YAFAH KALEVANAH

Sufot metochi umichutz
motetu et kirot habayit
Ve'at mitochi zaramt mefuzeret
vechazart ayefah veshoteket
Od pa'am k'shehayiti yeled
hayit betochi nish'beret
Pa'am shelach pa'am acheret
al yofiyech lezarim mevateret

Lo avakesh davar
At lo tz'richah lehochi'ach li klum
horidi odem s'fatayich
avak drachim rachatzi meraglayich

Hayi li krovah vezocheret
hayi li rak li meyuchedet
Hayi li achot mekudeshet
hayi yechefah menuchemet

Mi zot olah
Yafah kalevanah

BEAUTIFUL LIKE THE MOON

Storms from inside me and from outside
collapsed the walls of the house
and you flowed from within me scattered
and you returned quiet and barefooted
another time when I was a child
you broke down inside me
your time some other time
you give up your beauty to strangers

I won't ask for anything
you don't have to prove anything to me
take the lipstick off
wash off the dirt of the roads from your feet

Be close to me and remind me
be mine just my special person
be my sanctified sister,
be barefooted and comfortable

Who is it coming up
beautiful like the moon
