MUKERET LI MEPAAM 

Reg'a lifnei shki'ah
ani mechabek otach
vechadur shel esh k'mo libi
tzolel venofel itach

Achar kach ba hachoshech
hakesem ne'elam
rak omek mabataich
vetza'ar ha'olam

At mukeret li mipa'am
ulai megilgul acher...
chalom shehish'ir bi ta'am
shel zikaron bo'er

Velifnei she'ani noge'a
beterem z'richah
tavo'i vetagidi
ani kuli shelcha
ani kol kuli shelcha...

Yesh achat bedimyoni
tovah umetukah
va'ani mechuvan eleiha
mitoch anan shtikah

Ulai misham hig'at li
ve'im at amitit
k'chi oti elaich
zo hash'gachah p'ratit

At mukeret li mipa'am...

(SHE'S) ONCE KNOWN TO ME

I KNOW HER FROM SOMEWHERE 

One moment before the sunset
I embrace you
And my heart, like a ball of fire,
dives and falls with you

Then comes the darkness
The magic disappears
Leaving only the depth of your eyes
and the sadness of the world

I have known you long ago
Perhaps in another lifetime
A dream that left in me a fragrance
Of a burning memory

So before I touch you
Just before sunrise
Come and say to me,
I am all yours
Perhaps from another lifetime...

There is only one in my imagination
She is good and sweet
And I am pointed at her
From a cloud of silence

Maybe that is where you came from
So if you are real
Please take me with you
And look after me

I have known you long ago...
