zer kisufim katafti leet erev
A bouquet of yearnings I gathered at evening time
tzeror michtavim heveti reychani
A bundle of letters I brought, fragrant
shivrey milim shelo yovshu adayin
Broken words not yet dried
milim asher hikriva dimati
Words that my tears had offered
zer kisufim aragti leeynayich
A bouquet of yearnings I longed for your eyes
shezarti bo et kol gaguay
I wove into it all my longing
selicha shenirkema midimotayich
Forgiveness woven from your tears
veod achat nasati beyadi
And one more I carried in my hand
vekoli nimla gaguim
And my voice filled with longings
ma hayita lecha veat nidreshet
What had you been, and what were you sought for
haim chemla o sicha kotzim
Was it compassion or a thorn bush
haim pericha yafe o shalechet
Was it a beautiful bloom or fallen leaves
veyomi nimla bacharata
And my days filled with regret
me hayiti lach veat neetzevet
What had I been, and what made you sorrowful
demutech hotira bi chulsha
Your image left me with weakness
vehi kol kach yafe
And it is so beautiful
ach neezavt
But abandoned

A bouquet of yearnings I brought at evening time
tzeror michtavim mukey goral
A bundle of letters beaten by fate

A portion of love I brought all the way to you
et reycha hakeev asher nimhal
The scent of pain that had been mixed in

A bouquet of jealousy I brought from my garden
shezarti lichvodcha kol kochotay
I wove into it for your honor all my strength
veaf selicha heveti imadi
And even forgiveness I brought along with me
veod achat ormu lecha leylotay
And yet another piled up for you all my nights

And my voice filled with longings...

A bouquet of yearnings I brought at evening time
