Copied!
regaim shenira afor
Moments that seem gray
at shehisharti meachor
what I left behind
ani shochecha
I forget
lifamim sheba livkot
Sometimes when I feel like crying
laatzom velo lirot
to close my eyes and not see
ani borecha
I flee
el hayamim hachi yafim
To the most beautiful days
el simchat haneurim
to the joy of youth
shebizchutam
that on their account
ani porecha
I flourish
el hatikva shebachayim
To the hope in life
mehashochen bameromim
from the One who dwells on high
shebishmo
in whose name
ani tzorecha
I cry out
shehachayim hishtanu berega
That life changed in a moment
shehachalom nirdam hofia metziut
that the dream fell asleep and reality appeared
velifney sheani domea
and before I shed a tear
nizkar li berigey hashelemut, hashefiut
I recall the moments of wholeness, of sanity
regaim shenira chashuch
Moments that seem dark
shehakol nire hafuch
when everything seems inverted
ani shokea
I am sinking
levatim at shebalev
The doubts within the heart
et sheotam ani choshev
those that I think about
levatzea
to carry out
or sheyair li bachayim
A light that will illuminate my life
kemo elef meorim
like a thousand luminaries
shebetzilam
in whose shade
ani govea
I am dying
et hatikva shebachayim
The hope in life
mehashochen bameromim
from the One who dwells on high
shebekolo
in whose voice
ani shomea
I hear
shehachayim hishtanu berega
That life changed in a moment
shehachalom nirdam hofia metziut
that the dream fell asleep and reality appeared
velifney sheani domea
and before I shed a tear
nizkar li berigey hashelemut, hashefiut
I recall the moments of wholeness, of sanity
shehachayim hishtanu berega
That life changed in a moment
shehachalom nirdam hofia metziut
that the dream fell asleep and reality appeared
velifney sheani domea
and before I shed a tear
nizkar li berigey hashelemut, hashefiut
I recall the moments of wholeness, of sanity
regaim shenire afor...
