Lyrics
aba, chaver amar li lichtov shir alayich
Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you
al kol ma sheraiti befanayich
about everything I saw in your face
al hashalva lelo milim, hanichochot vehatzelilim
about the calm without words, the fragrances and the sounds
hakol haya kilkecha yafe beeynayich
everything was so beautiful in your eyes
aba, zocher et hashevilim beveyt hasefer
Dad, you remember the paths at school
et kol hamanginot mitoch hacheder
all the melodies coming from the room
shehikshavta eych ani shar
how you listened to me sing
im hamabat hameushar
with that happy expression
vehachiuch hamitchabe beyn sefatayich
and the smile hiding between your lips
aba, al haderachim sheko ahavta letapecha
Dad, on the roads you so loved to tend
ani halachti venisiti lenatzecha
I walked and tried to win
velo tamid hevanti eych ki lo hakol holech
and I didn't always understand how, because not everything works out
ani shona mimecha aval meod kamocha
I am different from you, but very much like you
aba, habayit hayashan mimezamen eynenu
Dad, the old house has long since gone
avarnu, hitkadamnu, hishtananu
we moved on, progressed, changed
memaleim et hacheser befartzufim domim yoter
filling the void with more similar faces
im ma shekol echad chashav shechaser lo
with what each one thought they were missing
aba, al haderachim sheko ahavta letapecha
Dad, on the roads you so loved to tend
ani halachti venisiti lenatzecha
I walked and tried to win
velo tamid hevanti eych ki lo holech
and I didn't always understand how, because it doesn't work out
ani shona mimecha aval meod kamocha
I am different from you, but very much like you
aba, hazeman avar velo dibarnu aba salach li
Dad, time passed and we didn't speak, Dad, forgive me
lakach li zeman kedey lehavin ata shayach li
it took me time to understand - you belong to me
kemo sheani shayach lecha
just as I belong to you
kemo sheani ohev otcha
just as I love you
bo lo nishmor bifnim yoter undaber
come, let's not keep things inside anymore, let's talk
aba, chaver amar li lichtov shir alayich.
Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you.
