lyrics

Yam Shel D’maot

Arukim haleilot miyom she'halakhta (Long are the nights since you went)
ha'aviv k’mo hastav kol kakh afor, (Spring, like fall is so gray)
uvalev zikhronot min hastam kvar shahakhta (And memories in the heart already forgotten)
ut'filah, tfilah kenah shetahazor (And a prayer, a truthful prayer that you'd return).

Mah shomem hu hadri miyom she'azavta (How desolate is my room since the day you left)
hasha'on she'al hakir libo nadam (The heart of the clock on the wall fell silent)
Uvoded bapinah hakise she'ahavta (and lonely in the corner is the chair you loved)
bil'adekha ha'olam ko meyutam (Without you the world is so orphaned).

Yam shel dma'ot bishtei einai (Sea of tears in my two eyes)
libi zo'ek shuvah elai (My heart screams, come back to me)
Koli shover et had'mamah (My voice breaks the silence)
hatishma, hatishma (If only you'd hear, you'd hear).


Od ashuv yaldati - atah ko hivtahta (I'll return my child, so you promised)
rak haki li vesheli hish'ari (Just wait for me and remain mine)
im hazman rak mikhtav yehidi li shalahta (All this time you'd only sent me one letter)
hadapim dahu mizman, gam se'ari (The pages faded a while ago, as has my hair).

Yam shel dma'ot bishtei einai (Sea of tears in my two eyes)
libi zo'ek shuvah elai (My heart screams, come back to me).
Koli shover et had'mamah (My voice breaks the silence)
hatishma, hatishma (If only you'd hear, you'd hear).

Libi zo'ek shuvah elai (My heart screams, come back to me).

Yam shel dma'ot bishtei einai (Sea of tears in my two eyes)
libi zo'ek shuvah elai (My heart screams, come back to me).
Koli shover et had'mamah (My voice breaks the silence)
hatishma, hatishma (If only you'd hear, you'd hear).
