STAM YOM SHEL CHOL
JUST AN ORDINARY WEEKDAY


Stam yom shel chol im boker kachol
Bli chag umachol bli chatzotzrot vatof
Klum lo kara aval na'ara chiycha beovra,
perach liktof sham al hachof.

Yom ragil im or vagil pshutim kefat shel lechem
Yom pashut bison hashuk vega'ash hamidrechet
Yom gavo'ah venisa al gagot chevley kvisa
Umechuspas ka'asfalt shebakvishim
Ach muzar ech yom kaze mitpa'em lo bachaze
Umitnotzetz be'eney ha'anashim

Stam yom shel chol im boker kachol
Bli chag umachol yom ben yamim shavim
Or lo gavar aval baparvar
Avar hadavar im michtavim laohavim

Yom amal mirtzif namal ad arubot charoshet
Yom bahir miktzot hair ve'ad michrot hanchoshet
Yom shel osher ad dma'ot al lechey ha'imahot
Hamefazmot bagalim shirey chiba
Ki adain kayamim ba'olam hazeh yamim
Shetzochkim bam pashut lelo siba

Stam yom shel chol....

Just an ordinary day with blue sky,
no holiday no trumpets or drums
Nothing happened,
only a girl smiled passing by,
to pick a flower on the beach

An ordinary day with light and joy,
simple as a piece of bread
Simple day with the market noise
and crowded streets
A day with washing hanging on high roofs
Isn't it strange how a day like that beats
together with our hearts
And shines through people's eyes

Just an ordinary day with blue sky,
no holiday, a day like many others
No big deal, just the postmen in the suburbs
delivering letters for lovers

A working day from the sheds in the docks
to the chimneys of factories
A bright day from the skirts of the city
to the copper mines
A day of tears of happiness
in the young mothers' faces
Singing songs to their children
Because there are still days in this world,
that you laugh with no reason.
