yesh bi chalomot ani cholem harbe
I have dreams, I dream a lot
meguvanim hem bechal miney tzevaim
They are varied in all kinds of colors
yesh bi retzonot ani rotze harbe
I have desires, I want a lot
vechama sherotze yoter lo sava leolam
And the more I want, the more I'm never satisfied
yesh bi zichronot ani zocher harbe
I have memories, I remember a lot
chelkam tovim uvchelek taam mar
Some are good and some taste bitter
yesh bi gam pechadim ani poched lo ketzat
I also have fears, I'm quite afraid
vehem nogim bi nogim bechal davar
And they touch me, touch everything
verak chalom echad chashuv hachalom sheat tihyi bo
And only one dream matters — the dream where you are in it
veratzon echad rotze shetihyi po kol hazeman
And one desire — I want you here all the time
pachad echad kayam bi shetetzi li mechayay
One fear exists in me — that you'll leave my life
vezikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
And one perfect memory — that's you and me
zikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
One perfect memory — that's you and me
yesh bi havtachot hivtachti dey harbe
I have promises, I've promised quite a lot
chelkam kimti vechelkam lakach hazeman
Some I kept and some took time
yesh li chaverim ani chaver harbe
I have friends, I'm a good friend
ach kesheyechabe haor ulay yeolmu kulam
But when the lights go out maybe they'll all disappear
yesh lean ligdol ani gadel harbe
There's room to grow, I grow a lot
vechama sheyoter gadel, haseviv nihye katan
And the more I grow, the world around becomes smaller
yesh bi chalonot darkam borecha dey harbe
I have windows through which I escape quite a lot
vechama sherachok elech tamid echezor lechan
And however far I go, I'll always return here
ki rak chalom echad chashuv hachalom sheat tihyi bo
Because only one dream matters — the dream where you are in it
veratzon echad rotze shetihyi po kol hazeman
And one desire — I want you here all the time
pachad echad kayam bi shetetzi li mechayay
One fear exists in me — that you'll leave my life
vezikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
And one perfect memory — that's you and me
chalom echad chashuv chalom sheat tihyi bo
One dream matters — the dream where you are in it
veratzon echad rotze shetihyi po kol hazeman
And one desire — I want you here all the time
pachad echad kayam bi shetetzi li mechayay
One fear exists in me — that you'll leave my life
vezikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
And one perfect memory — that's you and me
rak zikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
Only one perfect memory — that's you and me
oy zikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
Oh, one perfect memory — that's you and me
zikaron echad mushlam ze at vaani
One perfect memory — that's you and me
yesh bi chalomot ani cholem harbe
I have dreams, I dream a lot
