One Heart
Yaakov Shwekey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s the brother in you I've been looking for
Cuz′ I know we share family ties
And all the world keeps telling us
How you and I are really so alike
It's not about the language or geography
No connection to color shape or size
It's rooted deep in our history
It′s a spark that we carry inside

If we join as one today
We can build a better tomorrow

You and I have always shared one heart
We were never meant to be apart
My fellow Jew
We can make it happen
You and I have always shared one soul
Jews from every corner of the globe
And that′s our hope
Unity forever

We can make it happen
We can make it happen

חיפשתי את אחי שקרוב אלי
רציתי שנהיה חברים
אני אתה וכל העם הזה
אולי נחדש את הקשרים
אולי לא מדברים אותה שפה בכלל
הכובע והצבע לא דומים
כי אנחנו משפחה אחת
זה חיבור שקיים לעולמים

כי כולנו לב אחד
כאיש אחד בלב אחד

אם כולם נאהב פה זה את זה
את הגאולה וודאי נראה
וכבר נזכה לפגוש את המשיח
כי הגיע זמן להתאחד
אנחנו לא רוצים להיפרד
ונישאר עם אחד לנצח

You and I have always shared one heart
We were never meant to be apart
My fellow Jew
We can make it happen

אם כולם נאהב פה זה את זה
את הגאולה וודאי נראה
וכבר נזכה
לפגוש את המשיח

יודען פין די גאנצע וועלט
קומען זיך צוזאם אין איין געצעלט
דאס איז דער וועג
צו ברענגען די גאולה

Qu'on soit là, ou au bout de la Terre
On restera à jamais des frères
C′est notre Histoire
C'est notre prière

Siempre hemos tenido un corazón
Nunca separarnos sin razón




Mi hermano
Podemos hacerlo
