HASHOVENIST

Im rak tistapri ani elaich ech'zor
lu rak hayit blondinit aval se'arech hu shachor
ulai tasimi odem lehablit t'shukatech
ani hashovenist she'omed bedarkech

Yatzat la'avod ratzit karierah g'dolah
chazarti habaitah achuz behalah
hervacht yoter mimeni az natnu lach ashrai
listom li t'apeh ulemarer et chayay -

Hayiti hagever harishon shehevi otach halom
she'azar lach lachalom
hegshamti lach chalom
hayiti hagever ham'yuchad shebasof nish'ar levad
im titnatzli bich'tav
ani chozer achshav elaich

Lamad't minhal venatnu lach to'ar rishon
nisit lenahel et chayay bli cheshbon
k'shekulam la'agu li zeh nishma lach tipshi
ki ani shovenist velokeh benafshi -

Hayiti hagever harishon...

THE SHAUVINIST

If only you you'll cut your hair I'll return to you
if only you were a blonde but your hair is black
perhaps you'll put on lipstick to stress your desire
I'm the shauvinist standing in your way

You went out to work, you wanted a big career
I returned home grasped by panic
you earned more than me then they gave you credit
to shut my mouth and to make my life bitter -

I was the first guy to bring you here
to help you to dream
I made your dream come true
I was the special guy that remains alone at the end
if you apologize in writing
I'll return to you now

You learned management, and got your bachelor's
you tried to manage my life without an account
whe everyone mocked me it sounded stupid to you
because I'm a shauvinist and sticken in my soul -

I was the first guy...
