Noa & the JSO - Boi Kala (Come O Bride) בואי כלה

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."

Kirvati kekirvat hayam,
Gazlu et shnati,
Nishmat apech nashvah min hayam,
Vatachdor meluchah, El beiti.
Vegalim bedachyam,
Olim bevichyam,
Limromei ahavati, Boi kala.
Beyare'ach adom mul hayam,
Mefakeh damech.
Beyare'ach adom mul hayam,
Dami vedamech.
Vegalim bedachyam,
Zo'akim bevichyam,
Et shmech, et shmech, et shmech,
Boi kala.
Eich esgor et chaloni,
Ukrovah hasufah ?
Eich esgor et chaloni,

Eich esgor et chaloni,
Vehayam kara ?
Eich esgor et chaloni,
Ve'at erah ?
Vehao'ach milev haleil,
Et shnati kara ?
Boi kala.
Translation by Noa:
The nearness of the sea and you
Obliterates all hopes of rest
Your salty breath has blown over the sea
To penetrate my breast
The rising of my love
Is like the waves at tide...
Come, my bride
In a red moon over sea
Your blood is burning
In a red moon I can see
Our blood is turning
The rising tide
Will call and cry
Your name, your name in yearning
Come, my bride
Come my bride...
How can I close the window
When the storm is near?
How can I close my window
When your feet are bare?
How can I close my window
When the ocean weeps
How can I, knowing you're
Awake somewhere...
The owl shattered my sleep
When in the night he cried,
Come, my bride
