This is the official translation of the song. I would have translated Derekh Hamelekh as High Road, but that is another matter...

neutral Eynat : Whoever wrote that Hebrew is illiterate. Hirvuni has no bet, this tlalim has no tav. Derekh ha-Melekh=King's Road [cf. Camino Real in CA]. I haven't shot any messengers: if you think about it, I only know about tlalim because I've been to the URL

Yes, teh Hebrew is illiterate, but if you will check the URL, that is the song and that is the meaning. Don't shoot the messenger.
agree Mil-on Translations (Ilana Gillon) : Eynat, again using illiterate! The translation is correct.

to one's fill

from the previous answer I understand you are talking about the song that was published on the site. This word is misspeled. It should have been הירווני with a "vav". The English translation could also be better. The meaning was - drinking the morning dew to one's fill.
הירבוני = multiplied me (literaly translation)
The correct Hebrew text may be found at the site:
Peer comment(s):

neutral judithyf : The word, as you say, is misspelled and should be written with a vav. The proper translation would be: quenched my thirst

that is much better, I agree
disagree Eynat : Hirvuni is a verb; to one's fill is an adverb. Judith agrees with me that the website is written by an illiterate.
