natata lazeman likrot
You let time pass
ki lo hikarta mashehu acher
Because you knew nothing else
bachit bakarit behester
You cried into the pillow in secret
verak heemanta sheohev hu.
And only believed he was in love.
vechal otah tekufa
And all that time
hevet al atzmech hesberim
You brought upon yourself explanations
chashavta ze davar sheovrim
You thought it was something you get through
veachar kach yihye lanu tov
And afterwards things would be good for us
im hu yelech, az titeni lo
If he goes, then let him go
uchsheyelech at tedi
And when he goes you will know
im hu yelech techayechi lo
If he goes, smile at him
im hu yelech, al tivki.
If he goes, don't cry.
ze shelach yakshiv
The one who's yours will listen
lo tamid hu gam yechabek
He won't always embrace you
et kol teshukotayv yenatek
He will let go of all his desires
berega echad shetigi bo.
At the moment you touch him.
chayim ovrim leat pitom
Life passes slowly then suddenly
ze ketzat atzuv lichyot
It's a little sad to live
tikvot sheeynan havtachot
Hopes that are not promises
hamachar yekadem et boacha.
Tomorrow will welcome your arrival.
im hu yelech, az titeni lo
If he goes, then let him go
uchsheyelech at tedi
And when he goes you will know
im hu yelech techayechi lo
If he goes, smile at him
im hu yelech, al tivki.
If he goes, don't cry.
ulay hakol haya mischak
Maybe everything was just a game
baderech limtzo et haemet
On the way to finding the truth
vehu shatak veat shatakt
And he was silent and you were silent
babeten yesh mashehu boet.
Something is kicking inside.
im hu yelech techayechi lo
If he goes, smile at him
im hu yelech al tivki.
If he goes, don't cry.
im hu yelech az titeni lo
If he goes, then let him go
veet tedi kesheyelech
And you will know when he goes
al tishkechi vetavini
Don't forget and understand
shezot lo hoyta ashmotcha!
This was not your fault!
