Still waiting for someone,
chalom yashan od melave, lo nivgad.
An old dream still guides me, not betrayed.
mechake leechad kesheyofia azahe oto mid.
Waiting for someone when he appears I'll know him right away.
od mechake leechad,
Still waiting for someone,
asher yashkicha beeynayv
Who will make me forget with his eyes
et haolam uchaviv leached
The world and its sorrows for someone
shechotam sefatayv yatbia bi laad.
Whose lips' seal will be stamped in me forever.

Still waiting, I won't be afraid,

Even if time sinks its teeth,

There's still spirit in me endlessly for someone
shetzipor nafshi bechaf yado tirad.
In whose palm the bird of my soul will tremble.

If there is love, if there is love,
im yesh ahava baolam, az heychan hi halayla?
If there is love in the world, then where is it tonight?

If there is love, if there is love,

I'll wait for it until my days and nights are spent.
