At yodaat haynu yeladim ka'ele
Tovim yoter beledaber, pachot belichtov
Ahavnu letayl bachuts vegam im geshem
Hayah yored keylu lo yerad asor
Umazal sheyesh chagim, ki at chozeret
Veyeshena iti tsamud chatsi smicha
Veha'achim shelach bachuts osim tofeset
Az boy netse achshav sigaryah bashkya
Mi yachzir otach elay bisha kazot?
Mi yshmor aleynu?
Veytarti al hakol, ve'at od lo kan, ta'azvi shtuyot
Kol zeh bishvileynu
At yodaat, hayom hakol nireah achreret
Ve'harechov sheli mizman hafar shone
Et ha’etsim hayerukim hichlifu benyanim kolkach gvuhim
Umehakol notru li rak ga'agu'im
Umazal sheyesh shirim kade livroach
Lehikanes hachi amok el toch atsmi
Lehitpalel shemishehu tov achshav koreh lach
Ki at sheli, velo chashuv eyfa tehi
Mi yachzir otach elay bisha kazot?
Mi yshmor aleynu?
Veytarti al hakol, ve'at od lo kan, ta'azvi shtuyot
Kol zeh bishvileynu
Mi yachzir otach elay bisha kazot?
Mi yshmor aleynu?
Veytarti al hakol, ve'at od lo kan, ta'azvi shtuyot
Kol zeh bishvileynu
Kol zeh bishvileynu
You know, as kids we were good in talking, than writing (to each other)
We loved to travel outside, and the rain didn't bother
us at all
Lucky for us, we had the holidays, to see you come back, and all dressed in white and with your
velvet hair
Seeing your brothers playing chase, so lets go outside,
to watch the sunset
Who will bring you back to me now
Who will guard us
I gave up everything
And you are still not here
Leave the nonsense
All this is for us
You know, today everthing looks so different
The street I grew up, changed a long time ago
The green trees were replaced by the tall buldings
And all have now, are longings
And lucky I have songs to help me to run away
To be alone, to pray for your happiness, because you are mine, no matter where you are
Who will bring you back to me now
Who will guard us
I gave up everything
And you are still not here
Leave the nonsense
All this is for us
