ABA - Shlomi Shabat
Aba, chaver amar li lichtov shir alecha
Al kol ma shera’iti befanecha
Al hashalva lelo milim
Hanichochot vehatzlilim
Hakol haya kol kach yafe be’enaecha
Aba, zocher et hashvilim levet hasefer
Et kol hamanginot mitoch hacheder
Kshehikshavta ech ani shar
Im hamabat hame’ushar
Vehachiyuch hamistater ben sfatecha
Aba, al hadrachim sheko ahavta letape’ach
Ani halachti venisiti lenatze’ach
Velo tamid hevanti ech
Ki lo hakol holech
Ani shone mimcha aval me’od kamocha
Aba, habayit hayashan mizman enenu
Avarnu, hitkadamnu, hishtanenu
Umemal’im et echaser
Befartzufim domim yoter
Lema shekol chashav shecahser lo
Aba, al hadrachim…..
Aba, hazman avar velo dibarnu
Aba, slach li
Lakach li zman kdey lehavin – ata shayach li
Kmo she’ani shayach lecha
Kmo she’ani ohev otcha
Bo lo nishmor bifnim yoter unedaber
Aba, chaver amar li lichtov shir alecha

DAD
Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you
About everything I saw in your eyes
About the calm without words
The scents, the sounds
All of it was so beautiful in your eyes
Dad, remember the roads to school
All the melodies out of the room
When you listened to how I sing
With a happy look
And the smile hiding between your lips
Dad, the paths you loved to care for
I tried to win over you
I didn’t always understand how
Things will not always work out
I am different from you, but so much like you
Dad, the old house is no longer there
We have moved, have advanced, have changed
We fill the missing gaps
With more familiar faces
Whatever each one of us thought missing
Dad, the paths……
Dad, time has passed and we didn’t talk
Dad, forgive me
It took me time to understand – you belong to me
Like I belong to you
Like I love you
Let’s not keep it inside, lets talk
Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you
