IMA YEKARAH LI


 

Ima yekarah li, yekarah
ima yekarah li, yekarah
shir katan ashirah lach
ki ani ohev otach,
ohev otach,
ohev otach.

Achayech elaich, achayech
achayech elaich, achayech
shai katan agisha lach
ki ani ohev otach,
ohev otach,
ohev otach.

I HAVE A DEAR MOTHER


I have a dear mother, dear
I have a dear mother, dear
a small song I'll sing to you
because I love you,
love you,
love you.

I'll smile to you, I'll smile
I'll smile to you, I'll smile
a small gift I'll present to you
because I love you,
love you,
love you.
