Yaldah kol kach yafah, aval sh'nataim
et mabatah efshar hayah lenachesh/hi lo ra'atah oti mamash

GIRL WITH GLASSES

GIRL WEARING GLASSES 

I once loved a girl with glasses
that saw me a bit blurry
a girl so pretty, but two years
she didn't exactly see me

Because of these windows of hers
we didn't manage to meet
she looked at me as though from prison
her look could only be guessed

With glasses, the things we did
we were close going out and down hills
but as close as we were -
we always had glass between us

I once loved a girl with glasses...

She did not see me for almost two years
one day she got up and left
she said: "I was without glasses
and he looked so much like you..."

With glasses, the things we did...

A girl so pretty, but two years
her look could only be guessed/she didn't exactly see me
