gever holech leibud derech mirpeset
A man gets lost through a balcony
beyn sichey hasharach
Among the fern bushes
hu mitnadned kesheharucha nichneset
He sways when the wind enters
hu neezav
He is abandoned
hu nosher basetav
He sheds his leaves in autumn
al tihyi koeset
Don't be angry
hu meohav
He is in love
tavoi elu lifamim
Come to him sometimes
hu nirga kesheat po
He calms down when you're here
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
at ohevet oto
You love him
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
at ohevet oto
You love him
ohevet oto
Love him
gever ozev lifamim derech mirpeset
A man leaves sometimes through a balcony
mezamzem shir yashan
Humming an old song
niftza beorpo meetz hashesek
Wounded at the nape by the loquat tree
nitzbat beshushan
Pinched by a lily
botz davak baakevo
Mud stuck to his heel
al tihyi koeset
Don't be angry
hu meohav
He is in love
hu ba elayich lifamim
He comes to you sometimes
at nirgat keshehu melatef
You calm down when he caresses
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
lomar lach shehu ohev
To tell you that he loves
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
lomar lach shehu ohev
To tell you that he loves
shehu ohev
That he loves
yesh lifamim shereyk al hamirpeset
Sometimes there's a whistle on the balcony
kemo yom shabat
Like a Saturday
verucha deromit besheket nichneset
And a southern breeze enters quietly
veaf echad
And no one
et choshevet alayv
You think about him
vechatul baesev
And a cat in the grass
borecha zanav
Runs away tail
sheyavo elayich pitom
Let him come to you suddenly
yishtok yelatef
Be silent and caress
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
lomar lach shehu ohev
To tell you that he loves
yesh lo derachim meshunot
He has strange ways
lomar lach shehu ohev
To tell you that he loves
shehu ohev
That he loves
