הבל הבלים (Havel Havalim)
Lyrics by Benjamin Hackman
To each man God gives His breath.
To each worm God gives a man.
No one halts a gust of wind.
Every breath, it blows as planned.
Mourn more, you’ll come to know:
If it can rain it can surely snow.
Ask for nothing,
Hold on to nothing,
And the Lord, He won’t take it away.
All you’ve built will be undone.
All you’ve earned will not be spent.
What you have beneath the sun
Is far less than you have dreamt.
And those whom you hold dear
In due time shall disappear.
Ask for nothing,
Hold on to nothing,
And the Lord, He won’t take it away.
You are a house of clay.
From the dust do not discern.
What you are you must obey.
To the earth you shall return.
You will not possess the wind.
All you are God will rescind.
Ask for nothing,
Hold on to nothing.
You came with nothing,
You’ll leave here with nothing.
You are nothing.
You’ve always been nothing.
And the Lord cannot take you away.
