My mother-in-law probably thinks you're dying of hunger

And she cooks for you from a generous heart
kol hayom hi metzaltzelet veshoelet lishlomech
All day she calls and asks how you are
hi lavetach sham choshevet eych over yomcha
She's surely there thinking about how your day goes

Driving us out of our minds, ah ah

How long will I understand her, ah ah

I feel like strangling her, ah ah

Twice a week she visits my home
ze etzlah minhag kavua levaker oti
It's her fixed habit to come visit me
ze nachon hi li ozeret mevashelet bishvilcha
True, she helps me, cooks for you
veavak hi menaeret, mishulchoncha
And dusts off your table

In the fridge she rummages, the milk is a bit old
ulfach mid zoreket ki ze lo bari
And throws it straight in the bin because it's not healthy

Scrubs, tidies, irons out the creases
ta'mita hi mesaderet veharahitim
She makes the bed and straightens the furniture

What will be the end with her...
