ani lo yodaat ma lomar veim bichlal keday
I don't know what to say or if it's even worth it
vehademaot hen mesaperot et hasipur
And the tears are the ones telling the story
betoch habalagen haze ani lo roe davar
Inside all this chaos I can't see a thing
ulay machar hakol yihye yoter barur
Maybe tomorrow everything will be clearer
tagid li elohim ata roe oti
Tell me, God, do you see me
ata margish et haetzev
Do you feel the sadness
ata roe eych shehakocha kevar nigmar
Do you see how the strength has run out
velifamim besof shel yom ani pitom nizkeret
And sometimes at the end of the day I suddenly remember
otzemet et haeynayim veshomaat otcha shar
I close my eyes and hear you singing
natati lach eynayim shetivki meosher o keev
I gave you eyes to cry from joy or pain
natati lo sefatayim sheyelachesh otach ani ohev
I gave him lips to whisper to you, I love you
natati sedot perachim
I gave fields of flowers
usdot kotzim shetilmedi lehizaher
And fields of thorns so you'd learn to be careful
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
ata mevin chaver hapachad memaker
You understand, my friend, fear is a familiar
lo ozev lerega
That doesn't leave for a moment
gam keshesamim nitzbaim achshav adom
Even when the skies now turn red
vechashehakol nire avud ani locheshet rega
And when everything seems lost, I whisper, a moment
ten bi or
Let there be light within me
natati lach eynayim shetivki meosher o keev
I gave you eyes to cry from joy or pain
natati lo sefatayim sheyelachesh otach ani ohev
I gave him lips to whisper to you, I love you
natati sedot perachim
I gave fields of flowers
usdot kotzim shetilmedi lehizaher
And fields of thorns so you'd learn to be careful
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
natati sedot perachim
I gave fields of flowers
usdot kotzim shetilmedi lehizaher
And fields of thorns so you'd learn to be careful
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
tistakeli lo baeynayim
Look him in the eyes
kol hashear hem havley haolam haze
All the rest is the vanity of this world
