Noa & the JSO - Yalda Im Tzamot ילדה עם צמות

Almost twenty years after Rachel and Leah (1993), Achinoam Nini returns to the Israel Festival, together with her musical partner Gil Dor, in a premier performance marking the release of her exciting new album, based entirely on renditions of Israeli classics. The performance includes Bereshit, Yesh ey-sham, Makom le-de'aga, Zecharia Rachel, Hayu leilot and many other well-known titles.

The arranger and composer Ilan Mochiach is the musical director of the concert, which is accompanied by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

Achinoam Nini, better known by her international stage name Noa, is one of the best-known Israeli singers in the world. Nini has collaborated and performed with leading names, including Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola, Annie Lennox, Mercedes Sosa, and many others. She also gained fame when she performed before Pope John Paul II.
Achinoam Nini comments: "For many years, I only performed Israeli 'classics' very rarely. Now, after eight original albums and countless performances in Israel and around the world, I feel happy, confident, and ready to take on this new challenge. Gil Dor and I have chosen some of the beautiful and moving songs that have influenced us over the course of our own lives."

You can find this song on Noa's album "Eretz Shir" released in March 2011 by More Management (Israel)

Translated by Noa

I remember years ago
A little girl with her laughter
From high up on on your shoulders you would tell
Me stories,
And sing to me softly

Once I had a little girl
With two braids swinging on her back
When she undid her thick black braids
My heart would also come undone

In the meadow, I unraveled them
Friendly old moon smiled down on us
But in the fall, shed shed them all
To the autumn of our souls

In the meadow, I unraveled them
Friendly old moon smiled down on us

Once I had a little girl
With two braids swinging on her back
She has gone, this little girl
And taken spring away with her

Now that same girl stands before you
Long black hair caped over her shoulders
Stage lights shine
And in my mind
I send a song out to you

Once I had a little girl
With two braids swinging on her back
But autumns past
And she will laugh
Fall is all but gone away
A lovely spring
Begins
Today
