You know that for a long time

There are no angels in the world
im raita malach shemanman
If you saw a chubby angel

He's in your dream
malach shemanman haya poched
A chubby angel would be afraid
lehistovev bivrit olam
To wander in the covenant of the world
hamalachim hem am oved
The angels are a working people
olim yordim basulam
Climbing and descending the ladder
yesh lecha teva shekeze
You have a nature like that
lehatzitz meachorey haananim
To peek from behind the clouds
uvisfatayim duvdevan tamid lomar
And with cherry lips always to say
lomar li:
To say to me:
yesh malach
There is an angel
ani raiti sham malach kaze tamim
I saw an angel there, such an innocent one
vehu chich eley lifney shehu halach
And he smiled at me before he left

There are no princes in the big city

If you saw a little prince
hu bachalom shelecha
He's in your dream
ani zocher nasich katan
I remember a little prince
basefer nehdar
In a wonderful book
aval hu af veneelam
But he flew and disappeared
veeleynu lo chazar
And to us he didn't return
yesh lecha teva shekeze...
You have a nature like that...

For a long time now I am lonely

Tell me what you saw, little girl

This encourages me

One charming chubby angel

And a wandering bird

A golden prince, a little prince
