makir achat mitel aviv, shelo ozva otah tamid veze kore lemi shechay beshelo,
I know a woman from Tel Aviv, who never left it and that happens to those who live at their own pace,
haya li cheder baaviv haya li etz kimat sheli,
I had a room in spring, I had a tree almost mine,
achshav nisharti rak im eyze chalom.
Now I am left with only some dream.
vaani lo yodea, lifamim mishtagea, mi ze dofek al dalti?
And I don't know, sometimes I go crazy, who is that knocking on my door?
zot sheeynena, beynenu odena, mafria et menuchati.
She who is no longer, between us is still there, disturbing my rest.
uga betaam shokolad, taam shokolad, pelus rega ahava nadir
A chocolate-flavored cake, chocolate flavor, plus a rare moment of love
gaguim lefikaso shetzir ad hasof, shadayim gedolim shel nashim.
Longing for Picasso who painted to the end, the large breasts of women.
simi li bape uga shel shokolad a a...
Put a chocolate cake in my mouth ah ah...
kore shehatzarot shel haolam shuv noflot, al ketefi hatzarot, kemo til,
It happens that the world's troubles again fall, on my troubled shoulders, like a missile,
vechacha ze nimshach, ani shuv ohev otach, ufitom at lo ohevet oti.
And so it goes on, I love you again, and suddenly you don't love me.
vaani lo yodea, pashut mishtagea, mi ze oto elohim,
And I don't know, I'm simply going crazy, who is that same God,
safarti ad mea vehu lo hofia, ze pateti kevar lehaamin.
I counted to a hundred and he didn't appear, it's already pathetic to believe.
uga betaam shokolad, taam shokolad, pelus rega ahava nadir
A chocolate-flavored cake, chocolate flavor, plus a rare moment of love
gaguim lefikaso shetzir ad hasof, shadayim gedolim shel nashim.
Longing for Picasso who painted to the end, the large breasts of women.
simi li bape uga shel shokolad a a...
Put a chocolate cake in my mouth ah ah...
o tikvot, o od ketzat od, ken ken teni li et ze memutak,
Or hope, or just a little more, yes yes give me that sweetened,
kol chayay al chevel dak, nitak.
All my life on a thin rope, snapped.
makir achat betel aviv, shenirdemet mukdam, bachalomot shelah ani od roked,
I know a woman in Tel Aviv, who falls asleep early, in her dreams I still dance,
siperu li ta'chim, aval lo et motam, omru tavin keshetihye kevar zaken.
They told me about life, but not about death, they said you'll understand when you're old.
vaani lo yodea, ani pashut mishtagea, mi ze dofek al dalti,
And I don't know, I'm simply going crazy, who is that knocking on my door,
zot sheeynena, beynenu odena, mafria et menuchati.
She who is no longer, between us is still there, disturbing my rest.
