AHAVAH KTSARAH
BRIEF LOVE

 

Mah at menasah lomar
lo echpat li mah
me'uchar kol kach achshav
ve'ein kan ahavah.
Mabatim nifgashim
ve'anachnu shnei zarim.

At hayit yafah kol kach
az bamesibah,
be'einaich hashtuyot
hits'at li ahavah
ha'orot amumim
ve'anachnu kvar ozvim.

Ruach bas'derah,
at kan letsidi,
laylah ya'avor
beveitech o beveiti,
uvin'gi'ah
yesh bah gam tikvah
she'at ha'achat shechipasti bedarki.

Aval ze sipur nosaf
shel ahavah ktsarah,
veha'esh sheba'arah.
Kim'at miyad kavtah
bli ke'ev, bli dma'ot,
kan darkeinu nifredot.

Shuv lama'agal
bo ani lachud
ben lokeach bat
veroked itah rikud
shuv mehatchalah
delet tipatach
uchshe'ekanes, leheichan ani nichnas?

Bli ke'ev, bli dma'ot
kan darkeinu nifredot.

What are you trying to say
I don't care what
it's quite late now
and there's no love here
stares meet
and we're too strangers.

You were so pretty
back then at the party
in your drunken eyes
you offered me love
the lights are dim
and we're already leaving.

A wind in the tree lane,
you're here by my side
the night will pass
in your house or mine
and in its arrival
there's hope in it too
that you're the one I searched for on my path.

But that's an extra story
of a short love
and the fire that burned
almost immediately burnt out
without pain, tears
here are ways separate.

Again to the circle
that I'm captured in
a son takes a daughter
and dances a dance with her
again from the begining
the door will open
and when I will go in, where am I going to?

Without pain, tears
here our ways separate.
