Melodies of My Life

by Shlomi Shabat

Copied!
hayiti mukaf anashim
I was surrounded by people
ibadti et atzmi lo raiti oti
I lost myself, I could not see me
hayamim naasu chashuchim
The days grew dark
neevakti baoyev harashi
I struggled with my main enemy
shehu beetzem ani
Who is in fact myself
uvli lirot himshachti lalechet
And without seeing I kept on walking
nafalti kemo alim beshalechet
I fell like leaves in autumn
avarti bisdot mokshim
I crossed through minefields
kedey lihyot karov eleycha
In order to be close to you
verak ata yodea kama
And only you know how many
demaot hitgalgelu meeynay
Tears rolled from my eyes
kesheafelim hem hayu yamay
When dark were my days
nashamti et hateva bagalim bacholot
I breathed in nature, in waves, in sands
hishart akevot keshechipasti otcha
You left footprints when I searched for you
bemilim bishtikot chibarti manginot
In words, in silences, I composed melodies
ad shematzati otcha beahava
Until I found you in love
hayiti mesunvar zarkorim
I was blinded by spotlights
sarafti sevivati shesarafti nafshi
I burned my surroundings, I burned my soul
shotatti bishvilim shonim
I wandered on different paths
radaf oti hatzel sheli shemedaber iti
My shadow pursued me, speaking to me
veel haor himshachti lalechet
And toward the light I kept on walking
nafalti kemo alim beshalechet
I fell like leaves in autumn
rak kedey lekabel et hateshuvot mimecha
Only to receive the answers from you
verak ata yodea kama
And only you know how many
demaot hitgalgelu meeynay
Tears rolled from my eyes
kesheafelim hem hayu yamay
When dark were my days
nashamti et hateva bagalim bacholot
I breathed in nature, in waves, in sands
hishart akevot keshechipasti otcha
You left footprints when I searched for you
bemilim bishtikot chibarti manginot
In words, in silences, I composed melodies
ad shematzati otcha beahava
Until I found you in love
verak ata yodea kama
And only you know how many
demaot hitgalgelu meeynay
Tears rolled from my eyes
kesheafelim hem hayu yamay
When dark were my days
nashamti et hateva bagalim bacholot
I breathed in nature, in waves, in sands
hishart akevot keshechipasti otcha
You left footprints when I searched for you
bemilim bishtikot chibarti manginot
In words, in silences, I composed melodies
ad shematzati otcha beahava
Until I found you in love
