halev hechesir tiktuk haguf ibed techusha
My heart skipped a beat, my body lost all feeling
achshav ani margish raiti bach isha
Now I feel it — I saw in you a woman
biglal hanesibot vead eynsof busha
Because of circumstances and infinite shame
heedafti laavod baavoda kasha
I preferred to work at hard labor
meraad mimaga mipachad eynsofi
Trembling from touch, afraid of the infinite
azavti et ze az natashti et atzmi
I abandoned that, I then abandoned myself
aval lamrot hakol sham beotah pegisha
But despite everything, there at that meeting
ani mevin achshav raiti bach isha
I understand now, I saw in you a woman
halev hechesir tiktuk...
My heart skipped a beat...
meraash mitpotzetz shebitshukat demama
From noise exploding in the passion of silence
meahava hazo koevet vetova
From this love that hurts and is good
meanashim yafim mehamilim baruch
From beautiful people, from blessed words
mitzelil shemelatef chozer haloch vashov
From a sound that caresses, returning back and forth
hair tamshich chayim ki eyn bah shum busha
The city will go on living because it carries no shame
achshav ani batucha raiti bach isha
Now I am certain — I saw in you a woman
halev hechesir tiktuk...
My heart skipped a beat...
