hashemesh neelma kimat mehashamayim
The sun has almost disappeared from the sky
leat shokaat lah bamayim
Slowly setting in the water
beyam hamachshavot sheli meofefet
In the sea of my thoughts I am floating
ani ala beshalechet
I am a leaf in the autumn wind
ze lo hamelach shel hamayim
It's not the salt of the water
shetzorev li bechaze
That stings in my chest
yikach yoter miom yomayim
It will take more than a day or two
lehavin ma kore
To understand what is happening
lo tov lishneynu
Not good for either of us
lo tov li im atzmi
Not good for me with myself
ulay ata
Maybe you
lo rauy leahava shevi
Are not worthy of the love within me
chomot baninu
We built walls
libi hu mivtzari
My heart is my fortress
lo tov lecha lo li
Not good for you, not for me
hapanasim bair dolkim
The streetlamps in the city light up
meirim li et haderech habayta
Illuminating my way home
rotze lishtof et hapanim
I want to wash my face
pitom pagashti
When suddenly I found
od michtav shehisharta
Another letter you left
ze tzorev li baeynayim
It stings in my eyes
lo min hamelach shel hayam
Not from the salt of the sea
leatzev yesh techunot kaelu
Sorrow has such qualities
shekashe lichyot itan
That are hard to live with
lo tov lishneynu..
Not good for either of us..
