Come to me my beloved.

Please come to me , come my beloved,
And we will be lovers forever.
I will swear to you in my name and my father's name,
That I'll wait for you for many days.
Two years, three years as well.
Also five and six, my beloved.
My money, soldier, I'll send you,
Using a thread and a needle I will work hard.
 
Sneak out of your father's house tonight,
Please come to the station.
I hugged you and kissed you on your mouth.
And the train was already gone, gone.
The train is speeding away
Just for a moment will stop at the station.
When I remember you, then I become silent.
But from my eyes, tears flow, tears flow.
 
Please come, come my beloved,
And we will be lovers forever.
I will swear to you in my name and my father's name,
That I'll wait for you for many days.

What am I asking for? Not much,
You are

I Loved Her

She is in my heart now, inside my heart
like many shadows
like many paths
like smoke
she is only mine now, she is my obligation,
like a landscape of many leaves
like a river of blue waters
now she is here.
 
I loved her
i realized this suddenly
i loved her
suddenly now, suddenly today
yes she is mine now
like the song
rising from within me
erupting with all my strength
like the song.
 
I call out with my voice, humans
and to all the distant lands
and all the sea winds and waves
if you hear me
and my song
that bursts out like the sea
screaming to the world
only listen
 
I loved her...
 
Yes she is mine now
like the song
rising from within me
erupting with all my strength
like the song.
 
She is in my heart now, inside my heart
like many shadows
like many paths
like smoke
she is only mine now, she is my obligation,
like a landscape of many leaves
like a river of blue waters
now she is here.
 

She Doesn't Know What I'm Going Through

Now I feel like
I don't know anything.
Now I quicken my steps.
She's looking out the window,
Seeing me passing by outside.
She doesn't know
what I'm going through.
 
In her blue eyes
a warm moon is hung,
Now she's as sad as I am,
Surely.
She's taking out my clothes,
Eating strawberries by herself.
She doesn't know what I'm going through.
 
Of course, no love is endless,
But this end seems cursed to me.
I'm walking among the people down the street,
Yelling, 'Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Tell her.'
 
Now I move on as if
not all is lost.
It's moving in my gut,
Ruining my nights.
I think my love with her
is the most important thing.
She doesn't know what I'm going through.
 
Of course, no love is endless,
But this end seems cursed to me.
I'm walking among the people down the street,
Yelling, 'Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Tell her.'
 
As she drives away, I'm staying.
Never moving from this spot.
I'm walking through the city, aching
from missing her.
I go back to my room and that is it.
Writing songs, singing them.
She doesn't know what I'm going through.
 
Of course, no love is endless,
But this end seems cursed to me.
I'm walking among the people down the street,
Yelling, 'Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Tell her.'
 

Waltz At Five Thirty

And i still dance with you in my head
look at the clock and it is almost five thirty
and if you don't come by six, i will despair
but i will stand here tomorrow in front of the same cypress shrubs.
 
And i still love with the time, with every step
and remember well how you told me
'After two good times comes a time
that ruins us and then it is over'
 
And i still drive the same used car
that most likely has a ruined engine
and I know that there isn't another option
besides starting again the same dance with you
 
And all is spinning and confused like galloping horses in a room
I trust your hand to not letting me fall by mistake
and i quote like a scholar from within a book
'my Cinderella - we will dance and we will die'
 
And i still love with the time, with every step
and remember well how you told me
'After two good times comes a time
that ruins us and then it is over'
 
The city's skies are red and you hurt me
and two children are laughing because of the song
because how is it that you do not come, how is it that you do not come
we agreed to dance, at five thirty
 
we agreed to dance, at five thirty
 
we agreed to dance, at five thirty...
 

You Will Never Know

And at night
the doors of your face are locked
and during the days - you will never know
you will never know
how much i traveled for you
roads in the palm of my hand
roads in the palm of your hand
 
Every time that a plane or something
touches the heavens,
i hear a ride,
do not wait.
a person is always separated from someone,
i remember - you cried
it is different, but there is something in me
that does not know.
 
And at night, you will be written on my dreams
and during the days you will never know
the time of thoughtfulness
depending on the clock
the hand of the clock spins1
times the hours
 
Every time that a women or someone
touches my path,
i remember you, and feel like when
you were with me.
you are surly asleep, and someone
is breathing you deeply
my hands are not the hands of this man
my hands are jealous.
 
And at night
you will not see in the dark... no
and during the days - you will never know
quietly, like a thief
on your toes of your body
in the wanderings of sleep
in the thoughts of sin
 
I am always suspected of something
the cop talks to me
maybe i should tell him
that i am alone?
 
And once when everything will simpler
even the word
i will tell you something that does not seem important
but sounds wonderful.

