Copied!
im tirtze kach lisgor et hakol
If you want to close everything like this
velo lehashir bi davar
And leave nothing in me
lo livdok, lo likro, lo lishol
Not to check, not to read, not to ask
velihyot ko rachok li vezar
And to be so distant and foreign to me
lirot bashamayim tziporim doot
To see birds soaring in the sky
bishat arviyim kimat kimat livkot rak itecha li kashim hadevarim
At twilight, almost, almost to cry Only with you are things difficult for me
rak itecha lo kal ledaber
Only with you it is not easy to talk
yesh gevarim, yesh gevarim shebochim
There are men, there are men who cry
keshelibam mesarev levater
When their heart refuses to surrender
lishtey haraglayim haroadot vechoshlot
For two trembling and faltering legs
lishtey haeynayim shelo yodot litzchok kum eley, kum vehitorer
For two eyes that do not know how to laugh Get up to me, get up and awaken
hitgaber venitgaber
Overcome and we shall overcome together
kol hakesem vehaor
All the magic and the light
sovvim beli lachzor
Circling without returning
sovvim itanu venogim
Circling with us and touching
venogim rak banu kachalom uvcha ma becha mistater
And touching only us like a dream And what is hidden inside you
el mi kach tivar keashan
For whom do you burn so like smoke
lo, ani lo ahavti achar
No, I have not loved another
rak lecha mechaka kol hazeman
Only waiting for you all this time
im paam hayita shoresh melavlev
If once you were a flourishing root
achshav nisheret achzava beli lev.
Now you remain a heartless disappointment.
