keshehayiti yeled
When I was a child
heemanti befiot
I believed in fairies
veotan raiti
And I saw them
gam afot, gam mesachakot
Flying and playing too
veaz hitbagarti
Then I grew up
hapiot lo neelmu
The fairies did not disappear
ach otan histarti
But I hid them away
anashim bahen pogu
People hurt them
eretz rechoka menagenet beroshi
A distant land plays inside my head
tzelil shel kesem shenishkach
The sound of forgotten magic
eretz avuda vaani sham levadi
A lost land and I am there alone
vehaor shebah hu rach
And the light there is soft
veyihye li yeled
And I will have a child
hu yivne lo olamot
He will build himself worlds
az nachlom beyachad
Then we will dream together
nesachek im hapiot
We'll play with the fairies
