Tears Have a Voice

by Sarit Hadad

Copied!
chalamt al ahava, chalamt al bayit,
You dreamed of love, you dreamed of a home,
chalamt al mishpacha vechom,
You dreamed of family and warmth,
ach yad raa higia el sefatayich,
But an evil hand reached to your lips,
uvli milim goda et hachalom.
And without words cut the dream down.
malach, em merachef, hu lo hofia,
An angel, if hovering, did not appear,
et kol hametzuka hu lo shama
All the distress it did not hear
velo hoyta sam yad asher toshia
And there was no hand there to save
kesheat tzalalt lashachor shel hademama.
When you sank into the black of the silence.
lademaot shelech yesh po
Your tears have a mouth
vehen rotzot litzok
And they want to scream
lademaot shelech yesh po,
Your tears have a mouth,
hen lo rotzot lishtok
They don't want to be silent
az saperi, saperi hakol
So tell, tell everything
al tishmeri balev
Don't keep it in your heart
ki hademaot haatzurot
For the tears locked inside
marut mikol keev
Are more bitter than any pain
at yechola lihyot po umfursemet,
You can be here and famous,
o naara im gi'ns vetaltalim,
Or a girl in jeans with curls,
o rak yalda sheet eyney lo otzemet
Or just a little girl who cannot close her eyes
ki baleylot chozrim shuv hatzelalim.
Because at night the shadows return again.
ani kan leyodcha, gozal patzua,
I am here beside you, wounded fledgling,
et ma shelo tomri ani eshma
What you cannot say, I will hear
ani itech zoeket vedoreshet
I am with you, crying out and demanding
et elboncha veet hanekama
Your dignity and your revenge
lademaot shelech yesh po...
Your tears have a mouth...
