1. I am Planting
Music and Lyrics by
Miriam Brosseau & Alan Jay Sufrin
Here, in the earth that fashioned Eve
1
Here they planted for me
Here, where understanding grew
2
I’m planting for you
Up here an olive branch was seen
3
Here they planted for me
Under skies where colors flew
4
I’m planting for you
Ki heichi d’shatlei li avahatai (as my
ancestors planted for me)
Shatlei nami livra’i (so now I plant for
my children)
5
From here, a voice burned in the leaves
6
Here they planted for me
A call to lead our people through
7
I’m planting for you
Right here, Deborah came to teach
8
Here they planted for me
Beneath her tree they sought the truth
I’m planting for you
Ki heichi...
Shir hama’a lot (a song of ascents)
9
Someone dreamed the world for me
B’shuv adoshem (when the Lord
brought back)
Now I am dreaming it for you
Et shivat tzion (those that returned to
Zion)
Take the world, and dream anew
Hayinu k’cholmim, k’cholmim
(we were as dreamers, as dreamers)
Ki heichi... (x2)
