LEHITRAOT
GOODBYE

 

Yamim shel 'ken'
Yamim shel 'lo'
Yamim rabim shel 'ulai'
Noshrim, kemo aley haperach
el leylotai.

Lehitraot,
B'rchov katan be'ir zara
O al safsal ba'otobus be'layla kar,
Lishmo'a et kolcha
shorek li basdera,
Lehipagesh baderech lakikar.
Lehitraot.

Yamim shel 'ken'
Yamim shel 'lo'
Yamim rabim shel 'ulai'
Noshrim, kemo aley haperach
el leylotai.

Lehitraot,
Le'or nerot hasha'ava,
Lishmo'a et yadcha dofeket al dalti.
Lachlom otcha be'chalomot ha'ahava,
Litot et tmunatcha al mitati.
Lehitraot.

Yamim shel 'ken'
Yamim shel 'lo'
Yamim rabim shel 'ulai'
Noshrim, kemo aley ha'perach
el leylotai.

Leha'amin
She'od tashuv min hadrachim,
Lada'at she'tavo lanu'ach po batzel,
Lachlom she'yom echad tavi li zer prachim,
Ve'she'ulai afilu titnatzel.
Lehitraot.
Days of yes
Days of no
Many more days of 'maybe'
Descend, Like flower petals
Onto my night.

To say Goodbye,
A foreign city and a narrow street
Or on a bus bench in a chilly night
To hear your voice,
which whistles to me in the night,
To meet you on my way to the square.
And say goodbye.

Days of yes
Days of no
Many more days of 'maybe'
Descend, Like flower petals
Onto my night.

To say Goodbye,
The dance of wax and candlelight,
To hear your hand knocking upon my door,
To dream of you in the love dreams of my night,
Your picture looking down from my wall.
And say goodbye.

Days of yes
Days of no
Many more days of 'maybe'
Descend, Like flower petals
Onto my night.

And to believe,
That from the roads you will return,
To know you will come to rest here in the shade,
To dream that you will bring me flowers in your turn
And one day, maybe even with some regret.
To say goodbye.
