kol hagevarim shebashechuna
All the men in the neighborhood
eley nosim eynayim
Cast their eyes toward me
omrim yafe at kemo temuna
They say you're as beautiful as a picture
kemo shemesh beyn arbayim
Like the sun at dusk
vechulam porsim li reshet
And they all cast their nets for me
vechulam rotzim rotzim
And they all want, they want
ach ani rak mevakeshet
But all I ask for is
rachamim
Rachamim
rachamim, ya rachamim
Rachamim, oh Rachamim
histakel veeyn sim
Look and pay attention
veulay tasim gam lev
And maybe you'll also notice
eych becherem telavlev
How in the vineyard blooms
shoshana beyn hachochim
A rose among the thorns
bishvilcha ya rachamim
For you, oh Rachamim
kulam shorkim li bachalon
They all whistle at my window
ani eyni shomaat
But I do not hear
etzli halev kemo telefon
My heart is like a telephone
shebelishkat hasaad
At the welfare office
tafus mize chodshayim
Busy for two months now
eyn kesher eyn kavim
No connection, no lines
vechulam al habirkayim
And they're all on their knees
rachamim
Rachamim
ach im etze lelo manos
But if I go out with no escape
raglay holchot eleycha
My feet walk toward you
hoy rachamim matay tifros
Oh Rachamim, when will you spread
ali et rachameycha
Your mercy over me
az netze lorchov beyachad
Then we'll go out to the street together
chavukim kezug yonim
Embraced like a pair of doves
vaani kuli zorachat
And I am all aglow
rachamim
