CHABKI OTI
El mul chofayich hachamim
Ani chozer elayich ahuva
Belibech hen yadat she'agia,
shechekech rak yuchal lehargi'a
Et haben ha'oved hamagi'a,
bedarkey ha'avir, lelo tnai
At nir'et kmo gan eden milmala,
kochavim shuv espor lach halayla
Tachana achrona lo od hal'a,
at hayit ve'odech kol chayai
Chabki oti ve'al na tit'almi,
silchi li Ima ve'kir'I bishmi
Ki lo shachachti et shehivtachti
vedaf chadash patachti
Hishtanet at kvar lo mechayechet,
po vasham le'ibud at holechet
Belibi at adayin molechet,
va'ani od nofel al birkai
Kshol libi va'ani bamoledet,
nuchi lach nishmati hanodedet
Rak hashemesh oti me'odedet,
ve'overet achshav me'alai
Chabki oti...

HUG ME
Across from your hot shores
I am coming back to you, my love
You knew in your heart I will come back,
That only your bosom can calm down
The lost son that arrives via the air ways
Arrives without any condition
From up here you look like paradise
Again I will count the stars for you
This is the last stop, no other beyond it,
You have been and stayed all my life
Hug me, don't ignore me
Forgive me, Mother, and call my name
Because I never forgot what I promised
And I have opened a new page
You have changed, you don't smile any more
Here and there you lose your way
You still rule my heart,
and I fall down on my knees
My heart and I are back in the homeland
My wandering soul can rest now
Only the sun encourages me,
passing over me now
Hug me...
