LO OZEV ET HA'IR

NOT LEAVING THIS TOWN

 

Ani lifney siyum, soger kvar et hasha'ar

Marpe min ha'inyan, chomek el toch hashvil

Ve'at lifney siyum sho'elet, ha'im ata nish'ar

Ha'im hasher yimna miba'adenu lehamshich

 

Lo ozev et ha'ir, ani omer lach, avur af echad

Anachnu shnayim ktanim, benenu elohim echad

Ve'at avuri, kemo shtika daka

Ben kach o kach, lo ozev gam otach

 

Ve'achar kach mishum she'at ba'a lacheder,
veharadio mehudar

Rak simaney hachof me'orerim bi eze safek

Ve'at mitoch siyum at sho'elet,
ha'im yihye midai tagid li

Im shnenu nifrotz pit'om bevechy lo mit'apek

 

Lo ozev...

 

Sha'ot lifney siyum ani pit'om mavti'ach lach

Mitoch eze chalom za'ir shnenu nish'arim mul yam

Ted'I lach sheze kmo lamut lifney siyum

Stakli sham al kav raki'a metucha la ezo ir ktana

Ir ktana mele'a sharav

I am close to ending, I close the gate

I leave the issue, and sneak into the path

And you, before ending, are asking: are you staying?

With this song prevent us from going on.

 

Not leaving this town, I tell you, for no one

We are both small, and among us one God

For me you are like a thin silence

Any way, I am not leaving you

 

And then, because you come to the room
and the radio is playing

Only the beach signs raise a doubt in me

And you, before ending,
are asking: will it be too much

If both of us will suddenly cry without holding back

 

Not leaving this town......................

Hours before ending I promise you

From some kind of a dream both of us remain in front of the sea

I want you to know that it is like dying before ending

Look at the horizon, some kind of small town is stretched there

A small town, full of heat
