ANI CHAYAH LI (MI YOM LEYOM) 

 

Ani chayali meyom leyom -
mifazeret et yamai laru'ach
Anashim mitchatnim svivi -
gam ani rotzah ktzat lanu'ach

Omrim sheha'adama shelanu
mistovevet sviv tzira
Eifo hatzir sheli?
Lehistovev zeh dvar nora

Lo kol kacha yaffa
Velo bat shesh esrei
Aval yoda'at mashehu
Al ha'olam hazeh

Ve'im hu retzini
Veim hu rak rotzeh
Tmurat mila achat
Eten kol kach harbeh

Po vesham hofiah gever
kmo betachanat rakevet nidachat
Mi sheratza bi be'erev-
chozer bo im olot hashachar
Omrim shehashemesh shelanu
bo'eret kvar milion shana
Kama yechol livor adam-
uvesach hakol beshvilma?

Lo kol kacha yaffa
Velo bat shesh esrei
Aval yoda'at mashehu
Al ha'olam hazeh

Ve'im hu retzini
Veim hu rak rotzeh
Tmurat mila achat
Eten kol kach harbeh

Ve'im yosheet li yad
Veim yegid rotzeh
Tmurat me'at me'od
Eten kol kach harbeh

I'M LIVING FROM DAY TO DAY

I LIVE (DAY TO DAY) 

I live from day to day
Scatter my days to the wind
People around me are getting married
I too want to rest just a little bit

They say that our earth
Goes in circles round an axis
Where is my axis?
Going in circles is a terrible thing

I'm not very pretty
I'm not 16 years old
But I know something
About this world

And if he's serious
If he just wants to
In exchange for one word
I'll give so very much

Here and there appears a man
As in some remote train station
He wants me in the evening
Changes his tune with the sunrise
They say that our Sun
Has been burning for millions of years
How much can a person burn
And for what purpose?

I'm not very pretty
I'm not 16 years old
But I know something
About this world

And if he's serious
If he just wants to
In exchange for one word
I'll give so very much

And if he'll reach out a hand to me
And if he'll say I want to
In exchange for very little
I'll give so very much


אני חיה לי מיום ליום

ANI CHAYAH LI MIYOM LEYOM

Ani chaya li miyom leyom
Mefazeret et yamai baru’ach
Anashim mitchatnim svivi
Gam ani rotza ktzat lanu’ach
Omrim sheha’adama shelanu
Mistovevet al tzira
Efo hatzir sheli?
Lehistovev ze davar nora

Lo kol kach yafa
Velo bat shesh esreh
Aval yoda’at mashehu
Al ha’olam haze

Ve’im hu retzini
Ve’im hu rak rotze
Tmurat mila achat
Eten kol kach harbe

Po vesham
hofi’a gever
Kmo betachanat rakevet nidachat
Mi sheratza bi ba’erev
Chazar bo im a lot hashachar

Omrim shehashemesh shelanu
Bo’eret kvar milyon shana
Kama yachol liv’or adam
Uvesach hakol bishvil ma

Lo kol kach yafa
Velo bat shesh esre
Aval yoda’at mashehu
Al ha’olam haze

Ve’im hu retzini
Ve’im hu rak rotze
Tmurat mila achat
Eten kol kach harbe

Ve’im yoshit li yad
Ve’im yagid rotze
Tmurat me’at me’od
Eten kol kach harbe

I LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY

I live from day to day
I spread my days in the wind
People around me get married
I also want to rest a bit
They say earth turns
on its axis
Where is my route?
It is awful to keep on turning

Not so beautiful
Not sixteen anymore
But I know something
About this world

And if he is serious
And if he just wants
For one word
I will give so much

Every now and then
a man appeared
Like in a deserted train station
Who wanted me in the evening
Regretted at dawn

They say our sun
has been burning for a million years
How long can a human being burn
And after all what for?

Not so beautiful
Not sixteen anymore
But I know something
About this world

And if he is serious
And if he just wants
For one word
I will give so much

And if he will reach out his hand
And if he says he wants
For very little
I will give so much
