Steemit Beautiful Poems That Turned into Amazing Songs - including Translation - Today Idan Raichel

I really love this song and I appreciate the project of Idan Raichel.. Enjoy!

Be not afraid to fall in love
That the heart will break
Be not afraid to lose along the way

To get up every morning
And to go out into the world
And to try everything before it all ends

To search from whence we came
And in the end always to return to the beginning
To find yet more beauty in everything
And to dance until overcome by exhaustion
Or love

Of all the moments in time
To find one to hold onto
To say that we have arrived
Always to remember to stop for a moment
To give thanks for what we have, and from whence we came

To hug her at night
When she falls asleep
Then the whole world calms down
To breathe her in deeply
To know that always
I will be there for her
