It's lonely in the desert with a rifle in my hand,
Protector of my family, defender of the Land.
I can see the town of Hebron as I gaze across the sand,
And I hear the voice of Mother Rachel crying.
Like Jacob alone in the night,
I pray that our way will be right.
Comfort me Rachel, are we dreaming,
Can it be Rachel, Shalom is near?
Answer me Rachel, I'm tired of weeping,
Can it be Shalom is here?
Through all the years of fighting, and all the years of pain,
The victims of a thousand battles lie beneath this plain.
O' Rachel can you tell them that their hopes were not in vain,
And in this land their children will embrace as friends
Like Jacob alone in the night,
I pray that our way will be right.
Comfort me Rachel, are we dreaming,
Can it be Rachel, Shalom is near?
Answer me Rachel, I'm tired of weeping,
Can it be Shalom is here?
Kol b'Ramah nishma, n'hi v' chi tamrurim,
Rachel m'vakah al baneha.
