keshehayiti katan haya li teva muzar
When I was little I had a strange nature
lo lishmoa otcha ach kol ma shesiparta nisgar
Not listening to you but everything you told was sealed
etzli betoch halev,
Inside my heart,
halev kemo ta mitan
The heart like a cargo compartment
kol ma shesiparta matchil keshehayita tzeira
Everything you told begins when you were young
keshehayit tzeira ahavta gever echad
When you were young you loved one man
baa milchama, sogra alayv bevat achat
A war came, closed in on him all at once
tzahorayim echad hu nilkach
One afternoon he was taken
barakevet
On a train
kemo keves
Like a lamb
ach lifney hamilchama hachatzotzrot nigenu
But before the war the trumpets played
urkadtem sheneychem at vehu
And you both danced you and he
meusharim berikud, beli chashash ufikpuk
Happy in the dance, without fear or doubt
begermanya - lifney hamilchama
In Germany - before the war
kol echad zakuk leima, ima ma ochel otcha
Everyone needs a mother, Mother how I ache for you
delet hamitbach neula gam achshav
The kitchen door is locked even now
bachutz shokea shemesh, haolam nirga
Outside the sun is setting, the world calms down
etzlecha hakol acheret, hakol lashov
For you everything is different, everything in vain
haim histayema hamilchama?
Has the war ended?
begermanya lifney hamilchama
In Germany before the war
hayita yafe, ze machiv
You were beautiful, it hurts
hazeman lo amad
Time did not stand still
haguf lo nitzchi
The body is not eternal
mi roked tachat yarecha, rak hazikaron
Who dances under the moon, only the memory
mi haish batemuna, mi hayeled baaron
Who is the man in the photo, who is the child in the closet
begermanya lifney hamilchama, haya nidme lecha
In Germany before the war, it seemed to you
ma haya nidme lach?
What did it seem to you?
