rega shel shichcha bikashti
A moment of forgetting I asked for
rega shel simcha bikashti
A moment of joy I asked for
rega shel emet achat befashtut
A moment of one simple truth
rega bo tihye mofia
A moment in which you would appear
kemo gal beyam rogea
Like a wave on a calm sea
mistaer umlatef berakut rega bo ehye shochachat
Surging and stroking gently A moment in which I would be forgetting
yamim reykim, yamim shel pachad
Empty days, days of fear
rega bo emtza otcha lidey rak etmol eynay nashakta
A moment in which I would find you by my side Only yesterday you kissed my eyes
mabati itecha lakachat
You took my gaze with you
lamishmeret ulmagen
As a watch and as a shield
ad hasaf otcha liviti
I walked you to the threshold
keal kaf otcha nasati
I carried you like on a palm
larega bo tomar, tomar ken, ken rega bo ehye shochachat.
For the moment when you would say, would say yes, yes A moment in which I would be forgetting.
