eych hazeman shuv mizdachel lo kemo tzav
How time crawls again like a tortoise
eych halayla shuv yored leat leat
How the night descends again slowly, slowly
eych hageshem shuv dofek lo al hagag
How the rain drums again on the roof
lo ichpat shuv lihyot levad, levad
I don't mind being alone again, alone
ken, hem shuv chozrim eleynu hayamim
Yes, they return to us again, the days
hayamim haarukim haatzuvim
The long, sad days
shuv eshkav levad bohe baananim
Again I'll lie alone staring at the clouds
bou chazara yamim tovim
Come back, good days
hashamayim mitkasim beyam tzevaim
The sky is covered in a sea of colors
vehashemesh metzayeret igulim
And the sun draws circles
haeynayim meirot kemo panasim
The eyes shine bright like lanterns
mishehu bachutz dorech al healim
Someone outside is stepping on the leaves
hemshech meever:
Continued bridge:
ken, hem shuv chozrim eleynu hayamim
Yes, they return to us again, the days
hayamim haarukim haatzuvim
The long, sad days
shuv eshkav levad bohe baananim
Again I'll lie alone staring at the clouds
bou chazara yamim tovim
Come back, good days
shuv olim tzafim otam hasipurim
Those same stories rise and float again
sheshamati keshehayiti od katan
That I heard when I was still young
akavish gadol tove kurim dakim
A giant spider weaves thin webs
mishehu sheyegaresh kevar et hatan
Someone please drive away the jackal
