KATAVTI LACH MICHTAV
I WROTE YOU A LETTER
 
Kol halailah lo nirdam
at lo nimtzet iti
bil'adaich lo uchal
tamid bemachshavati
mevakesh bachalomech lehabit
velu me'at
vezeh od lo hakol at yoda'at

Kol halailah menaseh mechapes latzet mizeh
mevakesh lehigamel ach lo yachol yoter
gam hasheket vehakor kavshu et ma'oni
et mah she'over alai lo tavini

Ani katavti lach michtav
ani shalachti lach prachim
aval hakol haya leshav
at amart zeh lo mat'im

Kol halailah rak otach
ani roeh bedimyoni
vehageshem hanitach makah bechaloni
can vitarti al hakol
rak otach rotzeh iti
ana imri li et mah kvar bikashti

Gam hashemesh hachamah
od makah meal roshi
shilchi ktsat nechamah
lehachayot nafshi
ach hakol od lo gamur
vemachar at kan
tomri im yesh bach ahavah al tastiri

Ani katavti lach michtav
ani shalachti lach prachim
aval hakol haya leshave
at amart zeh lo mat'im

The whole night I didn't fall asleep
You're not with me,
without you, I can't handle it,
you're always in my thoughts
I ask to look in your dream,
if only little
and that's not all, you know.

The whole night I try, I look for a way to get over this,
I'm asking to move past, but I can't handle it any longer.
Even the silence and coldness captured my home
what's coming over me you wouldn't understand.

I wrote you a letter,
I sent you flowers,
but it was all for nought
you said it's not appropriate.

The whole night it's only you
I see in my imagination
the rain hits my window here
I gave up on everything,
I only want you with me
please tell me what I've already requested from you

Even the hot sun
brusies from above my head
send a little comfort
to the soul of my being
but all is not finished yet
and tomorrow say here
if there's love in you, don't hide it

I wrote you a letter,
I sent you flowers,
but it was all for nought
you said it's not appropriate.
