RIKDI


 

Ma yafot hen shtei eineha
Be'esh halehava
Mabatim shalchu eleiha
Esh betoch liba
Li nagnu biksha hi
Li nagnu bekol
Lo nafsik amra hi
Ad ya'ale ha'or

Rikdi, yadech hanifi
At betoch haketzev
At betoch hakesem
Rikdi, rikdi, rikdi.

Hi sovevet kecholemet, mochim lah kaf
merachefet umuk'semet k'mo tzipor kanaf
peta hi go'eshet k'mo gal yam ach'zar
umiyad chomeket k'mo haytah parpar.

Rikdi, yadech hanifi...

Hatza'if asher aleiha lah shomer sodot
li bor'kot hen shtei eineiha, lohatot yok'dot
et yadah sholachat el hama'agal
hi bocheret lah na'ar, na'ar me'ushar.

Rikdi, yadech hanifi...

DANCE!


How pretty are her two eyes
The fire's flame
They look towards her
A fire in her heart
Play for me, she asked
Play for me, loud
We won't stop, she said
Until the light shall rise

Dance, swing your hand
you're in the rhythm
you're in the magic
dance, dance, dance.

She turns as though dreaming,
they clap for her
she hovers and is magical like bird's wing
suddenly she's rages like the wave of a cruel sea
and immediately runs away like she was a butterfly

Dance, swing your hand...

The veil upon her keeps her secrets
her two eyes flash at me, blaze and burn
she brings her hand out into circle
she chooses a guy for herself, a happy guy.

Dance, swing your hand...
