Vals Bachamesh Ushloshim

Waltz at Five Thirty

Copied!

vaadayin roked itech beroshi,

And still dancing with you in my head,

mabit bashaon vechimat chamesh ushloshim,

Checking the clock, nearly five thirty,

veim lo tagii ad shesh, etyaesh,

And if you don't arrive by six, I'll despair,

ach eemod po machar mul otam beroshim.

But I'll stand here tomorrow before those same cypress trees.

vaadayin ohev im hazeman, im kol tzaad

And still loving as time goes, with every step

vezocher od heytev eych at amarta:

And remembering well how you once said:

"acharey shetey peamim tovot baa paam,

"After two good times comes a time,

shehoreset otanu veaz ze nigmar".

That ruins us and then it's over".

venosea adayin beotah mechonit meshumeshet,

And I still travel in the same worn-out car,

karov levaday im manoa harus.

Most likely with a ruined engine.

veyodea sheeyn efsharut nosefet,

And I know there is no other option,

milevad lehatchil itech beoto harikud.

Other than to begin with you in the same dance.

vehakol mistachrer kemo susim doharim betoch cheder,

And everything spins like galloping horses inside a room,

somech al yadech, lo titeni li lipol betaut,

I trust your hand, you won't let me fall by mistake,

vaani metzatet kemo melumad mitoch sefer:

And I quote like a scholar from a book:

"sinderela sheli - nirkod venamut".

"My Cinderella — we'll dance and die".

venosea adayin...

And still traveling...

shemi hair adumim veat bi pogaat,

The city's skies are red and you wound me,

ushney yeladim tzochakim mehashir,

And two children laugh at the song,

ki eych at lo baa, eych at lo baa?

For how are you not coming, how are you not coming?

kavanu lirkod bechamesh ushloshim.

We agreed to dance at five thirty.
