Chorus:
Hey I’m a tree , a tall, tall tree,
I reach to the sky, and my roots go deep.
Ilan ani, gavoah gizi, Anfai l’marom, shorshai b’makom
אילן אני, גבוה גזעי, ענפי למרום, שורשי במקום.
My leaves give air, my flowers give fruit,
my branches give shade to keep you cool.
Chorus: Ilan ani, gavoah gizi, Anfai l’marom, shorshai b’makom
אילן אני, גבוה גזעי, ענפי למרום, שורשי במקום.
I’m home to the birds, I’m home to the bees,
and all of these friends, build their nests on me.
Chorus: Hey I’m a tree, a tall, tall tree,
I reach to the sky, and my roots go deep
When you hear my leaves, rustlin’ in the wind,
I’m talking to you, please listen
Chorus: Ilan ani, gavoah gizi, Anfai l’marom, shorshai b’makom
אילן אני, גבוה גזעי, ענפי למרום, שורשי במקום..
We give each other, the air we breathe,
yes I need you, and you need me.
Chorus:
Hey I’m a tree , a tall, tall tree,
I reach to the sky, and my roots go deep.
Ilan ani, gavoah gizi, Anfai l’marom, shorshai b’makom. Shorshei Shalom, shorshei Shalom, shorshai shalom.
אילן אני, גבוה גזעי, ענפי למרום, שורשי במקום. שורשי שלום, שורשי שלום, שורשיי שלום.
