by Shlomo Artzi

Copied!
shoshanim adumot veharbe
Red roses and many
meot simaney ahava mukarim
Hundreds of familiar signs of love
sefer shel chacham sini ave
A thick book by a Chinese sage
yom huledet esrim
Twentieth birthday
bimchonit betzeva kachol
In a car painted blue
nignavnu mul yam meod meusharim
We stole away by the sea so very happy
utzmudim rokdim basalon
And close together dancing in the living room
leyom huledet sheloshim
For the thirtieth birthday
gam lifamim
And sometimes
ani od zocher yom huledet tamid
I still remember every birthday always
hidlakti lecha ner
I lit you a candle
vegam lifamim
And sometimes
hayinu shokim betoch arfilim
We'd sink into a fog
etzel achat shekoret machshavot veachat bakafe
At a woman who reads minds and one at a cafe
halachnu lehavin
We went to understand
eych lishmor al atzmenu bevo
How to preserve ourselves when
yom huledet arbaim
The fortieth birthday comes
az chibakti otach lefatzot
So I hugged you to make up
keshebikashta lecha limtzo
When you asked to find
margoa laguf
Rest for the body
al mizron mul yam veatzot shachavnu
On a mattress by the sea and seaweed we lay
gam lifamim
And sometimes
ani od zocher yom huledet tamid
I still remember every birthday always
hidlakti lecha ner
I lit you a candle
vegam lifamim
And sometimes
hayinu shokim betoch arfilim
We'd sink into a fog
shoshanim adumot, veharbe achshav betoch shir
Red roses, and many now within a song
hakol metoad
Everything is documented
od meat nachgog basade, yom huledet mea
Soon we'll celebrate in the field, a hundredth birthday
yom huledet, yom huledet
Happy birthday, happy birthday
yom huledet, yom huledet
Happy birthday, happy birthday
shoshanim adumot veharbe
Red roses and many
veod simaney ahava mukarim
And more familiar signs of love
yom huledet samecha lecha
Happy birthday to you
