eych hazeman hu tas, ze lo nitpas sheani aba
How time flies, it's unbelievable that I'm a father
mekitz min hayaldut el hametziut sheani chay bah
Waking from childhood into the reality I live in
zocher eych acharey shelosha nigmar haavir
I remember how after three, the air ran out
amarti chaki, amarta li tire, hem ketzat yigdelu vetavin
I said wait, you said look, they'll grow a little and you'll understand
pitom hem shisha, od rega shiva, vechama shehem madhimim
Suddenly they're six, another moment seven, and how amazing they are
aval halachatz gadal, bana lo migdal
But the pressure grows, built itself a tower
lalev yesh rak sheney chadarim
The heart has only two chambers
vehamatzpun oved gam shabatot vechagim
And the conscience works on Sabbaths and holidays too
at em hashana kevar shanim
You've been a mother for years now
ani od shavuy bapechadim sh...
I'm still held captive by fears that...
ani lo aspik lehagia
I won't make it in time
lishmor, lehatzil, lehoshia
To watch over, to save, to rescue
lispog bimkomam ta'klia
To take the bullet in their place
oy kama halev hu pagia
Oh how fragile the heart is
ani mitpalel al hayeladim sheli
I pray for my children
shelo yirshu et haseritot sheli
That they won't inherit my scars
sheyechabeku echad et hasheni
That they'll embrace one another
amen sheyihyu beriim tamid
Amen, may they always be healthy
rotze lihyot sham bishvilam bediuk kemo shehivtachti
I want to be there for them exactly as I promised
lashevet besofo shel yom, ladaat shehitzlachti
To sit at the end of the day and know I succeeded
beyntayim sofer nitzchonot ketanim, mabesut shelo barachti
Meanwhile counting small victories, glad I didn't run away
lasherutim o lamachshev, pashut atzarti vehikshavti
To the bathroom or the computer, I simply stopped and listened
lesipurim al tziporim
To stories about birds
lemachshavot, letziurim
To thoughts, to drawings
lachalomot sheyom echad yagshimu
To dreams they'll one day fulfill
lagiborim, linsichut
To heroes, to princesses
im haeynayim hashotkot
With their silent eyes
yesh yam sodot im beemet takshivu
There's a sea of secrets if you truly listen
mitpalel al hayeladim sheli
I pray for my children
shelo yirshu et haseritot sheli
That they won't inherit my scars
sheyechabeku echad et hasheni
That they'll embrace one another
amen sheyihyu beriim tamid
Amen, may they always be healthy
amen amen amen al hayeladim sheli
Amen amen amen for my children
shelo yirshu et haseritot sheli
That they won't inherit my scars
sheyechabeku echad et hasheni
That they'll embrace one another
amen sheyihyu beriim tamid
Amen, may they always be healthy
omed mitbonen bayatzia
I stand and watch from the stands
tzofe mehatzad umeria
Observing from the side and cheering
gam batehom, gam barakia
In the depths and in the heights
ozev et hakol umagia
I leave everything and arrive
rak techabeku echad et hasheni
Just embrace one another
amen shetihyu beriim tamid
Amen, may you always be healthy
