az demaot elayich,
So then tears toward you,
shirim al eych hayita veachshav chaser
songs about how you were and now you are missing
lashov nisinu lehastir,
in vain we tried to hide,
haim ata zocher?
do you remember?
ir shechuva lanucha, panas merucha,
A city laid to rest, a smeared streetlamp,
choshech mekalef mikevish
darkness peeling off the road
otef et tzavari bishtey yadayich
wrapping your hands around my neck
lehargish oti nishenet
to feel me leaning,
kol haderech rak elayich
all the way only toward you
itecha, hageshem ratz kemo
With you, the rain ran like
yeled al hamidracha
a child on the sidewalk
yarecha kemo kosem shalaf bachashecha
the moon like a magician pulled from the darkness
ketze or shekol halayla
a sliver of light that all night long
yedagdeg li bismicha
would tickle me beneath the blanket
chalom matok sheyechabek
a sweet dream to embrace
itecha, hazeman hu rak anak
With you, time is only a grandfather
shemetaktek mehaaron
ticking from the wardrobe
golshu kol habegadim,
all the clothes slipped off,
rokdu itanu basalon
danced with us in the living room
mehachalon matach avir,
from the window a gust of air,
sade yarok machak et kol hair
a green field erased the whole city
shir shel sof haseret,
The song of a film's end,
daka otzeret,
a moment suspended,
hakahal shuv mitpazer lorchov
the audience scattering back to the street
beyn anashim bivdidutam haya li tov
among people in their solitude I felt at home
ir shekuba lanucha,
a city laid to rest,
panas merucha, choshech mekalef leor
a smeared streetlamp, darkness peeling into light
shotefet hademama et tzavarenu,
the silence washing our necks,
lefazer tipot shel rucha
to scatter drops of wind
lehashkicha milibenu
to make us forget
itecha, hageshem ratz...
With you, the rain ran...