We Clung Together

And so i enter to the room, and ask
'is everyone here, so to speak, alright, everyone still alive?'
and you still sing with a guitar, longing for the sea
because the need for love never ends
 
I will not explain it all, just how i desired you
and when the war broke out, we lived in the kitchen
and when the war passed, like every thing passes
i started a band, guitar, bass and drummer
 
and the band performed powerfully, herself
and the broadcaster screamed the punk, the punk returned to the city
and all November when it was sad and cold for us
we clung together and again clung to life
 
And I entered to the room and your head flowers
the television already works on the people
so come and let's be foolish, and talk the truth
i tell you we will undress, in order to cling together
 
I will not explain all, how we made love
we clung to g-d, inside stadium
Michelle, Michelle{fn]referring to the Beatles song perhapsi called you, and you laughed at this.
and in the circle you clung to me, at the death of our father Isaac
 
and the band....
 
And thus we clung there to the earth, to conquests
i want to sleep with you, you screamed at me on the streets
and sometime would whisper to me, between people
let's marry, make a child with me, and write me a song
 
I will not explain all, about yesterday that was
about all the bands, about the friends that disappeared
and in the light of the Autumn evening when it became already cold
we clung to the music, music, music, music
 
and the band....
 
And so i enter to the room, and ask
'is everyone here, so to speak, alright, everyone still alive?'
and you still sing with a guitar, longing for the sea
because the need for love never ends
 

The Chinese Mystics

And now it's already the time to know what
It's expected of us from heaven
Do you know what they meant?
The one who said that wisdom is like water?
And it seems that we were, without choice,
Getting closer and closer
We're like a couple along an avenue
Just walking and walking
 
And in light of the really simple things
We live our lives
For example, without explanations, only accepting and giving
It's not easy but what else is still there between us?
I sometimes remember the past childhood
Before the time of the computer and high-tech,
On the train tracks waiting for the locomotive
And shouting at it when it comes
 
Yes, it was a good life
As the optimists say
And sometimes a strange life, so they say
The Chinese mystics
And maybe this is a great life
After all, we lived them in a frenzy
Look at me and see me
A little happy, a little sad
 
And when I wear a white dress again
You ask what happened to you and to us
You once wore that same dress
In November when we got married
Yes, it's clear to me that sometimes you want to
Go back to the things that we had
I also want the same things
Because of the exact same thing
 
Yes, it was a good life...
 
And now you don't talk, you just come to me
Silently, silently into the room
Like two friends lost in space
Noting it's already mid-November
The leaves are falling again - this is the quiet time
We won't know what awaits us tomorrow
I wrap you in warmth and we dance
And we turn yet another page
 
Yes, it was a good life...
 

I am wiping away your tears

Versions: #1
First, a sedative pill you take,
So that you don’t break down in sobs,
Then you throw a betting stake:
Is it me, is it you, are we both?
I quiver inside and quail,
And my tongue is completely lame.
I’m wiping your tears away,
And I whisper and breath your name.
 
You cry to me now,
You cry to me, I say.
And I know, you are hurt,
But at the end it’ll be OK.
You cry for us two,
I cannot cry since many years,
And all I can do,
I am wiping away your tears,
 
“Look”, she tells me, “at any rate,
What’s ahead is a foggy wisp.
There’s no need to exaggerate,
Life is scary enough as it is.”
I quiver inside and quail,
And my tongue is completely lame.
You’re wiping your tears away,
And I whisper and breathe your name.
 
You cry to me now,
You cry to me, I say.
And I know, you are hurt,
But at the end it’ll be OK.
You cry for us two,
I cannot cry since many years.
And all I can do,
I am wiping away your tears.
 

All that you want

All that you want will be yours
even if it is difficult for you
all the letters that have not yet been written
and on them is written your name
a moment without shame and with love of a woman
Someone that will see you
all moments of happiness and comfort
all that you want will be yours
 
A moment of happiness alone opposite the mirror
dance into the night
a soft hand that strokes you
a moment before you awake
a note on a napkin and private language
a scent that you love
a song that is playing from the neighbors house
all that you want will be yours
 
All that you want will be yours
All that you want in the palm of your hand
just agree to open
all that you want
all what yet (you don't have)
the whole world extends it hands out
all that you want will be yours
 
All the stars when there are no other lights around
the truth of the heavens
the intersection of a gaze and a heart beat
to be a ripple in the sea
to sneak into a closed garden at night
love not forbidden
a child that you raised and you love
all that you want will be yours
 
All that you want will be yours
All that you want in the palm of your hand
just agree to open
all that you want
all what yet (you don't have)
the whole world extends it hands out
all that you want will be yours
 

Because of an apple

Do you want to know why I loved?
I loved because of an apple
For nobody knows the path of the wind
This is known already. Now I came
To bring evidence of my love
And I - do you know why I loved?
I loved because of an apple
 
