Tears

by Eyal Golan

Copied!
peney ketifa sheraiti
A velvet face that I saw
roch utmimut shel purkan neurim
Softness and innocence of youth's bloom
becha lagaat ratziti
I wanted to touch you
velo hayu becha chayim
And there was no life in you
shimcha chakuk al haeven
Your name is engraved on the stone
rak ahava nishara li balev
Only love remained in my heart
at achshav began eden
You are now in paradise
veli nishar hakeev -
And I am left with the pain
amarta shehageshem yishtof et hademaot
You said the rain would wash away the tears
aval hageshem hifsik vehademaot mamshichot
But the rain has stopped and the tears continue
hen zolgot el hakever hacham
They trickle down to the warm grave
yordot bechal haolam.
Falling all over the world
milevadecha lo hoyta li
Beside you I had no other
af naara lo ahavti lifney
No girl did I love before you
emunim lecha shamarti
Faithful to you I remained
veeshmor lecha gam acharey
And I will keep faith with you after
peney ketifa bashamayim
A velvet face in the skies
li mechayechet mibeyn ananim
Smiling at me from among the clouds
at otzemet eynayim
You close your eyes
umitkase lecha betachrichim -
And wrap yourself in your shroud
amarta shehageshem yishtof et hademaot
You said the rain would wash away the tears
aval hageshem hifsik vehademaot mamshichot
But the rain has stopped and the tears continue
hen zolgot el hakever hacham
They trickle down to the warm grave
yordot bechal haolam.
Falling all over the world
