Im Tikra

If You Call

by Hilly Boimel

Copied!
af echad lo yashan.
No one sleeps.
mi shekar lo venishbar,
Whoever was deceived and broken,
lo yoshit haor yado
light will not extend its hand
hen ze amar lo lo likpotz el toch halayla
for it told him not to jump into the night
az rak yazil dima shevura
so he'll only shed a broken tear
al hashevarim hadommim
upon the mute fragments
vimalmel bekol saduk-
and murmur in a cracked voice —
im tikra li avo
If you call me I will come
mishtolel
Raging
hamula chotma sefatayim.
tumult has sealed lips.
keshekevar kar hakol mutar,
When everything is cold, all is permitted,
lo yoshit haor yado
light will not extend its hand
hen ze amar lo lo likpotz el toch halayla
for it told him not to jump into the night
az rak yazil dima shevura
so he'll only shed a broken tear
al hashevarim hadommim
upon the mute fragments
vimalmel bekol saduk-
and murmur in a cracked voice —
im tikra li avo
If you call me I will come
