kesheata ozev kesheata holech
When you leave, when you go
shelecha mabat achora meever lakatef
Cast a glance backward over your shoulder
hachayim shelecha kemo tzel cholef
Your life is like a passing shadow
shetamid hu sham meav lakatef
That is always there, over your shoulder
kesheata nizkar ata mitatef
When you remember, you wrap yourself up
pachot ata nechsaf pachot ata chosef
You expose yourself less, you reveal yourself less
veata choshev lean hakol sochev
And you wonder where everything is being swept
shotef et haolam sheata kol kach ohev
Washing away the world you love so much
lo mizeman hayita yeled hair hoyta gam ken
Not long ago you were a child, the city was too
el hamigrash shel hagimnasya
You'd come to the schoolyard
hayita ba umitztayen
And you'd excel and shine
meaz hair godla verak makom bah eyn
Since then the city has grown and there's no room in it
veulay haben shelah matchil lehizdaken
And maybe its son is starting to age
kesheata shishim ata ketzat ayef
When you're sixty you're a little tired
yoter ata mashlim pachot ata rodef
You make peace with more, you chase less
basipur haze sheata kotev
In this story that you're writing
tamid oto mabat meever lakatef
Always that same glance over your shoulder
lo mizeman hayita yeled hair hoyta gam ken
Not long ago you were a child, the city was too
el hamigrash shel hagimnasya
You'd come to the schoolyard
hayita ba umitztayen
And you'd excel and shine
meaz hair godla verak makom bah eyn
Since then the city has grown and there's no room in it
veulay haben shelah matchil lehizdaken
And maybe its son is starting to age
kesheata ozev kesheata holech
When you leave, when you go
shelecha mabat achora meever lakatef
Cast a glance backward over your shoulder
