IM TA'AZVI OTI

Im ta'azvi oti, ani ehyeh gibor nofel
letoch atzmi ani argish bebor bakhoshekh levadi
Im ta'azvi oti, ani gamur

Im ta'azvi oti, ani atkhil livkot mikol davar shtuti,
yelech li ha"fason" ve'tekharev dmuti
Im ta'azvi oti, ani shavur

Zot lo manipulatzia shel ashma
Zo ha'emet, zo lo sheeta
Ani lo yoshev al ham'tzafon shelakh va'ani lo tloti
Ani pashut amut im ta'azvi oti

Be'pub katan shel shikorim
Im korbanot ha'ahava
Baderekh haye'ush shalosh
Pinat rekhov ha'akhzava
Ani agur betokh hapakh
Im ta'azvi oti, ani mozne'akh

Ani motzef be'zikhronot, tovim v'ke'evim
Ehyeh moftzetz be'kokhavim nof'lim u'va'shirim k'vedim
K'mo kipod mal'eh kotzim shel m'rirut
Im ta'azvi oti ani avud

(Pizmon)
Le'an ani elekh? M'eifo matkhilim?
Be'khayim she'biladayikh mechaku et ha'shvilim
Esh'al et ha'midbar, elekh el he'harim
Ani od adma'ain otakh, yoter me'ha'khayim

Im ta'azvi oti...

(Pizmon)

Ve'kakh bein hitnagdut le'hashlama -
Im lo tashiri li bi'khlal breira -
Im la'azov oti zot ha'vkhira shelakh
Ani ekdim v'e'ezov otakh!

IF YOU LEAVE ME

If you leave me, I will be a fallen hero
Within myself, I’ll feel I’m in a hole in the darkness alone
If you leave me, I’m finished!

If you leave me, I’ll start to cry from every silly little thing,
my style will flee and ruin my image!
If you leave me, I’m a broken man.

This isn’t “jewish mother” guilt manipulation
It’s the truth, not some scheme
I won’t sit on your conscience and I’m not dependent… I’ll simply die if you leave me.

In a little pub of drunks
With love's victims
On “No. 3 Despair Way”, corner of “Disappointment Street”
I’ll live inside the bin
If you leave me, I’ll be neglected!

I’ll be inundated with memories – good and painful
I’ll be bombarded by falling stars and ponderous songs
Like a hedgehog replete with spikes of bitterness
If you leave me, I’m lost

(Chorus)
Where will I go? Where do we begin?
In a life without you, the paths are erased
I’ll ask the desert, I’ll go to the mountains
I’ll still fancy you, more than life itself.

If you leave me…

(Chorus)

And thus, between resistance and accepting -
If you won’t leave me any alternative whatsoever -if you leave me that’s your choice
I’ll be quicker and leave you first!
