hine shuv matchil haboker, sheneynu shuv pokchim eynayim
Here again morning begins, the two of us again open our eyes
hine shuv hashir shelach at mitoreret leolam
Here again is your song as you wake into the world
ani kam rishon beyneynu, yesh devarim ketanim adayin
I am the first of us to rise, there are still small things
boi veniftor otam, kedey sheyihye mushlam
Come and let us resolve them, so it can be perfect
hine shuv at mitmakeret, lirgashot umsaperet
Here again you are addicted, to feelings and you tell me
shechalamta alay balayla, sheheveti lach perachim
That you dreamed of me at night, that I brought you flowers
neshikot ketanot baboker, neshikot ketanot baerev,
Small kisses in the morning, small kisses in the evening,
tistakeli hachutza hine, hashamayim meirim.
Look outside, look, the skies are bright.
rak lifamim beemtza tzechok, al hapanim
Only sometimes in the middle of a laugh, on the faces
mishtolelet kan sufa, kemo beisland
A storm rages here, as if in Iceland
ma kore lanu keshera lanu bifnim?
What happens to us when we hurt inside?
at chozeret mehakefor
You return from the cold
ani ba chasuf baor
I come exposed in the light
umchabek otach chibuk shelo nigmar
And hold you in an embrace that never ends
velochesh: "ilmale hayita kan, eyn li shum machar".
And whisper: "If you weren't here, I have no tomorrow".
hine shuv matchil haboker, hine shuv pokchim eynayim
Here again morning begins, here again we open our eyes
ata rachok kemo san-fransisko, at omeret titkarev
You are far away like San Francisco, you say come closer
neshikot ketanot baboker, ani menashek lach ta'iniyim
Small kisses in the morning, I kiss your eyes
veshoel teratzi kafe, umitkaven lomar ani ohev.
And ask would you like coffee, and mean to say I love you.
