JEWS OF SPAIN

Translation into English

Of Ben Reuven's song

"Judios de Espana"

Jews of Spain

Five hundred years ago

They were expelled

By the inhuman decree

Of Ferdinand and Isabella.

From this land so beloved

Which they so ennobled

With their genius and labors

With their songs and sufferings

They were uprooted

Jews of Spain

Poor nation wrenched

From its  cities and homes

From its synagogues and neighborhoods

In the year 1492.

Traversing the world

With  the glorious treasure

Of its tradition and language

In the course of the centuries

They were not lost.

Inscribed forever

In letters of gold

The rabbis and thinkers

The poets and doctors

The commanders and writers

Of the Golden Age.

How their names resonate

So happily

Maimonides, Ibn  Gabirol, Yehuda Halevy

Don Isaac Abarbanel, Shmuel Hanagid

And so many illustrious flowers

Of the Sephardi garden.

Today, in 1992

The Jews returning

Sephardis to Spain

Celebrating, remembering

Reconciling, revoking

The barbaric decree

Of 500 years ago.

Jews of Spain,

From Seville, from Toledo,

From Madrid, from Barcelona

From Segovia and Valencia,

From Burgos and Salamanca

Cordoba and Granada

They were expelled.

On the ship of their faith

Through so many countries passing

Navigating on the ocean of the centuries

With the help of their G-d

The reached the Holy Land

Of their state of Israele

The Jews of Spain…
