And they finish turning off the lights in the building

In the darkened shop there remains

An amazing group of dolls and figurines

Dolls and figurines that fill the shop
bobi mischak uvubot al chut
Play dolls and dolls on a string
bobi chalal uvubot mizeman
Space dolls and dolls from long ago

And also beautiful Barbie, of course
lifamim ani kabay lifamim ani shoter
Sometimes I am a firefighter, sometimes I am a policeman

Or a doctor or an astronaut or something else

I am the doll who falls in love with dolls and gets excited

My beautiful doll, you I love

When the toy shop wakes up
viladim magiim mikarov, merachok
And children arrive from near and far
kol buba limkomah chozeret
Each doll returns to its place
vechulam az chozrim lechayech velishtok
And they all return to smiling and to silence
