From the recording Orijinal (En Bivo)
First recorded on Together/Endjuntos (2017)
Although this song was inspired by Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, I hoped it would feel less like a holiday song than a simple wish we might offer one another at any new beginning.
Its images come from familiar Jewish traditions—honey, apples, the shofar, the Book of Life—but together they form something deeply universal. I wanted the music to carry that same warm optimism whenever it's sung, whether around a holiday table or at the start of an ordinary day.
Lyrics
May your year be sweet,
Komo la miel. (Like the honey)
May you hear the shofar,
Ke te desperte el
(And it awakens you)
Anyada buena,
Dulse i alegre.
Seyas bendicho
Seyas kontente.
(A good year,
Sweet and happy.
May you be blessed,
May you be content.)
May your vision bear fruit
Komo una mansana (Like an apple)
May your soul find peace
I grande alegria (And much happiness)
May your heart be filled
Por la famiya (By family)
May you start a new page
En el livro de la vida (In the book of life)
