Into the City

ani yodea lehavdil heytev
I know how to tell the difference well
beyn setam kochav
Between an ordinary star
uveyn shever or. horchovot holchim lishon - keilu anashim,
And a ray of broken light. The streets are falling asleep - like people,
chatulim ovrim, baderech harashit.
Cats passing by, along the main road.
hadavsha bamechonit osa li reashim,
The pedal in the car makes noise for me,
ulay hi shara shir. ze lo nachon, eyni choshesh lomar sheat yafe,
Maybe it is singing a song. It is true, I am not afraid to say you are beautiful,
et hamilim, yamim rabim ani shomer.
These words, for many days I have kept them.
hair hazot nirdemet veulay ani achshav -
This city is dozing off and maybe I am now -
omar milim harbe. horchovot holchim lishon - keilu anashim,
Saying so many words. The streets are falling asleep - like people,
chatulim ovrim, baderech harashit.
Cats passing by, along the main road.
hadavsha bamechonit osa li reashim,
The pedal in the car makes noise for me,
ulay hi shara shir. ani nizkar achshav tavini,
Maybe it is singing a song. I remember now, you should know,
ki haya li tov.
How good I had it.
kesheeyn li shir, ani nizkar becha vecholem.
When I have no song, I remember you and dream.
et ma sheyesh lomar, achshav,
What there is to say, now,
machar,
Tomorrow,
ani echtov,
I will write it down,
hine hayom ole.
Here the day is rising.
