ACH'REI HAKOL AT SHIR

AT SHIR 

 

Achrey hakol at shir,
Lo od basar vadam,
Lo od isha chaya,
Aval at shir kayam.
Vehu atuf milim,
Milim umangina,
Veketzev mesuyam,
Achrey hakol - at shir kayam.

Az lifamim kshekar li,
Besheket mityashev itach,
Veshar bli milim -
Ani shar li.
Achrey hakol, at shir,
at shir nichtav.
Kol hamilim she'at lachasht bi,
Kol hamilim she'at lachasht -
Hen shir achshav,
Ohevet, ve'od mah
Shechashavt bi,
Milim, milim, milim beshir nichtav.

Ani karov bashir
Kmo haneshima,
Beahava niftach,
Umistayem bema?
Unesayem bemi?
Ulai bach, ulai bi?
Ulai bli milim,
Achrey hakol, achshav at shir sheli.

AFTER ALL YOU ARE A SONG

YOU ARE A SONG 

After all you are a song
Not flesh and blood
No more a live woman
But you are an existing song
And it is wrapped in words,
Words and melody
And a special rhythm
After all you are an existing song

So sometimes when I am cold,
quietly I sit down with you ,
And sing without words
I sing to my self
After all you are a song,
a song that is being written
All the words you whispered to me,
all the words you whispered
They are a song now
Loving, and what else
that you thought of me,
words, words, words in a written song.

I am close to the song
like breathing
it opens up in love
and finishes in “what?”
And finishes in “who?”
Maybe in me or in you
May be with no words
After all, now you are my song.
