Abie Rotenberg - Mama Rochel lyrics

With the rising sun on her wedding day She raised her eyes to the heavens And she thanked Hashem for the man of truth With whom she would build a nation But with nightfall came destiny betrayed The veil concealing another Yet her sister's shame, not her shattered dreams Took hold of her heart and her senses Mama Rochel cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come Mama Rochel cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? Bi'zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom In a roadside grave she was laid to rest In solitude, forever But her voice gave hope to the broken hearts Of her daughters and sons bound for exile When her plaintive cry gained divine consent A challenge to her Maker Can the mercy of mere flesh and blood Run deeper then Yours, our Creator? Mama Rochel cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come Mama Rochel cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? Bi'zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom Now your voice is still as you heed the call Of m'ni kolaich mi'bechi It's our Father's will, He who made us all Dare we ask of you to defy Him? Yet a frightened child, numb from pain and grief Remains forlorn and uncertain Clinging to the faith that it can be heard As it cries out to its mother Mama Mama vain nochamol Treren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl Beten fun Bashefer In Himmel, b'kol rom Mama Mama vain nochamol Treren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl Bi'zchuseich v'shavu vonim li'gvulom Rochel Imeinu s'ee kolaich Shuv shifchi kamayim dimataich B'chim nah al banim asher galu v'al sivlam Rochel Imeinu s'ee kolaich Shuv shifchi dimah lifnei Konaich Bi'zchuseich v'shavu vonim li'gvulom Mama Rochel cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come Mama Mama cry for us again Won't you shed a tear for your dear children? Bi'zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom Bi'zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig'vulom
