Mashehu Shehani Lo Yachol

Something I Can't

by Assaf Amdursky

kara shehalachti lesham veratzti
It happened that I went there and ran
kara sheratziti lesham uvarachti
It happened that I wanted there and fled
chazara lamakom shemimenu hitchalti
Back to the place where I started
kara sheratziti aval ometz lo haya kol ma shehaya shayach
It happened that I wanted but there was no courage, everything that belonged
hitmotet nishbar nishpach kara shetaiti ratziti lemachol
Collapsed, broke, spilled, it happened that I was wrong, I wanted to forgive
limchok et hakol
To erase it all
lishkocha et hamar hagadol velislocha
To forget the great bitterness and to pardon
aval ze mashehu sheani lo yachol kol ma shehaya shayach
But that is something I cannot do, everything that belonged
hitmotet nishbar nishpach
Collapsed, broke, spilled
hitkavatzti venamog
I shrank and faded
bayadayim hechezakti
I held in my hands
lo heemanti shebarach
I couldn't believe it fled
rachok rachok kol ma shehaya kayam
Far, far, everything that existed
basheni tasass neelam
In a second, gone
sheata tzonecha mitalef.
As you plunge and faint.
