SHIRA

At, shelo yoda'at lehavchin bein tov lera
Bechol yom mitraseket ve'az sho'elet ma kara
Kol sha'a yotzeret lach sipur lelo motza
Kol kach rotza ligdol, aval tamid tihyi yalda




At shemenasa laga'at be'or shel kochavim
Lo nirdemet balelot ovedet bayamim
Roman echad rodef sheni vekacha kvar shanim
Kmo sigaria yeshana- nisrefet mibifnim

Shira, hachayim od yechaku lach
Hayom igva im redet or
Ve'at kvar lo tuchli lizkor
Et kol ma sheshachachti lehagid lach

At shemit'oreret letoch boker sagriri
Hageshem menake othach shakuf verechani
Ulai machar sof sof tavini tafsiki lechapes
Titni lahem et kol kulech sheya'arichu ma sheyesh lach


Shira....

Ulai terdi lerega mirakevet heharim
Tafsiki lehachnis laguf ashan mibakbukim
Heyi shketa mul hamara'a tar'i la kama at yafa
Ulai beyom echad ze od yikre lach

Shira......

Anashim od yechaychu lach
Hashem shelach lavan tahor
Ve'at kvar lo tuchli lizkor
Et kol ma sheshachachti lehagid lach

SHIRA (A GIRL'S NAME)

You, who doesn't know to distinguish between good and bad
You crash down every day and then you ask what happened
Every hour you create a dead end story
You want so much to grow up but will always stay a child

You, who is trying to touch the light of stars
You don't fall asleep at nights, work through the day
One affair after another, it's been like that for years
Like an old cigarette- you burn from the inside

Shira, life will wait for you
The day will die off as light goes down
And you will not be able to remember
Every thing I forgot to tell you

You, who wakes up to a morning with heavy rain
The rain cleanses you, it is see through and fragrant
May be tomorrow you will finaly stop looking
Give them you whole so they will apriciate what you have

Shira...

May be you will get off the roller coaster for a minute
Stop putting in your body smoke out of bottles
Be quite in front of the mirror show how beautiful you are
May be one day it will still happen to you

Shira....

People will still smile at you
Your name is white and pure
You will not be able to remember
Every thing I forgot to tell you

Song for Shira

Talk Now Girl I’m Listening
The Whole World Listens To Your Mumbling
Talk, My Angel, I Know
That Not Always They Will Listen To You

Talk Barefoot Lips, Talk Eyes
As Long As Milk Is Dripping From Your Smile
Embrace All My Fears With Both Your Hands
Embrace Big Bears In Your Sleep

A New And A Good World I Will Give You
Already With A Blue View You Discoverer
How Important To Suddenly See A Half Moon
Winking Yellow Yellow From The Darkness

Be Small Nothing Will Harm You
A Butterfly Clip Attached To Your Hair
Be Small Nothing Will Escape From You
I Will Be Big For You Too

Talk Barefoot Lips, Talk Eyes
As Long As Milk Is Dripping From Your Smile
Embrace All My Fears With Both Your Hands
Embrace Big Bears In Your Sleep
