all the friends in the neighborhood, we threw a party.

What fun it was, what a celebration, no one wants to rest,
hishtolalnu beteruf - asinu ma sheba.
we went wild and crazy — did whatever we felt.
kemo devorim bisdey perachim,
Like bees in fields of flowers,
shotim mitzuf haneurim.
drinking from the nectar of youth.
ahavnu lismocha, ahavnu lirkod
We loved to be happy, we loved to dance

we simply loved to live.
bair hagedola bedira ketantana,
In the big city in a tiny little apartment,
yesh chafla shel kol hashechuna.
there's a party for the whole neighborhood.
chofshiyim meshuchrarim, kemo alim barucha
Free, liberated, like leaves in the wind
vehaketzev mitgaber chazak umsachrer.
and the beat grows louder, strong and dizzying.

Young and happy with open minds,
margishim bechal haguf, eych hadam over.
