chipasti ahava kol hachayim
I searched for love all my life
hiflagti al sefina nodedet
I sailed on a wandering ship
chatziti yabashot vegam yamim
I crossed continents and also seas
velo hoyta isha ohevet
And there was no woman who loved
binmal katan bachof shel portugal
In a small harbor on the coast of Portugal
al migdalor hi sham chiketa li
On a lighthouse she waited there for me
galey hayam heviu li mazal
The ocean waves brought me luck
chof mivtachim etzlah matzati
A safe shore I found with her
shuv, halayla ani ashuv
Again, tonight I will return
kemo parpar laperach
Like a butterfly to a flower
ani etzlah orecha
I am her guest
shuv, halayla ze chashuv
Again, tonight this is important
achshav ani yodea
Now I know
shematzati ahava.
That I have found love
el simtaot hakefar lokcha oti
Into the village alleyways she took me
omra li: "kan nichye lanetzach
She said to me: "Here we will live forever
haflagat kevar maspik lemaani
You have sailed enough for my sake
haya li baal velo orecha"
Be my husband and not a guest"
lemaanech hakol ahuvati
For you, everything, my love
et hasefina emkor achshav
I will sell the ship now
evne lecha migdalor shel ohavim
I'll build you a lighthouse of lovers
umisevivo chomot zahav
And around it walls of gold
shuv, halayla ani ashuv...
Again, tonight I will return...
