Like a Bird

by Ofra Haza

Copied!
kemo tzipor nolda lechofesh
Like a bird born for freedom
efrosh kenafay li el hanofesh
I'll spread my wings toward the haven
ki tikvotay bi shavu lekanen
For my hopes have returned to nest in me
eshkach yamim lelo margoa
I'll forget days without rest
emtza menucha shalvat eloha
I'll find peace divine serenity
vegam shiray chozru lehitnagen
And my songs too have returned to play
kemo tzipor nolda lechofesh
Like a bird born for freedom
efrosh kenafay li el hanofesh
I'll spread my wings toward the haven
ki tikvotay bi shavu lekanen
For my hopes have returned to nest in me
eshkach yamim lelo margoa
I'll forget days without rest
emtza menucha shalvat eloha
I'll find peace divine serenity
vegam shiray chozru lehitnagen
And my songs too have returned to play
beyn yediday al hamirpeset
Among my friends on the balcony
ani mamash mamash nirgeshet
I'm truly truly moved
gam belibi argish et hashinuy
In my heart too I'll feel the change
etmol hayiti keiveret
Yesterday I was like a blind woman
ko bodda kol kach acheret
So lonely so different
ufeta kemo chalom bilti tzafuy
And suddenly like an unexpected dream
kemo tzipor nolda lechofesh
Like a bird born for freedom
efrosh kenafay li el hanofesh
I'll spread my wings toward the haven
ki tikvotay bi shavu lekanen
For my hopes have returned to nest in me
eshkach yamim lelo margoa
I'll forget days without rest
emtza menucha shalvat eloha
I'll find peace divine serenity
vegam shiray chozru lehitnagen
And my songs too have returned to play
amshich lashir shirey ohevet
I'll keep singing songs of love
echroz milim penini machashevet
I'll string words pearls of thought
argish sof sof, ho, ma ze lichyot
I'll feel at last, oh, what it is to live
yamim nilchamti lo vitarti
For days I fought I never gave up
al yeushi sof sof gevirti
Over my despair I finally prevailed
al ken ani beyn hameusharot
That is why I'm among the blessed
kemo tzipor nolda lechofesh
Like a bird born for freedom
efrosh kenafay li el hanofesh
I'll spread my wings toward the haven
ki tikvotay bi shavu lekanen
For my hopes have returned to nest in me
eshkach yamim lelo margoa
I'll forget days without rest
emtza menucha shalvat eloha
I'll find peace divine serenity
vegam shiray chozru lehitnagen
And my songs too have returned to play
