Lyrics (English translation):

The old village has mountain sentinels on the other side
And the olive grove is full of secrets
The howl of the jackal rises in the quiet echo
And oats dream in the fields

The child sleeps in the quiet house
Because shifts happened on his dream
The cypress above cringes
As a prayer for home and its well-being

At night, at night, in the whole village
We're on guard
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert

And here comes an hour when an eagle will come
And an enemy hand stretches out to our beloved ones
Wall, we are on the wall of the house
And all who touches them will lose

Everything is old, there are oats in the flour
The fruit overripens on the branches
We who sowed here in tears
Want to reap in peace and in joy

At night, at night, in the whole village
We're on guard
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert

And if on a day a prophetess from the field
Blesses our barn and granary
Here at night, when darkness emerges
Armed, we'll be on guard

Lest the fire should seize the edge of our mouth
For the sake of the trees we grew in pain
For the sake of our children
For all the pregnant women will bloom

At night, at night, in the whole village
We're on guard
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert
In the garden and over fruit, sheep and machine
The guard squad is alert
