achshav
Now
betoch haseder hayomi pashut,
Within the simple daily routine,
betoch hacheder nenase lashuv -
Within the room let us try to return —
leahava achat.
To one love.
mutav,
Better,
lehishaer keshurim begav hachut,
To remain tied at the back of the thread,
leheachez bemashehu lifney
To hold on to something before
shekochoteynu
Our strength
ozvim bevat achat.
Leaves us all at once.
achshav tihyi geluya, ki
Now be open, for
giliti lach hakol,
I have revealed everything to you,
betoch semicha meucheret
Within a late blanket
tamanti lach oti.
I tucked myself in for you.
ze lo inyan shel yam, ki
This is not a matter of the sea, for
hayam yachol lisbol,
The sea can endure,
aval eych ashane
But how shall I change
at etzev dati?
The sadness of my mind?
ani nichna!
I surrender!
eych ani nichna lach?!
How do I surrender to you?!
hashamayim rechokim miday,
The skies are too distant,
lagaat beanan.
To touch a cloud.
achshav,
Now,
betoch haseder hayomi pashut,
Within the simple daily routine,
betoch hacheder mashehu kashuv
Within the room something attentive
eleynu,
Is with us,
haovrim bechaf.
We who pass through the palm.
mutav,
Better,
lehishaer keshurim begav hachut,
To remain tied at the back of the thread,
leheachez bemashehu, lifney
To hold on to something, before
shekochoteynu
Our strength
ozvim bevat achat.
Leaves us all at once.
achshav tihyi peshuta, ki
Now be simple, for
giliti lach hakol,
I have revealed everything to you,
betoch semicha meucheret
Within a late blanket
nirdamti lach oti.
I fell asleep for you.
afilu shenotarti mutal
Even though I remained lying
al gav hachol,
On my back on the sand,
afilu sheze erev,
Even though it is evening,
boi venatir.
Come and let us untie.
