KMO SHE'AT
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
 

Im rak hayit omeret miktzeh ha'olam
hayiti melaket lach pninim min hayam
Nose otach el eretz acheret e lo kayam.

Im rak hayit omeret misof hamidbar
hayiti mevakesh lach machrozet inbar
Ach bashtika shelach ha'erev - ein li davar

Ve'uali lu hefart et hasheket me'at
ve'ulai lu nishart kan bacheder levad
Uali pashut avi lach shoshana
hamistageret la kan bagina
Kmo she'at ktzat levad kmo she'at

Im rak hayit omeret betoch hamerchav
hayiti ma'amik el michrot hazahav
Mevi lach et avney haderech ish me'ohav.

Im rak hayit omeret migova ha'har
hayiti mechabek lach kochav sheyizhar
Ach bashtika shelach ha'erev ein li davar

Ve'ulai….

Im rak hayit omeret ma yesh al libech
velama hu ha'etzev al ma hu ve'ech
Hakol haya nir'e acheret at lo levadech
Im rak hayit omeret ad sof hamidbar
hayiti megaresh et hata'am hamar
Ach bashtika shelach ha'erev ein li davar

Ve'ulai…..

If you would only say I will go to the end of the world
To bring you pearls from the sea
And take you to another country to an unknown island

If you would only say I will go to the end of the desert
To bring you a necklace made of amber
But you are silent tonight and I can't do much

And maybe if you would break the silence
or if you would be here on your own
May be I will just bring you a rose
that hides itself in the garden
Just the way you are a bit alone

If you would just tell me to go deep down
I would go to the gold mines and bring you gold,
bring you the stones of the journey - I am a man in love

If you would only say I will go to the top of the mountain
And get you a star that will shine
But you are silent tonight and I can't do much

And maybe.....

If you would only say what is on your heart
why are you so sad
It would have looked different you are not on your own

If you would only say I would chase away the bad taste
But you are silent tonight and I can't do much

And maybe.....
