PITOM ACHSHAV, PITOM HAYOM

AHAVTIHA 

 

Hi belibi achshav, betoch libi,

k'mo ashan.
Hi rak sheli achshav, hi bechubi,
kenof harbeh alim
k'mei nahar k'chulim,
achshav hi kan.

Ahavtiha
ani yode'a zot pit'om,

Ken hi sheli achshav,

Ani kore bekol, ho, bnei adam

Ahavtiha...

Hashmi'i kol yaldah, hashmi'i kol,

imri: hu k'sil gadol
hu lo yad'a, hu lo yad'a.

SUDDENLY NOW, SUDDENLY TODAY

I LOVED HER 

She’s in my heart now, inside my heart
Like many shadows
Like many paths
Like smoke.
She is mine alone now
Like a bough with many leaves
Like a river’s blue water,
Now she is here.

I loved her
Suddenly, I know that,
I loved her
Suddenly now, suddenly today.
Yes she is mine now
Like the song.
Rising from within me,
Rising with all my strength,
Like the song.

I call aloud, hey, human beings
And open spaces somewhere
And all the sea winds, and the waves.
Hear, city rooftops,
Listen streets,
Houses and people
Silences and noises,
Hear my voice.

I loved her…

And you, where are you? Where? Where?
I don’t call your name,
I just wait expectantly for your reply
And if you should hear me
And my song
Bursting forth like the sea
Crying out to the world
If you should hear…

I loved her…

…then raise your voice, girl, let it be heard
Speak, tell all
Say: What an utter fool he is
He didn’t know. He didn’t know.
