LO TOV HEYOT HA'ADAM L'VADO

Lo tov heyot ha'adam l'vado
Aval hu l'vado
Bein ko vacho.

V'hu m'chakeh
V'hu l'vado
V'hu mitmame'ah
V'hu l'vado.

V'hu l'vado yodei'a
Shegam im yitmame'ah

Bo yavo.

IT'S NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE

It's not good for man to be alone
But he is alone
One way or another.

And he waits
And he is alone
And he lingers, hesitates
And he is alone.

And he alone knows
That even if he lingers

It will surely come.

(or, he will surely come.)
