Arik Einstein - Hi Yoshva Bachalon

hi yusheva lachalon vesoreka searah

She sits by the window and braids her hair

beeyneychem hi perutza uveynay hi bara

In your eyes she's a harlot and in my eyes she is pure

hevu mar li mar libi hayom aley ra

Oh bitter for me bitter my heart today is troubled

im rechela eynena ani ana ba

If Rachel is not here where shall I go

po yesh laberiot veholchot hen rachil

Here people have hearts and they go gossiping

ach rechela li hi veanochi lerachel

But Rachel is mine and I am Rachel's

hevu mar li mar libi hayom aley ra

Oh bitter for me bitter my heart today is troubled

im rechela eynena ani ana ba

If Rachel is not here where shall I go

baerev ki etze el mishol hakama

At evening when I go out to the path of grain

verachel eyn imi eyn imi haneshama

And Rachel is not with me my soul is not with me

shibolim, givolim lirchela seu shelomi

Stalks of wheat, stems to Rachel carry my regards

veanu bi im teacher umatay bimkomi

And answer me if she is late and die in my place

hi yusheva lachalon vesoreka searah

She sits by the window and braids her hair

beeyneychem hi perutza uveynay hi bara

In your eyes she's a harlot and in my eyes she is pure

hevu mar li mar libi hayom aley ra

Oh bitter for me bitter my heart today is troubled

im rechela eynena ani ana ba

If Rachel is not here where shall I go

baerev ki etze el mishol hakama

At evening when I go out to the path of grain

verachel eyn imi eyn imi haneshama

And Rachel is not with me my soul is not with me

shibolim, givolim lirchela seu shelomi

Stalks of wheat, stems to Rachel carry my regards

veanu bi im teacher umatay bimkomi

And answer me if she is late and die in my place

hevu mar li mar libi hayom aley ra

Oh bitter for me bitter my heart today is troubled

im rechela eynena ani ana ba

If Rachel is not here where shall I go
