lifamim keshetel aviv eynah nisgeret
Sometimes when Tel Aviv does not close
ani yored el hakafe shebapina
I go down to the cafe on the corner
mabit el hatenua shelo otzeret
I watch the traffic that doesn't stop
gam keshemashehu kore bamedina
Even when something happens in the country
ani kemo ale nidaf mikol erua
I am like a leaf blown by every event
aval mazmin od kos kafe lashulchan
But I order another cup of coffee for the table
al ma ani omed im kol shavua
What do I stand for if every week
kol echad yachol litrof et haolam.
Anyone can shake up the world.
ani yodea shebasof, yimog hatzaar ulay
I know that in the end, the sorrow may dissolve
ulay machar, ulay beod shana
Maybe tomorrow, maybe in another year
harucha hahodefet et hashachar
The wind that pushes back the dawn
basof od teshane et kiuunah.
Will eventually change its direction.
velifamim keshetel-aviv eynah nirdemet
And sometimes when Tel Aviv does not sleep
ani tzoed im haketzev shel hair
I walk with the rhythm of the city
mitachat leraglay hi mehamhemet
Beneath my feet it hums
tzelilim sheyerakemu besof bashir
Sounds that will eventually weave into a song
nichocha shel kafe ba mikol ever
The scent of coffee comes from every direction
kulam omrim devarim raim al heatid
Everyone is saying bad things about the future
veeychshehu hakol yihye beseder
And somehow everything will be alright
meat yoter, pachot miday, kemo tamid.
A little more, a little less, as always.
ani yodea shebasof...
I know that in the end...
harucha hanoshevet al bateynu
The wind blowing over our homes
mearbelet ananim shel seara
Stirs up clouds of storm
rachmi meat, rachamey meat aleynu
Have a little mercy, have a little mercy on us
havii lanu yom shel regia.
Bring us a day of calm.
ani yodea shebasof...
I know that in the end...
