ho shikor
O Drunkard
hi po lidey, shomeret al kevodi
She is here beside me, guarding my dignity
lehigamel laad ozeret li
Helping me to quit forever
hapituy gadol lishkocha et hakol
The temptation is great to forget everything
ulhachzir et habakbuk el pi
And return the bottle to my lips
az ovrot el mul eynay haatzuvot
And before my sad eyes parade
hatemunot shel neduday birchovot
The images of my wanderings in the streets
ho shikor ho shikor beli kol kiuun setam mahalach
O drunkard, O drunkard, with no direction at all, just walking
ho shikor ho shikor rak habakbuk elay chich.
O drunkard, O drunkard, only the bottle smiled at me.
hi po lidey, yadah betoch yedey
She is here beside me, her hand in my hand
limod sheninat monaat baadi
Preventing both of us from stumbling
hagaron yavesh kimat eyni kovesh
My throat is dry, I barely suppress
et hateshuka litom mibakbukey
The craving to taste from my bottle
ulchitza mikaf yadah hachamima
And the squeeze of her warm palm
mazkira otah tekufa ko aguma
Reminds me of that bleak and bitter time
ho shikor ho shikor
O drunkard, O drunkard
mitnadned borchov umahalach vehabakbuk alay mulcha.
Swaying in the street, walking, and the bottle mocks me.
anashim hibitu bi berachamim
People looked at me with pity
noded hayiti baleylot uvayamim
I wandered in the nights and in the days
yaldey horchov rodfu oti veanochi nimlatti
The street kids chased me and I fled
el habakbuk shebecheyki
To the bottle on my bosom
ho shikor ho shikor noded boded hayiti yedidi
O drunkard, O drunkard, wandering, lonely I was, my friend
ho shikor ho shikor noded boded hayiti yedidi
O drunkard, O drunkard, wandering, lonely I was, my friend
az overet el mul eynay haatzuvot
And before my sad eyes parade
hatemunot shel neduday birchovot
The images of my wanderings in the streets
ho shikor ho shikor beli kol kiuun setam mahalach
O drunkard, O drunkard, with no direction at all, just walking
ho shikor ho shikor beli kol kiuun setam mahalach vehabakbuk aley mulcha
O drunkard, O drunkard, with no direction at all, just walking, and the bottle mocks me
