Copied!
lo od basar vadam,
no longer flesh and blood,
lo od isha chaya,
no longer a living woman,
aval et shir kayam.
but you are an existing song.
vehu atuf milim,
And it is wrapped in words,
milim umangina,
words and melody,
veketzev mesuyam,
and a certain rhythm,
acharey hakol - et shir kayam.
after all - you are an existing song.
az lifamim keshekar li,
besheket mityashev itecha,
So sometimes when I feel cold,
veshar beli milim -
I quietly sit down with you,
ani shar li.
and sing without words -
acharey hakol, et shir, et shir nichtav.
I sing to myself.
kol hamilim sheat lachasht bi,
After all, you are a song, you are a written song.
kol hamilim sheat lachasht -
All the words you whispered in me,
hen shir achshav,
all the words you whispered -
ohevet, veod ma
they are a song now,
shechashta bi,
loving, and whatever else
milim, milim, milim bashir nichtav.
you felt in me,
ani karov bashir
words, words, words in a written song.
kemo haneshima,
beahava niftach,
I am close in a song
unsayem bema?
like a breath,
unsayem bemi?
opening with love,
ulay becha, ulay bi?
and ending with what?
ulay beli milim,
and ending with whom?
acharey hakol, achshav et shir sheli
maybe with you, maybe with me?
maybe without words,
after all, now you are my song.
