im ani veat hayinu noladim bag'ungel
If you and I had been born in the jungle
bemakom shei efshar limtzo oto begugel
In a place you can't find on Google
pashut mevudadim mehaolam
Simply cut off from the world
amok betoch hayearot shel afrika
Deep in the forests of Africa
im kemo tzayad hayu lochdot oti eynayich
If like a hunter your eyes had captured me
mimerchakim ani hayiti ba elayich
From far away I would have come to you
mibeyt avich lokecha et yodcha umityatzev itecha lifney hashevet
From your father's house I'd take your hand and stand with you before the tribe
omer ani shelach umitchayev latet lach et kol ma sheat ohevet
Say I am yours and vow to give you everything you love
im ani veat hayinu noladim bag'ungel
If you and I had been born in the jungle
bemakom bo eyn mikledet dabel yu o sheterudel
In a place with no keyboard, double-u or at-sign
hayiti sham zamar romantikan
I would have been a romantic singer there
veat hayit hachi yafe beafrika
And you would have been the most beautiful in Africa
lech meal bama ketantonet maaraz raua
I'd stand on a tiny rickety crate of a stage
hayiti shar al ahava vegagua
And sing of love and longing
nose otcha rachok el hamidbar, sheaf echad sham lo yimtza otanu
Carry you far into the desert where no one could find us
beeser etzbaot bone lecha kefar uvlibo et habikta shelanu
With ten fingers build you a village with our cabin at its heart
vehalayla sheneynu kan
And tonight we are both here
at nitzevet lemuli
You are standing before me
velachen meahava, ani shar lecha
And so, out of love, I sing to you
beli milim
