If you go to the market
tire otah bocha
You'll see her crying
isha yafe beyn haperot
A beautiful woman among the fruit stalls
motzia od mimchata
Pulling out another tissue
harochlim lah tzoakim
The vendors call out to her
ma kara lach chamuda
What happened to you, sweetheart?
ze ahuvi shelo rotze
It's my love who doesn't want me
hu matza lo naara
He found himself a girl
kechi lach tapuchim utmarim
Take some apples and dates
hamtiki et yomech
Sweeten your day
hu lo shave et hakeev
He's not worth the pain
shemitrotzetz etzlecha balev
Running around inside your heart
hi ohevet et haish
She loves a man
shelo ohev otah
Who doesn't love her back
simlat perachim, lechayim shoshanim
A floral dress, cheeks like roses
lecha lo maspikim
They're not enough for you
ata rotze isha pelakat
You want a poster-perfect woman
beli nisayon chayim
With no life experience
ata rotze yalda naara
You want a young girl
kefua uvli kematim
Frozen and without a wrinkle
kechi lach tapuchim utmarim...
Take some apples and dates...
vehi po mechaka
And she's here waiting
beyn duchney shevakim
Among the market stalls
sheata tirtze otah ahuva
For you to want her as a beloved
rak keshenocha umatim
Only when it's easy and convenient
kechi lach tapuchim utmarim...
Take some apples and dates...
