BEFORE PARTING

Lifnei sheh nifradim
otzrim leod daka
Hayad eina reika
sholchim od neshika
Shelo shochachim bein yedidim

Lifnei sheh nifradim
bizman kibuy orot
Dolkot bein hashurot
einaim medabrot
Shelo shochachim bein yedidim

(CHORUS twice)

Ve lachen ksheh hamasach yered
Anachnu nipared
Ad ha paam ha baah
Rak ad ha paam ha baah

Lifnei sheh nifradim
chovkim zerei prachim
Et ha dima mochim
vekhama chiyuchim
She lo shochachim bein yedidim

Lifnei sheh nifradim
hasof karev uva
Chashim et hakirva
betom shaa tova
She lo shochachim bein yedidim

Before we part,
we pause for another moment
The hand is not empty,
we send another kiss
Which we don’t forget, among friends.

Before we part,
at the time for turning out the lights
Shining between the rows,
the eyes are speaking
Which we don’t forget, among friends.

(CHORUS twice)

And so, when the curtain falls,
we shall part
Until next time,
only until next time

Before we part,
clasping bouquets of flowers,
Wiping away tears,
and some smiles,
Which we don’t forget, among friends.

Before we part,
the end comes closer,
Feeling the closeness,
in the wholeness of the hour,
Which we don’t forget, among friends.


[REPEAT CHORUS]
