Ex disjecta membra
beatae memoriae
Salve veritate, pace tua,
Mater patriae, miserere.
Mater dolorosa, Mater dolorosa

Mater historiae, Mater, miserere.
Lux mundi
De profundis,
Tempore lex non scripta,
Miserere.
Ex concordia discors ,
Nil desperandum
Nihil obstat
Israel et Palestine
Deo volente,
Mater historaie, miserere..
Mater dolorosa, Mater dolorosa
Mater patriae, miserere, miserere,.
Mater historiae, Mater, miserere.

YESH OD ZMAN
Halev nishbar The heart is breaking
Ach lev amok notar But a deeper heart remains
Ve hoo od lo nishbar And it has not yet broken
Yesh od zman There is still time
Li ve lecha ki For you and for me
Yesh et lir-oot ve et la ahava There is still
a time for friendship and a time for love
Roman namog A romance dissipates
Ach yesh gadol mi-menoo But there is bigger than
it
She ya gi-ah ve yavo That will arrive and will come
Yesh od zman There is still time
Li ve lecha ki For you and for me
Yesh et lir-oot ve et la ahava There is still a time
for friendship and a time for love
Hataf nifgah Children get hurt
Ach yesh echad she yit-gaber But there is always
one that will overcome
Al kol ke ev oofegah ba olam Each pain and each affliction
in this world
Yesh od zman There is still time
Li ve lecha ki For you and for me
Yesh et lir-oot ve et la ahava There is still a time
for friendship and a time for love
Dma-ot zolgot Tears flow
Ve nis-chafot And are washed away
Ve nis-chafot And are washed away
Ach hadma-ot hen she tom-chot But it is they (the
tears) that soften
Ba nefila the fall . . . .
English Poem (Still Time) : Joe
Dolce Hebrew Translation: Ruth Blum
(English)
STILL TIME
Hearts are broken
Yet there's a deeper heart
in us that hasn't spoken,
There's still a time for you,
a time for me,
a time for friendship,
and a time for love.
Romance can die
Yet there's a greater love
That may come, by and by
There's still a time for you,
a time for me,
a time for friendship,
and a time for love.
Children get hurt
Yet there's a stronger child there
Than any pain in this world,
There's still a time for you,
a time for me,
a time for friendship,
and a time for love
Tears fall,
We get washed away
But the tears can help to break the fall . . . .
OMM EL HAZINA
Ya om el hazina, Ya Om el hazina
Ya om el dunia, Irhami, Irhami.
Ya om el tarikh, Ya Ommi, Irhami.
Min baa'yal-zikrayat Al-mookad'dassa
Al-moobaa'sara hoona wa hoonak
Hafizzy aala-el-hakika, bee radaaki,
Ya om el dunia, Irhami.
Inhadi min tahta azabaki, inhadi
Irjaii ila kawaneen al-kha'iir maktouba
Wa'rhami.
Min hal-haali el-taabani
la tastaslimi
Wala shai'ya-sa alaiki, wa'rhami
Hatta folostine wa Israel
Iza allah radi
Ya om el dunia, Irhami..
Sorrowful Mother
Sorrowful Mother, sorrowful Mother,
Mother of countries, have mercy, have mercy.
Mother of history, Mother, have mercy.
Out of the scattered remains
Of blessed memory,
Save the truth, with your consent,
Mother of countries, have mercy.
Light of the world, up from the depths of misery,
From the time of the unwritten common law,
Have mercy.
Out of discordant harmony,
Do not despair.
Nothing can stand in the way,
Palestine and Israel God willing,
Mother of history, have mercy
