achshav keshepotchu et haderech el hayam
Now that they opened the road to the sea
ani rotza lehitztaref el kulam,vlalechet biladayich
I want to join everyone and walk without you
ani rotza lehitatef bechal habegadim shelo lavashti shanim
I want to wrap myself in all the clothes I haven't worn in years
liftocha lirvacha terisim chaludim velitzrocha-
to throw open rusty shutters wide and cry out —
rotza lihyot chofshi lo teluya baahava
I want to be free, not dependent on love
o bechesef o bimkom
or on money or on a place
milim sheamarti ketanot mimeni hayom
words I said are smaller than me today
rotza lihyot chofshi lo teluya baahava
I want to be free, not dependent on love
o bechesef o bimkom
or on money or on a place
milim sheamarti ketanot mimeni hayom
words I said are smaller than me today
hazeman sheli mitpazer
My time is scattering
isha beyameynu, tamid amart tzericha lehistader
a woman these days, you always said, has to manage
veim yesh li al ma lehitztaer
and if I have anything to regret
ze rak al ze shelo asiti et ze mukdam yoter:
it's only that I didn't do this sooner:
shelo histakalti lach baeynayim
that I didn't look you in the eyes
eych lo heazti lehagid lach ani mamshicha
how I never dared to say to you — I'm moving on
rotza lihyot chofshi lo teluya baahava
I want to be free, not dependent on love
o bechesef o bimkom
or on money or on a place
milim sheamarti ketanot mimeni hayom
words I said are smaller than me today
rotza lihyot chofshi lo teluya baahava
I want to be free, not dependent on love
o bechesef o bimkom
or on money or on a place
milim sheamarti ketanot mimeni hayom
words I said are smaller than me today
