Aleh Katan Aleh Katan

I want to thank you for the incredible messages over the last few weeks, asking why I haven't posted a Motzei Shabbos Melody. The reason is because we have been performing at simcha after simcha. It's been a wonderful and busy period and we are thrilled that the next few weeks continue in the same way. But I will try to post weekly "Hold tight my little leaf Because not everything is always bright outside In the wind of storm and cold storm Remember and be strong I am with you Hold on tight my little leaf" If the last year has taught us anything it's that we are vulnerable. And during that time the only thing to do is to turn to Hashem and daven. I love the words and the melody of tonight's Motzei Shabbos Melody, Aleh Katan and I hope that you do too. Please subscribe to my channel and let me know any requests you might have. Lyrics אני הוא עץ מאוד זקן ושבע ימים ראיתי כבר רוחות עזות ורעמים אתה עלה קטן מתנועע בטוח בעצמו, הכל יודע קח איתך צידה לדרך, את נסיוני אל תזלזל, אולי זה כל מה שיש לי כי יש ימים יפים הכל פורח ויש שעות קשות הכל בורח תחזיק חזק עלה קטן שלי כי לא תמיד הכל בחוץ בהיר ורוח סער וסופה קרה תזכור ותתחזק אני איתך! תחזיק חזק עלה קטן שלי. ולא תמיד הכל נכון הכל מובן חיים זה לא שיעור חשבון זה גם מבחן עכשיו עלה קטן הכל רגוע אך מרחוק אולי ענן מגיע קח איתך צידה לדרך את ברכתי חצי הכוס היא מלאה תזכור תמיד וכשהשמש אל הים שוקעת אל תדאג מחר היא שוב זורחת! תחזיק חזק עלה קטן שלי.. Translation I am an age-old tree, fulfilled in years, I have withstood strong winds, and thunder storms. You are a small, fragile leaf— A self-confident know-it-all. Take with you my life experiences— Don’t disregard them, these may be all I have to offer— There are beautiful days, with everything blooming And there will be difficult times, with everything dooming. Chorus: Hold strong, little leaf of mine, It is not always clear outside, Gale winds and tempest storms happen. Remember and be strong, I am with you, Hold strong my little leaf. Everything is not always the way it should be, everything clear and understood. Life is not an exercise in school, life is a long test. At this time, little leaf, everything is calm, Though from afar a dark cloud may arrive Take with you, my blessings. Always remember, the glass is half full. And when the sun goes down over the sea, Worry not, tomorrow it will shine brightly once again. Hold on my little leaf… Transliteration 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!
