I Have Two Eyes

bechal erev beshaa ko zoheret
Every evening at such a glowing hour
ani mityapa umitganderet
I primp and preen and get myself ready
lifney kol yetzia
Before every night out
et hamara shoelet
I ask the mirror
ani kevar muchana
Am I ready now
o od lo mesuderet
Or not quite put together
li shetey eynayim lirot ulsamen
I have two eyes to see and to notice
li shetey oznayim lishmoa ulzamer
I have two ears to hear and to sing
li shetey raglayim lirkod ulkapetz
I have two legs to dance and to jump
li shetey yadayim otcha rak lechabek
I have two hands only to embrace you
or shel boker mishtalev beyn ananim
Morning light weaves between the clouds
el beyti chozeret mileyl haohavim
I return home from a night of lovers
od ravaka veod lo meoreset
Still single, still not engaged
elayich bitfila kol yom ani mitpalelet
To you in prayer I pray every day
li shetey eynayim lirot ulsamen..
I have two eyes to see and to notice..
