yesh lah eynayim kemo sheney sifley kafe turki
She has eyes like two cups of Turkish coffee
yesh lah motnayim kemo legitara italkit
She has a waist like an Italian guitar
yesh lah sear kemo keter yesh lah et kol hayeter
She has hair like a crown and she has all the rest
ach mitbarer beichur sheyesh lah gam bachur
But it turns out, belatedly, she also has a boyfriend
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose
What does he do for her, what does he do
keshe kesheeynayv hu rak nose
When his gaze alone is what she carries
nemasa hi kemo chema al hamachavat?
Does she melt like butter on the pan?
ma yesh lo sheeyn lanu
What does he have that we don't
ma hu bichlal choshev atzmo kol kach
What does he even think of himself so much
ma hu ose bishvil
What does he do so that
shelevavah rak elayv yovil
Her heart leads only to him
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose?
What does he do for her, what does he do?
eyn lo shum toar
He has no academic title
veeyn lo perayvet mishum ma
And somehow he has no privacy
eyn lo miktzoa eyn lo gam mil al haneshama
He has no profession and no good word for the soul
eyn lo atid batucha rak tzavaron patucha
He has no secure future, just an open collar
ach mi tzarich peruta kesheyesh lo rak otah
But who needs a penny when he has only her
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose
What does he do for her, what does he do
kesheeych sherak hu menase
When any way he only tries
lehatchil ata hi kevar shelo mid?
To start with her, she's already his right away?
uchshebaim anachnu
And when we come
im kavanot tovot ze lo moil
With good intentions it doesn't help
eyze mazal nivze
What rotten luck
eych ze holech lo min kelaf kaze
How does it work out for him with a card like that
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose?
What does he do for her, what does he do?
umidey erev keshehem holchim el hayarkon
And every evening when they walk to the Yarkon
anu beli heref kan metzitzim min habalkon
We without pause peek here from the balcony
uvacharok shinayim mitbonnim bishnayim
And with gritted teeth we watch the two of them
ach kemo tamid eyze kir
But as always some wall
o eyze etz mastir
Or some tree hides it
shemastir shemastir shemastir shemastir
Hiding, hiding, hiding, hiding
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose
What does he do for her, what does he do
im min partzuf tamim kemo se?
With such an innocent face like a lamb?
meyla im haya beemet kaze az tov
Fine if he were really like that then okay
ela shehaemet hi
But the truth is
sheze bichlal lo kach vechutz mize
That it's not like that at all and besides
ma shemargiz po od ze shebeetzem barur meod
What's even more annoying here is that actually it's very clear
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose
What does he do for her, what does he do
ma hu ose lah ma hu ose
What does he do for her, what does he do
ma hu ose ma hu ose
What does he do, what does he do
