AL NA TISH'AL
DON'T ASK


Al na tish'al lo al tachkor,
matai higati lepo kama shanim ani chai
Heashir sofer shtarot hameuashar sofer shanim
Ein li tzorech lispor ein ma lispor
Im hashvil shel hachayim hu shomem umeyage'a
Ve'adam boded tzo'ed alav ze vadai ani, al tikra bishmi

Al na tish'al lo al tachkor, matai higati lepo kama shanim ani chai
Kol pa'am lehitatzev ein kol tzorech lehitarev
Ein li ein li davar ein li machar
Im lichyot ze rak lisbol az ani kvar ben alpayim
Im daka shel osher ze lichyot lo noladeti od lo noladeti od

Al tich'as alai chaver lu yacholti rak lesame'ach
Lu haya sipur acher aval ma la'asot ein li te'anot

Al na tish'al…..


Don't ask and don't find out how long I have lived, when did I get here
The rich man counts notes and happy man counts years
I don't need to count there is nothing to count
If the road of life is deserted and tired and a lonely person walks on it
It is probably me don't call out my name

Don't ask and don't find out how long I have lived, when did I get here
To be sad each time not getting involved
I have nothing, no tomorrow
If to live is to suffer I am already 2000 years old
If a minute of happiness is to live I haven't been born yet

Don't be angry with me my friend if I could make you happy
If there was another story
But there is nothing to do I don't have any complaints
