balayla shuv kibalti ometz
At night I found courage again
lakum limrod bemashehu
To rise and rebel against something
lavo chazak mitoch hachoshech
To come on strong from the darkness
laasot et hashinuy
To make the change
hibatti beeyney hakelev
I looked into the dog's eyes
uvaoyev hachi sanu
And at the most hated enemy
chashavti haolam beyt kele
I thought the world is a prison
ze lo chochma lihyot atzuv
It's no feat to be sad
af paam lo haya li ometz
I never had the courage
lischov itecha chatzi chay met
To drag along with you, half alive half dead
kemo bashir hamefursam shel haholis
Like in the famous song by The Hollies
et achi, ata lo kaved
You're my brother, you're not heavy
boded boded ach populari
Lonely lonely but popular
mechof hayam beistanbul
From the beach in Istanbul
katavta li choshev aleycha
You wrote me, thinking of you
katavti lecha, choshev kaful
I wrote back, thinking double
uvkarov ahava lachashti lach
And soon, love, I whispered to you
uvkarov yavo aviv
And soon spring will come
halevay yihye lanu od yom mutzlach
I wish we'd have another good day
sheet chayeynu kan yaif
That would blow our lives away
demaot yordot al hayekum
Tears falling on the universe
beyntayim
In the meantime
halev sheli rotze kadur
My heart wants the world
beyntayim
In the meantime
veometz, od paam ometz
And courage, courage once more
keshekelum kevar lo dome lichlum
When nothing resembles anything anymore
balayla shuv kibalti ometz
At night I found courage again
lehitahev becha bamahut
To fall in love with you in essence
chayeycha chich, lachashta bachoshech
Smile, smile, you whispered in the dark
rak biglolcha chichti shuv
Only because of you I smiled again
achar kach keshehoradat kutonet
Afterward when you took off your nightgown
rak hitkaravti kedey lomar
I only came closer to say
toda lecha shenatata li ometz
Thank you for giving me the courage
lichyot keilu yesh machar
To live as if there's a tomorrow
uvkarov ahava lachashti lach
And soon, love, I whispered to you
uvkarov yavo aviv
And soon spring will come
halevay yihye lanu od yom mutzlach
I wish we'd have another good day
sheet chayeynu kan yaif
That would blow our lives away
demaot yordot al hayekum
Tears falling on the universe
beyntayim
In the meantime
halev sheli rotze kadur
My heart wants the world
beyntayim
In the meantime
veometz, od paam ometz
And courage, courage once more
keshekelum kevar lo dome lichlum
When nothing resembles anything anymore
