer to God
To forgive Israel
Without kings, without fairy tales
The song's grief is love
What is the poet left with
Only a little song and nothing else
And another little song and a prayer to God
To guard the people of Israel
And another little song and a prayer to God
To guard Israel
To guard Israel
