Lyrics and Video
Einaiych
There must be another
Must be another way
עינייך, אחות / Einaich, achot
כל מה שלבי מבקש אומרות / Kol ma shelibi mevakesh omrot
עברנו עד כה / Avarnu ad ko
דרך ארוכה, דרך כה קשה יד ביד / Derech aruka, derech ko kasha yad beyad
והדמעות זולגות, זורמות לשווא / Vehadma’ot zolgot, zormot lashav
כאב ללא שם / Ke’ev lelo shem
אנחנו מחכות / Anachnu mechakot
רק ליום שיבוא אחרי / Rak layom sheyavo achrei
There must be another way
There must be another way
عينيك بتقول / Aynaki bit’ul
راح ييجي يوم وكل الخوف يزول / Rakh yiji yom wu’kul ilkhof yizul
بعينيك إصرار / B’aynaki israr
أنه عنا خيار / Inhu ana khayar
نكمل هالمسار / N’kamel halmasar
مهما طال / Mahma tal
لانه ما في عنوان وحيد للأحزان / Li’anhu ma fi anwan wakhid l’alakhzan
بنادي للمدى / B’nadi lalmada
للسما العنيدة / l’sama al’anida
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way
דרך ארוכה נעבור / Derech aruka na’avor
דרך כה קשה / Derech ko kasha
יחד אל האור / Yachad el ha’or
عينيك بتقول / Aynaki bit’ul
كل الخوف يزول / Kul ilkhof yizul
And when I cry, I cry for both of us
My pain has no name
And when I cry, I cry
To the merciless sky and say
There must be another way
והדמעות זולגות, זורמות לשווא / Vehadma’ot zolgot, zormot lashav
כאב ללא שם / Ke’ev lelo shem
אנחנו מחכות / Anachnu mechakot
רק ליום שיבוא אחרי / Rak layom sheyavo achrei
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way
English Translation
There Must Be Another Way
There must be another
Must be another way
Your eyes, sister
Say all that my heart desires
So far, we’ve gone
A long way, a very difficult way, hand in hand
And the tears fall, pour in vain
A pain with no name
We wait
Only for the next day to come
There must be another way
There must be another way
Your eyes say
A day will come and all fear will disappear
In your eyes a determination
That there is a possibility
To carry on the way
As long as it may take
For there is no single address for sorrow
I call out to the plains
To the stubborn heavens
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way
We will go a long way
A very difficult way
Together to the light
Your eyes say
All fear will disappear
And when I cry, I cry for both of us
My pain has no name
And when I cry, I cry
To the merciless sky and say
There must be another way
And the tears fall, pour in vain
A pain with no name
We wait
Only for the day to come
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way

I totally LLLOOOOOVVVVEEEE this song. Oh yeah, me too, I highly value the bilinguality of this entry. I’m so happy that “Einaich” ended up to represent Israel. I think it was a huge peaceful step forward, in contrast with Teapacks’s 2007 “Push the Button”.
I wish the whole world could follow suit & vote for tolerance, peace & mutual understanding. I hope all those capital-oriented politics & nasty politicians would go to hell & leave people in peace someday.
Even though I couldn’t make a single word of neither the Arabic nor the Hebrew part, but I instantly liked the song when I first heard it. Thanx to your translation, now I get the message even more clearly.
A big kiss from Persia.

Beautiful song, Deserved better than 16th, but the message was the most touching. To see a united Israel (Arab & Jew) onstage together can set an example to the world, that there are ways to peace

A touching song. And it’s women, mother-may-be, of course, who say they cry for one another. I still feel like crying when I hear it, every time.
