Stranger

amarta et mar libecha
You said what was bitter in your heart
vehayita li ko zara
And you were so strange to me
hayiti dey ragua
I was quite calm
gam kesheat hayit kara
Even when you were cold
milim kemo sakin
Words like a knife
veeynayim esh yokdot
And eyes with burning fire
shaalti az madua
I asked then why
at sovevet seviv peredot -
You always circle around separations
libecha hu lev shel even
Your heart is a heart of stone
im sicha letzido
With a shrub beside it
daka achat hu vered
For one moment it's a rose
umid hofech oro
And immediately it turns around
ashke oto beli heref
I'll water it without cease
sheyifrach kol hashana
So it blooms all year
tihyi isha ohevet
Be a loving woman
vaani shelech.
And I will be yours
amarta et mar libecha
You said what was bitter in your heart
velo haya lach ma lomar
And you had nothing more to say
lerega kat chashavti
For a brief moment I thought
shehayiti lach lezar
That I had become a stranger to you
hikeyti al kol chet
I beat my chest for every sin
gam keshelo asiti kelum
Even when I did nothing wrong
veat tamid amart li:
And you always told me:
"ahava hi shiamum" -
"Love is boredom"
libecha hu lev shel even
Your heart is a heart of stone
im sicha letzido
With a shrub beside it
daka achat hu vered
For one moment it's a rose
umid hofech oro
And immediately it turns around
ashke oto beli heref
I'll water it without cease
sheyifrach kol hashana
So it blooms all year
tihyi isha ohevet
Be a loving woman
vaani shelech.
And I will be yours