My uncle had a beautiful orchard
And my uncle had a pretty-eyed daughter
And in the orchard there was a pond with water
Quietly flowing, fresh water
Like stolen water, like secret wine
My uncle had a beautiful orchard
And my uncle had a pretty-eyed daughter
 
And one day, as summer arrived,
In the heat of day, the clear day,
I, with Pnina my relative
went for a walk in the garden,
she was a young maiden, I want a young man
we laughed together in the summer breeze
In the heat of day, the clear day
 
And we laughed and rejoiced together
I and Pninamy relative,
we chanted, sang, behaved like children,
and in my joy were mixed together
both the song and the sweet fruit
And we laughed and rejoiced together
I and Pninamy relative
 
And with a loud voice 'tweet tweet'
From between the branches, wings of song
were chanting in a foreign language
my intestines also sang like a heavenly nightingale
and brought to life a new song
And with a loud voice 'tweet tweet'
started singing around the wings of song
 
And within a moment she returned, and in her right hand
a big, shiny, red apple
she tasted it, and fed me
from her hand the other half
I opened my mouth, sppechless
And she was standing, and in her had was
a big, shiny, red apple
 
And in the bare whiteness of the apple
My teeth followed the traces of her teeth
And my nose smelled her scent
But her scent, her scent intoxicated me,
Passed through me like a sweet wine
My heart stopped, I was out of breath
And since then - Pnina was mine.
 

Six

There were six of us, it was written on the wall,
I'm the only one left if you count me as well,
All those friends I had, are running through my mind.
 
The one that ran after big cash,
And the one that ruled over three blocks,
All those friends I had, are running through my mind.
 
The one that swings there on the garden swing,
My friends were always a little weird,
One is frozen on the fence, 'cause he didn't know how to grow,
One is punctured by a 9mm bullet, oh.
 
All those friends I had,
Are running through my mind.
 
Six of us went down to Eilat,
If you don't count that girl, that gave us a handjob,
All those friends I had, are running through my mind.
 
Six, time is shrinking,
In the streets of Tel Aviv, there's another tree named after us,
All those friends I had, are running through my mind.
 
One always gambled on the wrong card,
My friends were always a little insecure,
One went missing and the rumors followed him anywhere,
The one that spoke in everyone's name, now only speaks for himself.
 
All those friends I had,
Are running through my mind.
 
Six, it was written on the wall,
I'm the only one left, if you count me as well,
All those friends I had, are running through my mind.
 

Suddenly a man gets up

Suddenly a man gets up in the morning
And feels that he is a nation and starts to walk,
And to everyone in his way , he says hello
 
grains rise in front of his face through the slots of the sidewalk.
And aromas dripping to his head from the ash trees.
The dews are spreading and are pregnant, Multiple rays
They will give birth to a sun canopy for his wedding night.
 
Suddenly a man gets up in the morning
And feels that he is a nation and starts to walk,
And to everyone in his way , he says hello
 
And he laughs, heroism of generations from the mountains,
And the wars are ashamed, bowing down,
For the glory of a thousand years revoluting in hiding
A thousand young years before him
Like a chilled ril, like a shepherds song, like a branch.
 
Suddenly a man gets up in the morning
And feels that he is a nation and starts to walk,
And sees that spring has returned
And emptied again a tree from the effoliation
 
Suddenly a man gets up in the morning
And feels that he is a nation and starts to walk,
And to everyone in his way , he says hello
 

To where to where to where

And i ask about what you're doing, and they they do not know,
And i'm searching for an excuse to talk about you,
And someone suggests that i drive, following the known,
And i take the car and drive following you.
At the entertainment to the highway, that pave all the life,
The car is a house in a Coca Cola world,
I buy you sweets that you loved to suck, 'cause they're tasty,
For a coffee with you i'd put also a thousand dollar.
 
I'm driving, don't know,
To where, to where, to where
You were everything for me,
And that wasn't long ago.
 
And i hear your voice like back then between the door and the outer world,
Screaming 'god, have mercy on me, put some iodine for me',
On a drenched dirt road, i drive to shortcut the path,
The car sometimes is like a gondola.
Thinking about all the desperate, that fell in love and married,
For a coffee with you i'd put also a thousand dollar.
 
I'm driving, don't know,
To where, to where, to where
You were everything for me,
And that wasn't long ago.
 
And i ask if they saw you, nobody did,
And i'm searching for an excuse to talk about
A salvo of a maniac's gun to the prime minister's head,
I cry for him when i cry for you.
From all the shit in this world, look how i look,
Walking with a pain in my side from a love that never works,
And slowly, i fall asleep in my car , 'cause sometimes it's also a bed,
And i'm dreaming about a coffee with you, what are you dreaming about?...
 
I'm driving, don't know,
To where, to where, to where
You were everything for me,
And that wasn't long ago...
 
Bacon.
