| Hebrew | English |
|---|---|
|
כשאני נתקל בצומת, אני מתפלל
שאבחר בדרך נכונה. |
When I encounter a crossroads, I pray
To choose a correct path. |
|
כשאני בוחר בדרך, אני מתפלל
שהיא תוביל אותי למקום נכון. |
When I choose a path, I pray
It will lead me to a correct place. |
|
כשאני מגיע לסוף דרך, אני מתפלל
שלא יהיה סוף לדרך. |
When I reach a path’s end, I pray
The path will have no end. |
