This is Die Drei Kantoren’s second CD, consisting of Chazzanut, Yiddish and Chasidic melodies, Israeli songs, and Sepharadic piyutim – all in original arrangements. We are happy to feature some wonderful guest artists who made this second album even richer in sound and inspiration. Two of the pieces in this album – Pitchu Li and Elu Dvarim – were composed especially for us by our very own Ido Ben-Gal and Assaf Levitin. Our dozens of concerts in Jewish communities and in festivals in Germany and abroad motivated us to get back into the recording studio as quickly as possible. For this we are very thankful.

The road is very long,
The road is long and magestic.
Everyone walks the road until the end,
Everyone walks it until its bitter end.
But I walk alone,
Halleluja! Praise the Lord!
And I sing the songs of a wandering bard,
Halleluja! Praise the Lord!
One man is looking for gold,
Looking for precious gold,
Another finds a girl to love,
A girl to love him.
Refrain: But I walk alone…
I am not looking for a house with a field,
I am not looking for a house with a green field.
All I want is your voice that answers mine,
All I want is that you sing and laugh with me.
My voice shall sing, but you will echo with it,
Halleluja! Praise the Lord!
Woe is the song that has no echo,
Halleluja! Praise the Lord!
הדרך ארוכה היא ורבה, רבה,
הדרך ארוכה היא ורבת הדר.
כולם הולכים בדרך עד סופה, סופה,
כולם הולכים בדרך עד סופה המר.
אבל אני, אבל אני, לבד לבד צועד,
הללו, הללויה, הללו!
ושר אני ושר אני, שירי זמר נודד,
הללו, הללויה, הללו!
אחד נשא פניו אל הזהב, זהב,
אחד נשא פניו אל הזהב הטוב.
אחר מצא ילדונת שתאהב, תאהב,
אחר מצא ילדונת שתאהב אותו.
פזמון: אבל אני, אבל אני, לבד לבד צועד...
איני רוצה לי בית עם שדה, שדה,
איני רוצה לי בית עם שדה ירוק.
כי כל שכרי קולכם אשר עונה, עונה,
כי כל שכרי קולכם אשר עונה בשחוק.
קולי ישיר, קולי ישיר, אבל אתם לו הד,
הללו, הללויה, הללו!
אבוי לשיר, אבוי לשיר אם אין לו, אין לו הד,
הללו, הללויה, הללו!
