SHIR HAKIRVAH
SONG OF CLOSENESS

 

 

Shuv shneinu bacheder v'ish lo sam lev
Hamabat shelach shuv masgir min ke'ev
Yesh nashim sheh osfot et s'aran
Yesh gvarim shebochim al nashim
Halev sheli cham, hirgashti kirva
Eich asbir et atzmi?

Shuv shneinu nos'im, v'ish lo sam lev
Mehahegeh yesh peep, tziftzuf shel ke'ev
Yesh nashim shenotnot et atzman
Yesh gvarim shetamid nishbarim
Kach ani mitkarev, eich asbir et atzmi?
Kach ani mitkarev.

PIZMON:
Od me'at, atzvuti tahafoch lekef
Od me'at, simchati tihyeh simchatech
Od me'at, efgosh otach b'mikreh
Bamitbach bamita achakeh
Ish lo met mikirvah,
az bo'i elai
Ish lo met mikirvah.

Ha'erev yored, ha'osher murkav
Mefutzatz li harosh, aval yesh li otach
Barachti mimech kmo me'esh
Achshav ani shuv mitragesh
Noshef letoch yad, sheyihyeh yoter cham
Od me'at nitkarev.

PIZMON
Od me at, atzvuti...

Shuv shneinu bacheder v'ish lo sam lev
Hamabat shelach shuv masgir min ke'ev.

Again the two of us are in the room, and no one notices
Your glance again gives me some sort of pain
Some women lift up their hair
Some men cry over women
My heart is warm, I felt your closeness
How will I explain myself?

Again the two of us are traveling, and no one notices
There is a beep of the horn, the sound of pain
Some women give of themselves
Some men are always broken up
So I come closer, how will I explain myself?
So I come closer.

CHORUS:
In a little while, my sadness will turn into fun
In a little while, my joy will become your joy
In a little while, I will meet you by chance
In the kitchen, in the bed, I will wait.
No one ever dies from closeness,
So come to me,
No one ever dies from closeness.

Evening falls, happiness is complex
My head has exploded, but I still have you
I ran away from you as though from fire
But now I am excited again.
Blowing into your hand, so it will be warmer
In a little while we will get closer.

CHORUS
In a little while...

Again the two of us are in the room, and no one notices
Your glance again gives me some sort of pain.
