EICH AF HAZMAN
HOW TIME FLIES

 

Eich over lo, ratz hazman
Mei'az shebat lechan
Chalfu berega she'atayim.
Kol taltal gonev sha'a, sfatayich yemama
Eich af hazman!

Kor chodar le'atzmotai,
Vegeshem ad b'li dai
Ve'at harei higat bakayitz.
Eich hachoref vehastav
Cholfim, cholfim bi'af
Kenid af'af shelach.

Eich over lo, ratz hazman
Mamash lo ye'uman.
Koleich heivi et ha'arbayim.
Eich zeh kawl hashe'onim
Yotz'im min hakelim?
Eich af hazman!

Kor choder le'atzmotai,
Vegeshem ad b'li dai
Ve'at harei higat bakayitz
Rak chiyuch shelach yashiv
Gam or chama mazhiv
Shel ha'aviv kulo.

Lo hispakt lomar mila
Bachutz kvar afela.
Olam mizman otzem einayim.
Ad shepo tukam chupa
Nachog esrim shana.
Eich af hazman!

Kor choder le'atzmotai,
Vegeshem ad b'li dai
Ve'at harei higat bakayitz.

Eich over lo ratz hazman
Shuv lo telchi mikan
Mikan od le'olam!

How time passes, runs by
Since you came here
Two hours passed in an instant.
Each curl steals an hour, your lips 24 hours
How time flies!

Cold seeps into my bones,
And rain without end
And after all, you came in the summer.
How the winter and autumn
Pass, pass by in a second
Like a wink of your eyelid.

How time passes, runs by
Really - not to be believed.
Your voice brings on the twilight.
How is it that all the clocks
Are going crazy?
How time flies!

Cold seeps into my bones,
And rain without end
And after all, you came in the summer.
Only your smile will also restore
The golden sunlight
Of the entire spring.

You didn't get a chance to say a word,
Outside it's already dark
The world closed its eyes a while ago.
Until a chupah (wedding canopy) is set up here -
Twenty years will go around.
How time flies!

Cold seeps into my bones,
And rain without end
And after all you came in the summer.

How time passes, runs by
You'll never go away from here again
Never [leave here] again!
