THE SECRET- 8th Day- Composed by Bella and Nochum Levitan, Lyrics by Bella (Rotenberg) Levitan- Journeys 5
VERSE 1:
My grandmother whispered a secret to me
and placed something soft in my hands.
I crafted this scarf for you, my dear child
my love for you’s in every strand.
But setting each stitch and knitting the rows
with patterns to form a design.
Takes passion and skill, the will to create
and hours and hours of time.
CHORUS:
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
בְּרִנָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּה
,בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
אווווווווווווווו
בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
VERSE 2:
My grandfather whispered a secret to me
and showed me his old violin.
As you would with a feather, pick up the bow
place the instrument under your chin.
If you wish to bring forth its heavenly sound
play music both haunting and sweet,
Be ready to give your heart and your soul
and the crowd will rise up on its feet.
CHORUS:
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
בְּרִנָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּה
,בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
אווווווווווווווו
בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
My Rebbe whispered a secret to me
as he looked deep in my eyes.
Whenever you learn always search for the truth
and don’t ever compromise.
If you roll up your sleeves and put in the time –
review it again and again,
I promise you after the sweat and the tears
you’ll be dancing with joy in the end.
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
With summer approaching, my kids said to me –
There’s so little to do in the yard.
Can we have a treehouse? Just order and click.
You see Daddy, it won’t be hard.
Let’s do it ourselves, we have enough wood –
now go get my tools from the drawer.
We’ll measure and plan, then we’ll saw and we’ll bang –
and tomorrow we’ll do it once more.
CHORUS:
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
בְּרִנָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּ-נָּה
,בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
הַזֹּרְעִים, בְּדִמְעָה
,בְּרִנָּה בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
אווווווווווווווו
בְּרִנָּה יִקְצֹרוּ
