I loved you from my soul
ken otcha rak otcha ahavti
Yes, you — only you I loved
lo natata katef lenechama
You gave no shoulder of comfort
hoy eli eli eych nifgati
Oh God, how I was hurt
nifgati balev nifgati
I was hurt in my heart, I was hurt
hoy elokim eych nifgati
Oh God, how I was hurt
natati lecha neshama
I gave you my soul
ach ata bi eych pagata
But you — how did you wound me
hayita bishvili echad veyachid
You were my one and only
hayita simchat chayay
You were the joy of my life
ahavti otcha rak elokim yaid
I loved you, only God can testify
shena nodda meeyney
Sleep fled from my eyes
et libi lo natati leacher
I gave my heart to no other
lo ratziti aleycha levater
I didn't want to give you up
harey ze nishbanu beahavatenu
For this we swore in our love
al kol michshol nitgaber
We would overcome every obstacle
chikiti lecha yamim veleylot
I waited for you days and nights
hivtachta yavo yom tashuv
You promised the day would come you'd return
safarti sheot sifrey dakot
I counted hours, I counted minutes
heemanti becha ad hasof
I believed in you till the very end
