at hayit yalda
You were a little girl
yefe vechaychanit
Beautiful and smiling
lu yadata kama saba
If you only knew how much grandfather
ahav becha lehabit
Loved to watch you
at vaday eynech yodaat et hasod
You surely don't know the secret
sheneelemet beterem raglecha lomda litzod
You vanished before your feet had learned to walk
saida, od ima lach shara
Sa'ida, mama still sings to you
saida, tikva vachalom
Sa'ida, hope and a dream
at chelek meaba gam chelek meima
You are part of father and part of mother
saida, neshama shel ima
Sa'ida, mother's soul
yovshu nachaley
The streams of tears dried up
hademaot vehakeev
And the pain, the pain
veaba memalmel
And father murmurs
kol yom ani ohev
Every day I love you
ach lev shekoev leolam lo shochecha
But a heart that aches can never forget
ad matay lah leem tivke vetityapecha
How long will the mother weep and wail
saida, od ima lach sara...
Sa'ida, mama still sings to you...
