raiti paam eych ani nishbar
Once I saw how I could break
mikan chashavti sheevrach
From here I thought I would escape
uma shelo argish kan mikarov
And what I won't feel here up close
ulay avin rak mimerchak
Maybe I'll only understand from a distance
himshachti hola el makom acher
I kept going to another place
mamri lechofesh kemo tzipor
Taking flight to freedom like a bird
cholem lauf gam im yodea sh...
Dreaming of flying even knowing that...
et shetey kanfey shuv yenasu lishbor
My two wings they'll try to break again
ho yeled yeled
Oh child, child
eyn becha manocha
There is no rest in you
lo timtza margoa
You'll find no peace
gam beir zara
Even in a foreign city
rechovot shel sheket
Streets of quiet
eretz merucheket
A distant land
elef kilometrim
A thousand kilometers
im kanaf shevura
With a broken wing
bachof chika olam kol kach dome
On the shore waited a world so similar
otam shamayim veoto afor
The same sky and the same gray
veeych dimyanti kan od eshtane
And how I imagined I would change here
eych hishtaneyti peamim eynsefor
How I've changed countless times
ho yeled yeled
Oh child, child
eyn becha manocha
There is no rest in you
lo timtza margoa
You'll find no peace
gam beir zara
Even in a foreign city
rechovot shel sheket
Streets of quiet
eretz merucheket
A distant land
elef kilometrim
A thousand kilometers
im kanaf shevura
With a broken wing
ho yeled yeled
Oh child, child
rutz achar harucha
Chase after the wind
eyn makom lanucha
There is no place to rest
eyn kevar bishvil mi
No one left to stay for
kol ma sheraiti
All that I saw
kol mi shehayiti
All that I was
achshav kevar lo yodea
Now no longer knows
mi mehem
Which of them I am
