Ani hu etz me'od zaken usva yamim
ra'iti kvar ruchot azot ure'amim
atah aleh katan mitnoe'a
batu'ach be'atzmo, hakol yode'a
kach itcha tzeidah laderech, et nisyoni
al tezal'zel, ulai zeh kol mah sheyesh li
ki yesh yamim yafim hakol pore'ach
veyesh sha'ot kashot hakol bore'ach

Tach'zik chazak aleh katan sheli
ki lo tamid hakol bachutz bahir
veru'ach sa'ar vesufah karah
tiz'kor vetit'chazek ani itcha!
Tach'zik chazak aleh katan sheli.

Ve'lo tamid hakol nachon hakol muvan
chaim zeh lo shi'ur cheshbon zeh gam miv'chan
achshav aleh katan hakol ragu'a
ach merachok ulai anan magi'a
kach itcha tzeidah laderech, et birkati
chatzi hakos hi mele'ah tiz'kor tamid
uk'shehashemesh el hayam shoka'at
al tid'ag machar hi shuv zorachat!



 

Rough translation:

I am a tree, old in age, fulfilled in years
I have withstood strong winds, and thunder storms
You are a small, unstable leaf
Self-confident, know it all
Take with you, my life’s challenges
Don’t disregard them, maybe this all I have
There are beautiful days, everything is blooming
And there are difficult times, everything slipping away

Chorus:
Hold strong my little leaf
It is not always clear outside
Gale winds and tempest storms happen
Remember and be strengthened I am with you
Hold strong my little leaf.

And not always is everything alright, everything understood
Life is a test not just a life lesson
Now my little leaf, all is calm
Although from afar a cloud may reach
Take with you, my blessings
Always remember, the glass is half full
And when the sun goes down over the ocean
Don’t worry, tomorrow it will shine once again
Hold on my little leaf..
