daniel kahn & the painted bird - dumay! lyrics

veyomus ki yekhye
dunay, dunay, dunay
vaysaper maysey ko
dunay, dunay, dunay

ne khochu umirat’, khochu ya zhit’
dunay, dunay, dunay
iskat’ i borot’sya, tvorit’ i lyubit’
dumay dumay dumay

hob ikh mir in harts a kholem
heyb ikh oyf a fon fun sholem
ober in mayn kholem shteyt a moyer
ful mit payn un ful mit troyer
af der moyer shteyt a zelner
hinter im di grine felder
me’ hot geboyt tsufile grenetsn
afn land un in di mentshn

mir vein di grenetsn iberk+men
nor ven sine iz avekgenumen
vemen zol dos land gehеrn?
tsi folk fun levone tsi folk fun shtern?

kеyner vet undz frayhayt gebn
me’ darf nokh zi aleyn zikh shtrebn
zayn a fremder iz mayn shtand
s’iz gules do in undzer land

i carry in my heart a dream / a flag of peace & a land redeemed
but in my dream a wall of wire / stone & iron forged in fire
on the wall a soldier stands / keeps us out of our own land
borders tear us all apart / on the ground & in the heart
while we all must learn to conquer hate, / what’s a nation without a state?
the land is holy, but for whom? / god of the star or the crescent moon?
no one freely gives up power / we alone can take what’s ours
without freedom, without land / here in exile we do stand
without justice, without peace / just a dream become a beast
where will exile draw the line? / in israel or palestine?
nisht keyn tsedek, nisht keyn sholem
nor a kholem gevorn a golem
voser folk on a medina?
say yisroel say palestina
