AHAVAH ASURAH
FORBIDDEN LOVE

 

 

Mul kochavim shemistaklim,
roshech moneach alai,
mul kochavim shemistaklim,
libech niftach elai,
ani ve'at guf echad
bor'chim shuv bechashai
Lach ish acher veli ishah,
namshich kach ad matai?

Mul kochavim
libi zo'ek chabek oti chazak,
mul kochavim
libi chosheh ahuv oti le'ad,
velo nachshov al hamachar
nichyeh rak et hayom,
nishkach et kol ma shemutar
ne'ehav kmo bachalom.

Elohim, ma yihyeh
hake'ev kol yom gadel?
elohim, ma yihyeh belibi ani sho'el?
Nifgashim bachatsot lo yod'im mah la'asot,
ohavim, lo choshvim veshomerim hakol besod.

Had'maot shemitpartsot omrot kim'at hakol,
lach isha,
veli yesh ish,
kach ad matai nisbol?

Ani ve'at me'ohavim nevishchafim leat,
Ani ve'at shuv mitkarvim ach margishim levad.
Libi shelcha aval gufi hu gam shel ish acher,
ani itchcha ach al beiti kasheh li levater.
Zot ahavah lelo tikvah,
vemah yihyeh hasof?
Nashki oti, chabki oti
kdei she'afsik lachsov.

Elohim, ma yihyeh
hake'ev kol yom gadel?
elohim, ma yihyeh belibi ani sho'el?
Nifgashim bachatsot lo yod'im mah la'asot,
ohavim, lo choshvim veshomerim hakol besod.
Under the watchful stars,
your head rests on me,
under the watchful stars,
your heart is opened to me,
you and I, one body,
running away again from my senses,
you have another man, and I have another woman
until when will we continue like this?

Under the stars,
my heart screams hug me strongly,
under the stars,
my heart says love me forever
and we won't think about tomorrow,
we'll live only for today
we'll forget what's permitted,
we'll love like in a dream.

G-d, Elohim, what will be,
the pain increases each day?
G-d, what will be I ask in my heart?
Meeting at midnight, not knowing what to do,
loving, not thinking and keeping all in secret.

The tears that are running tell almost everything,
you have a woman,
and I have a man,
how long will be suffer like this?

You and I are in love and slowly sinking,
You and I are again getting closer but feeling alone,
My heart is yours but my body is also another man's, I'm with you but it's hard for me to give up my home,
This is a love without hope,
and what will be the end?
Kiss me, hug me,
so I stop to think.

G-d, Elohim, what will be,
the pain increases each day?
G-d, what will be I ask in my heart?
Meeting at midnight, not knowing what to do,
loving, not thinking and keeping all in secret.
