tachat kol shamayim leyad kol etz omed
Under every sky, beside every tree that stands
hayiti ba tamid elayich lehatzil otach
I would always come to you, to save you
uchshehayit shokaat kemo shemesh dikaon
And when you were sinking like a sun into depression
hayiti ba beemtza kaas o beemtza yom
I would come in the middle of anger or in the middle of the day
tamid achar hatzahorayim sheeyn siman bachutz
Always in the afternoon when there's no sign outside
hayita tzolelet keheref ayin leeretz hayaldut
You would dive in an instant into the land of childhood
hayit holechet lechapes et ma sheeyn mizeman
You would go searching for what hasn't existed for a long time
hayit omeret yesh kasefet vechulanu sham
You would say there's a vault and we're all in there
vegam im hayiti batzad hasheni shel haolam veat hayit po
And even if I was on the other side of the world and you were here
gam im lo yacholti lehatzil otcha mikulam, hayiti menase lavo
Even if I couldn't save you from everyone, I would try to come
vegam im lo hirgasht kevar kelum, afilu lo et atzmech
And even if you felt nothing anymore, not even yourself
hayiti ba lehatzil otcha, lehatzil otcha, afilu mimecha.
I would come to save you, to save you, even from yourself.
Hey! I need somebody
Hey! I need somebody
Hey! is there anybody
Hey! is there anybody
hey! I need someone to hey me
Hey! I need someone to hey me
tachat kol shamayim kulanu beney adam
Under every sky we are all human beings
chayim im pachad baeynayim bechal gil uvchal zeman
Living with fear in our eyes at every age and every time
im tzaltzeli, ani lochesh lach, auf elayich kemo til
If you call, I whisper to you, I'll fly to you like a missile
lehatzil otcha mikol haresha, rak mi yatzil oti?
To save you from all the evil, but who will save me?
vegam im hayiti...
And even if I was...
