Lyrics - David Hofshtein

lyrics

S'hot haynt fun feld a frisher vint
Oyf heyse gasn zikh farklibn
Un nit gevust vu ayn, vu oys
Un shtil geblibn.

Fun tunklen hoys bin ikh aroys
Dem vint antkegn ongekumen –
Un s’hot der vint mikh shtil un lind
Arumgenumen.

Ikh hob tsekusht zikh mitn vint
Un on a vort gevor gevorn
Vos tut oyf felder zikh atsind –
Dort blit shoyn korn.

Es vet mir klingen haynt biz nakht
Der shtiler shal fun vaytn horn
Es blit shoyn korn.

Today from the field a fresh wind ascended onto hot streets
And didn’t know where was “in” and where was “out”
And calmly rested

I left a dull house, I came towards the wind,
And the wind quietly and gently embraced me

We kissed each other, the wind and I and without exchanging a word, we spoke
“What is happening in the fields now?”
“The rye is blossoming already”

It will ring in me today until night
The quiet sound of a distant horn,
The rye is blossoming already.
