Chorus
My little sister, Nurit, has passed away,
And the world stood still — as her soul slipped away.
Nothing now feels whole or right,
No light remains around her bright,
Only memory holds her near,
Like a quiet prayer, sincere.
Verse 1
Nurit, my sister, you left at sixty years,
A cruel disease took you — with no room for tears.
A woman kind and true, to your husband, all the skies,
To your children, mother dear — with love that never dies.
Verse 2
You always gave your all, without a thought for gain,
You loved without a fence — through joy and even pain.
A sister full of grace, a heart that always beams,
You brought light and peace,
You were there through silent screams.
Chorus
My little sister, Nurit, has passed away,
And the world stood still — as her soul slipped away.
Nothing now feels whole or right,
No light remains around her bright,
Only memory holds her near,
Like a quiet prayer, sincere.
Verse 3
Your children carry songs you sang each morning’s start,
Soft kisses on their cheeks — like light and notes of heart.
Without you, colors fade, the canvas turns to gray,
But in our hearts you’ll always stay — a blessing here to stay.
Verse 4
Your soul is bound in life’s eternal chain,
In Heaven you shall rest — free of grief and pain.
Your memory shall light our way — a candle burning still,
Blessed be your name, dear Nurit — beyond all time and will.
Chorus
My little sister, Nurit, has passed away,
And the world stood still — as her soul slipped away.
Nothing now feels whole or right,
No light remains around her bright,
Only memory holds her near,
Like a quiet prayer, sincere.
