mi yodea kama taltalim
Who knows how many curls
yordim meal mitzchech, golshim galim galim.
Cascade across your brow, flowing wave upon wave.
nisiti kevar lispor otam echad echad,
I have already tried to count them one by one,
ach im ashir al kol taltal - hen lo egmor laad. mi yodea kama
But if I were to sing of every curl, I would never be done. Who knows how many
mi yodea kama
Who knows how many
mi yodea eych velama? mi yodea kama nemashim zeruim al ketze apecha - lo shenayim, lo shishim.
Who knows how and why? Who knows how many freckles are scattered across the tip of your nose, not two, not sixty.
afilu im ertze al kol echad lashir
Even if I wanted to sing of each one
eyni yodea im yaspiku kol batey hashir. mi yodea kama. mi yodea kama mizmorim
I do not know if all the verses in the world would suffice. Who knows how many. Who knows how many hymns
kevar sharu lecha ad ko - ani vaacherim.
Have already been sung for you until now, by me and by others.
hagidi, kama kevar bemabotcha sinvart
Tell me, how many have you dazzled with a single glance
vechama kama medurot shelo kavu hivarta? mi yodea kama. mi yodea kama levavot
And how many bonfires that have never gone out have you kindled? Who knows how many. Who knows how many hearts
shavarta lelo rachem - ulay kevar revavot.
You have broken without mercy, perhaps already by the tens of thousands.
im rak atchil lispor - agia ad eyn sof
If I were to begin counting I would reach infinity
ki kol shivrey halevavot lo yisofru merov. mi yodea kama.
For all the broken hearts are too many to number. Who knows how many.
