LAMA NESHAMA
Hab'didut achshav ochezet bi beregesh
mach'zirah oti layamim shehayinu ohavim
eich hayinu mit'chabkim mul z'richat hashemesh
vechulam rak aleinu hayu mis'taklim
Kvar hechanti tochniyout shenagur beyachad,
he'atid hit'napetz li yashar bapanim
im hayit yoda'at eich kuli befachad,
gam halev mesarev lekabel et hamilim
Lamah neshamah kashah had'mamah
bein kol ha'anashim ani boded nora
la'olam at stam achat, bishvili kol ha'olam zo at
lo yachol levater alaich, na'arah
Ani chashavti she'achshav od nihyeh bekesher
he'emanti shehaderech tihyeh retzufah mich'sholim
lo moze et atzmi, ani sagur bacheder
mechakeh layom she'at ulai tis'lechi
Hakochot kvar azlu midakah shel nachat,
va'ani rak rotzeh elaich yafati
tni sikui katan shenihyeh beyachad,
eich uchal lehasir de'agah milibi
Lamah neshamah...

WHY (MY) SOUL
WHY, DEAR
The loneliness now holds me with emotion
it takes me back to the days when we were lovers
oh how we were embracing in the sunshine
and everyone would look only upon us
I already made plans that we'll live together,
the future got smashed right in my face
if only you knew then how all of me was in fear,
even my heart refused to accept the words
why, dear, the silence is hard
among all the people, I am terribly lonely
to the world you're just one woman, to me you're the world
I can't give up on you, girl
I thought that now we'd still keep in touch
I believed the road will be paved with obstacles
I don't find myself, I'm closed in within my room
waiting for the day that you may forgive me
Strengths have expired already from the minute of joy,
and I just want to be with you, my pretty
give me a small chance that we may be together,
how can I remove worry from my heart
Why, dear...
