Every Day a Year Begins

harakia od bahir
The sky is still bright
ach baerev kevar karir
But in the evening it's already cool
bachalon asher puna layam
In the window that faces the sea
i efshar ulay lomar
One perhaps cannot say
shehakayitz kevar nigmar
That summer is already over
ach hashemesh mitayef yoter mukdam
But the sun grows tired earlier
al hadeshe bechatzer
On the lawn in the yard
yom matchil lehitkatzer
The day begins to shorten
ach od kemo davar lo hishtana
But still nothing seems to have changed
im ata yedid emet
If you are a true friend
haamed panim kaet
Pretend for now
al tagid li sheovra kevar od shana
Don't tell me another year has already passed
lo ze lo yachol lihyot
No, this cannot be
hashanim hen lo sheniot
The years are not seconds
im tabit tuchal lirot
If you look you can see
shekelum lo hishtana
That nothing has changed
kol chushi mitkommim
All my senses rebel
ten li od kama yamim
Give me a few more days
lo hispakti shum davar hashana
I didn't get anything done this year
eyn od geshem beanan
There is no more rain in the clouds
al tikpotz al kol siman
Don't jump at every sign
el tered lifney hatachana
Don't get off before your stop
al tare li bayoman
Don't show me in the calendar
tihye kemo av rachman
Be like a merciful father
el tair oti ani od yeshena
Don't wake me, I'm still sleeping
lo ze lo yachol lihyot
No, this cannot be
shanananana shanananananana
Sha-na-na, sha-na-na-na
shanananananana od shana
Sha-na-na-na, another year
shananananana shanananananana
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na
al tagid li sheovra kevar od shana
Don't tell me another year has already passed
