ZEH KOL HAKESEM

SPANNING HER WINGS

PORESET KNAFAYIM   (dance name)  
 

Mistaklim alai kol hazman
Ma hem rotzim ma echpat li ba'etzem
Omrim li she'ani chatzi bem adam
Vehi chetzi meshuga'at
Bal ze kol hakessem

Keshe'ani roe otach
Ani ro'e et ma sheba li lirot, otach
Kmo she'at beshe'at poresset knafayim

Ani tzayar ve'at zameret be'erim aduma
Ani muchan ve'at rokedet betoch haneshama
Ve'ein davar yoter kachon me'ota haneshima

Kama zman ani cholemet behakayitz
Mishtadelet lahatzitz
Aval ani klum be'einayim
Gam milim hein reikot kmo ha'avir she'ani noshefet
Kol halayla nishemet venoshefet
Mitada leshamayim

Keshe'ani roeh otach
Ani ro'e et ma sheba li lirot, otach
Kmo she'at beshe'at poresset knafayim

Ata tzayar va'at zameret be'erim aduma
Ani muchan ve'at rokedet betoch haneshama
Ve'ein davar yoter kachon me'ota haneshima

They look at me all the time,
What do they what, what actually bothers me,
They tell me I'm half a man,
and she's half crazy
but this is the whole magic.

When I see you
I see what i want to see, you
as though you span your wings.

I'm a painter and you're a singer, burning red
I'm ready as you're dancing inside the soul
and there's nothing more right from that breath.

How much time I dream in the summer,
I try to peep
but I'm nothing in the eyes,
Even words are empty like the air that i'm breathing
the whole night I'm breathing in and out
from the ground to the sky.

When I see you
I see what i want to see, you
as though you span your wings.

I'm a painter and you're a singer, burning red
I'm ready as you're dancing inside the soul
and there's nothing more right from that breath.
