IMA
Amok amok, rachok rachok
odech omedet mul einai
im hachiyuch vehamabat,
uvetochi libi nitzbat.
Ima, ima, at sham lemalah
odech bocha, odech doma'at.
Odech yoshevet, ne'etzevet,
al hapreidah beterem et.
Gadalti kvar, eineni yeled
ach lo avosh ve'etvadah
uchsheko'ev, zichrech oleh
uchmo tinok ani boche.
Zocher chiyuch, zocher mabat,
uvetochi libi nitzbat. Ima!
Haim at sham, yoda'at ima
ki anafaich hem rabim
sho'alim tamid madu'a
eichah yavshu hashorashim?
Ima, ima...
Veshuv ani balev nishbar,
shav lesaper kol she'avar
alit k'dusha, el ham'romim
umal'achim otach shom'im
zocher chiyuch, zocher mabat
uvetochi libi nitzbat.

MOTHER, MOTHER
MOTHER
Very deep, very far
You're still standing in front of my eyes
with the smile and the look,
and within me, my heart is gripped.
Mother, mother, you are up there
You're still crying, you're still weeping.
Still crying, still sorrowful,
over the separation before its time.
I grew up already, I'm not a child
but I won't be ashamed or proven false
and when it hurts, your memory comes
and like a toddler I cry.
I remember the smile and the look,
and within me, my heart is gripped. Mom!
Are you there, do you know Mom
for your branches are many
they're always asking why
how did the roots go dry?
Mother, mother...
And I break down in my heart again,
I return to tell all that happened
you rose as a saint, to the high places
and angels hear you
I remember the smile and the look,
and within me, my heart is gripped.
