ZMANIM KTANIM
SMALL MOMENTS

 

Achshav shemachlitim lehifared,
lifnei she'at holechet mashira oti boded,
ted'i lach shehayu beneinu kama rega'im

nora k'tsarim aval meod yafim
nifgashnu bemikre bashuk soen
bikashti az sigaria va'ani lo me'ashen tsachaknu
ki achar kach hishta'alti ledakah
amart: "ata chamud ani modah"

ze nachon kvar lo cholem alaich
av lamrot hakol hayu beneinu rega'im
lif'amim ani echshov alaich
ani ezkor otanu yachad bizmanim ktanim.

Zocheret hakarit shenikra'ah
notsot shehitfazru bacheder veal hamitah
veshneinu hitatsh'nu yachad bekaze teyum
chashavnu she af pa'am lo nakum
achar kach nitka'ah mechonit
shalosh baboker geshem
ve'ein zecher lemonit
yashavnu retuvim betachanat hamerkazit
dibarnu filosofia kiyumit.

ze nachon kvar lo cholem alaich
av lamrot hakol hayu beneinu rega'im
lif'amim ani echshov alaich
ani ezkor otanu yachad bizmanim ktanim.

Halacnu l'koret bechaf hayad
amra lanu: "tisharu beyachad o levad"
shilamnu la lamrot shektsat hirgashnu m'romim
chipasnu agalot bekochavim.

Ze nachon kvar lo cholem alaich
av lamrot hakol hayu beneinu rega'im
lif'amim ani echshov alaich
ani ezkor otanu yachad bizmanim ktanim.

Ze nachon kvar lo cholem alaich
av lamrot hakol hayu beneinu regashot
lif'amim ani echshov alaich
tarimi pa'am telefon vetitni li chadashot mimech.
Now that we're deciding to separate
before you go leave me alone,
know that there were between us some moments,

Dreadfully short but very beautiful,
we met at the event at the noisy market,
I asked for a cigarette and I don't even smoke,
we laught 'cuz afterwards I coughed for a minute,
you said: "you are cute, I admit."

It's true I no longer dream of you
but despite everything there were between us moments
sometimes I will think of you
I'll remember us together for small moments.

Do you remember the pillow that broke,
feathers scattered in the room and on the bed,
and the two of us sneezed in unison
we thought we'll never wake up.
After that, the car got stuck
three in the morning,
rain and no thought of a taxi,
we sat drenched at the central station,
talking existential philosophy.

It's true I no longer dream of you
but despite everything there were between us moments
sometimes I will think of you
I'll remember us together for small moments.

We went to a palmreader,
she told us: "you'll stay together or alone"
we paid despite feeling a little ripped off
we looked for circles in the stars.

It's true I no longer dream of you
but despite everything there were between us moments
sometimes I will think of you
I'll remember us together for small moments.

It's true I no longer dream of you
but despite everything there were between us feelings
sometimes I will think of you pick up the phone sometime
and give me news of you.

Momentini

Ci separiamo adesso, sai com'è,
ma prima che mi lasci e te ne vada via da me,
abbiam vissuto, sappi, certi momentini,
momenti tanto brevi che carini.

Ci siamo incontrati in un bazar.
T'ho chiesto una col filtro e sai che io non so fumar.
Ridemmo, ‘ché ho tossito un minuto e forse più.
M'hai detto: “Sei un simpaticone, tu!”.

Non ti sogno come un tempo, è vero,
eppure momentini ci son stati fra di noi.
Alle volte ci farò un pensiero:
è sempre bello ricordarsi del passato, poi.

Ricordi? Il cuscino si squarciò.
La piume sparpagliate sopra il letto e sul comò
E noi che incominciammo all'unisono a starnutir
E, lì distesi, a rider da morir.

Poi, quando ci si ruppe lo chassis.
Le tre di notte, pioggia, senza l'ombra di un tassì.
Sedemmo alla stazione, zuppi, l'alba ad aspettar,
di Esistenzialismo a chiacchierar.

Non ti sogno...

Da una chiromante poi s'andò.
Ci disse: “resterete sempre insieme, oppure no!”.
Sentendoci fregati, accettammo di pagar,
poi andammo il Grande Carro ad osservar.

Non ti sogno...

Non ti sogno come un tempo, è vero,
eppur ci son stati sentimenti tra di noi.
Alle volte ci farò un pensiero,
se alzi la cornetta, fammi un colpo, se lo vuoi.
