IMA SHELI - Arik Einstein


MY MOTHER

Yesh li ishah she'ohevet oti,
hi rak sheli.
Hi mekirah oti mehatchalah
sheli shelah.
Hi muchrecha lihyot chachamah -
ima sheli
ve'et hashir ani shar bishvilah.

Ima, ima,
at hinakt oti,
at pinakt oti,
at hevet oti,
ima, ima,
at pinakt oti,
at hevet oti,
at.

Kamah yamim shebiliti itah -
ima sheli.
Kamah dma'ot shemechiti itah -
sheli shelah.
Kamah dvarim shegiliti itah -
ima sheli.
Kamah tikvot shetaliti itah.

Ima, ima...

Tamid hayit iti
gam k'shehayiti levadi.
Tamid ehyeh itach -
ima sheli.

Yesh lif'amim she'ani batzarot -
ima sheli.
At mevinah et zeh bein hashurot
sheli shelach
lamah do'eget velo yeshenah -
ima sheli.
Ech zeh she'im lo somechet al b'nah?

Ima, ima...
