masa kaze shel shanim rabot,
A journey like this of many years,
hu matchil bayom shebo avi chibek oti,
It begins on the day my father embraced me,
vehaya sham or vehirgashti tov,
And there was light and I felt good,
mi ze elohi,
Who is my God,
shaalti az et achoti.
I asked my sister then.
az lo pele shekelum lo pashut
So it's no wonder nothing is simple
uchlum lo meshulam, kemo beriat haolam.
And nothing is perfect, like the creation of the world.
uchsheimi kora li lashuv,
And when my mother called me to come back,
ki haya lah chashuv,
Because it mattered to her,
lo shamati otah.
I didn't hear her.
veshuv kevar setav, tachana bazeman
And autumn again, a stop in time
vetire oti kore lecha elohay
And you'll see me calling out to you, my God
veinyan echad lo sagur alayv
And one matter remains unresolved
im ata yeshno lama lo ba elay.
If you exist, why haven't you come to me.
masa kaze eych lomar muzar
A journey like this, how to say, strange
ulchal davar matzati li terutz.
And for everything I found an excuse.
paam bagadti becha, velibecha nisgar,
Once I betrayed you, and your heart closed,
silchi li ken asiti shetut.
Forgive me, yes I did something foolish.
az lo pele sheanashim shehayu,
So it's no wonder that people who were there
holchu ledarkam, ki kelum lo meshulam.
Went their own way, because nothing is perfect.
nahiti ketzat boded baolam,
I became a bit lonely in the world,
taluy al sulam, cholem vecharman.
Hanging on a ladder, dreaming and yearning.
masa kaze shel shanim rabot
A journey like this of many years
uvtzomet lod od mitpalelim.
And at the Lod junction they're still praying.
ten kochot laavor od yom,
Grant strength to get through one more day,
mul kol soneynu hagedolim.
Against all our great enemies.
az lo pele shebepikap-bar male
So it's no wonder that the pickup bar is full
veshofchim et halev,
And they pour out their hearts,
tzochakim im badran.
Laughing with a comedian.
patachnu lecha musach bekarney,
We opened you a garage in Karni,
kanyon beeylon
A mall on Ayalon
velo bata lechan.
And you didn't come here.
