ketav yodcha halo mukar li, vekolcha hamehapenet
Your handwriting unfamiliar to me, and your hypnotizing voice
tziltzulcha hatelefoni, shichnea oti latzet
Your phone call, convinced me to go out
mehabayit hacham el horchov hakashe, el haolam.
From my warm home to the harsh street, to the world.
hitpalteli keshekarata li
I writhed when you called me
ki asur haya li az
Because it was forbidden for me then
lefaresh et simaneycha keotot shel ahava
To read your signs as signs of love
kevar shachachti matay afti
I've already forgotten when I flew
umatay et kol chushi ibadti kach.
And when I lost all my senses like this.
haim samta lev ani bikashti, rak devarim sheeyn
Did you notice I asked for, only things that don't exist
mekomot avudim simanim shel esh
Lost places signs of fire
chayay betel-aviv, hesderim romantiyim
My life in Tel-Aviv, the romantic arrangements
hitbonnut penimit uma sheheemanti
Inner contemplation and what I believed
kach yatzati el haderech, keshehigati bati
So I set out on the road, when I arrived I came
neemadti badelet ma yadati lo yadati
I stood at the door what did I know I didn't know
hitpashatti vezazti kemo metoraf bacheder
I undressed and moved like a madman in the room
elohim amarta shavua tishaer po
God you said stay here a week
gam ani hirgashti kach,
I felt the same way too,
ki ani nivreti lach.
Because I was created for you.
anashim shelo omdu baketzev hachayim haze
People who couldn't keep up with the pace of this life
hishtageu, hitabedu o holchu laazazel
Went crazy, killed themselves or went to hell
bachashecha babayit hacham, ze kore.
In the darkness in the warm home, it happens.
