Going Wild Outside

Copied!
mithalech kol erev mechapes bechal hair
I wander every evening, searching all across the city
zot sheahavti et hadelet li torka
The one I loved slammed the door in my face
li lo magia lehodia mitracheket meeyney
She didn't bother telling me she was drifting from my sight
dima achat hi lo hesira
She didn't shed a single tear
kemo omra hakol neemar
As if she'd said everything that needed saying
mishtolelet bachutz menanaat ta'gof
She goes wild outside, swaying her body
litzliley habuzuki vehaud
To the sounds of the bouzouki and the oud
siftotey taam tzuf ahavti ad teruf
Her lips taste sweet as honey, I loved her to madness
elohim eych libi lah machur
God, how my heart is enslaved to her
nearot hayu li vechulan yafot mare
There were girls in my life, all beautiful to look upon
ach otah ahavti tamim halachti kemo iver
But her I loved — innocent, walking blind
ach kemo peti acharey eych ibadti et chushi
Like a fool I followed her, how I lost my senses
lo afsik lirkod lismocha ach otah kevar meuchar
I won't stop dancing and rejoicing — but her, it's already too late
mishtolelet bachutz...
She goes wild outside...
