Ech hazman shuv mizdachel lo kmo tsav
ech halailah shuv yored le'at le'at
ech hageshem shuv dofek lo al hagag
lo echpat shuv lihyot levad, levad.

Ken, hem shuv chozrim eleinu hayamim
hayamim ha'arukim ha'atsuvim
shuv eshkav levad boheh ba'ananim
bou chazarah yamim tovim.

Hashamayim mitkasim beyam ts'vaim
vehashemesh metsayeret igulim
ha'einaim me'irot kmo panasim
mishehu bachuts dorech al ha'alim.

Ken, hem shuv chozrim eleinu hayamim
hayamim ha'arukim ha'atsuvim
shuv eshkav levad hoheh ba'ananim
bou chazarah yamim tovim.

(the dance clip starts here)
Shuv olim tsafim otam hasipurim
sheshamati kshehayiti od katan.
akavish gadol toveh kurim dakim
mishehu sheyegaresh kvar et hatan.

Ken, hem shuv chozrim eleinu hayamim
hayamim ha'arukim ha'atsuvim
shuv eshkav levad hoheh ba'ananim
bou chazarah yamim tovim.

GOOD DAYS
THE LONG SAD DAYS

How time again crawls slowly like a tortoise,
how the night again sets slowly, slowly,
how the rain again knocks on the roof,
it again doesn't matter to be alone, alone.

Yes, again the days are returning to us,
the long, sad days,
again I'll lie down alone, empty in the clouds,
come back, the good days!

The sky is covered in a sea of colours
and the sun paints circles,
the eyes light up like lanterns,
someone outside is stepping on the leaves.

Yes, again the days are returning to us,
the long, sad days,
again I'll lie down alone, empty in the clouds,
come back, the good days!

(the dance clip starts here)
Again the floats are rising, the same stories
that I heard when I was still small.
A big turtle spins delicate webs,
oh that someone would drive away the jackal.

Yes, again the days are returning to us,
the long, sad days,
again I'll lie down alone, empty in the clouds,
come back, the good days!
