    Default Hebrew to English translations please!!

    Hi, I am new to this forum and I am very glad to have found it!

    I listen to quite a bit of Israeli radio on the internet and have purchased many CDs of artists I enjoy from Israel either when I am in Israel (just returned from one such trip last month) or from an Israeli book/music/video store here in LA (Stiematzky - yes, the same Stiematzky as in Israel).

    I am usually able to find most song lyric translations on the Hebrew Songs website (which someone posted on another thread) but there are a few that I absolutely love that continue to elude me. I know a little Hebrew and can figure out the general meaning of the song but the details --- that's something else!

    In any case I would greatly appreciate English translations of the following songs:

    Haitachen - Daniel Salomon
    Shavim - Ran Danker & Eli Butner
    Al Tamini - Aya Korem
    Hasof shel hasipor - Aya Korem
    Ma Shehalev Bachar - Kobi Aflalo
    Lama - Maya Avraham
    Hakol Yachol Likrot - Ninet Tayeb


    There's more (there's ALWAYS more, lol) but that's it for now.

    Thanks!!!!!

    When I was in Israel, I asked my relatives to translate a couple for me (Aya Korem "Yonaton Shapira" and "Kayitz" even though I know some of the meanings)....I didn't want to appear to be bugging them about it though, lol.

    אתה לבן אני שחור
    אני חשוך אתה באור
    שמחמם כמו אמא,
    ושדואג לך.
    אתה קטן אני גדול
    אני רוצה אתה יכול
    לרקוד, לצעוד קדימה.
    להיות שלם בין אנשים.

    you are white, I am black
    I am in drakness, you are in the light
    that warmth of a mother, that takes care for you
    you are small, I am big
    I want, you can dance, step\walk forward,
    and be whole\complete amont the people



    ואולי יבוא יום ונהפוך שווים
    אתה תהיה לי נחל ואני לך ימים
    ונזרום ביחד עד אין סוף
    שנייה לפני שקו החוף מגיע
    שנייה לפני שקו החוף מגיע

    and maybe, some day, we will become equals
    and you will be like a brook to me, and I will be
    for you the water of the sea, and we will flow together
    untill infinity, a second before the costline arives
    a second before, the costline arives



    אני בוכה אתה צוחק
    אני טועה אתה צודק
    זאת הצגה שלנו,
    ואין קהל ואין במה.
    אולי נשב ננוח,
    אתה, אתה.
    אני, אני.
    וגם תחלוף הרוח,
    ויעברו כל השנים.

    I cry, you laugh
    I am wrong, you are right
    It is our show
    and there are no audience, and there is no stage
    maybe, we shel sit and rest
    you, you (it means - you by yourself)
    me, me (it means - me by myself)
    and the wind will blow
    and the years will pass away....

    אין כיוון לרוח
    המרחב פתוח
    האופק לא נגמר

    anything can happen
    there is no direction for the wind
    the wide open space
    the infinite horizion


    הכל יכול לקרות
    מאהבה נתפרת
    או מפרידה נפרמת
    בסוף כלום לא נשאר

    anything can happen,
    from love I am swen
    and from brake up, I am unravel
    and in the end, nothing is left\ nothing remains



    אבל תמיד
    יש מישהו ששומע
    שומר עלי יודע
    שאני לא אוותר

    but there is always someone,
    that listens, and takes care of me,
    that I wont give in\give up


    רוצה שתשאר עד שיגמר
    הטירוף הלילה
    עד קצה יום אחר

    I want you to stay, untill this
    craziness\madness, will end tonight
    untill the end of another day


    הכל יכול לקרות
    אין דבר קבוע
    אין שומדבר בטוח
    שיקרה או לא יקרה

    anything can happen,
    nothing is perment
    nothing is for sure, that something will happen,
    or maybe nothing will happen


    כי הכל יכול לקרות
    רכבת שדוהרת
    שאף פעם לא עוצרת
    באותה התחנה

    because anything can happen
    a train that drives, and never stops
    at the same station


    שחרר אותי
    עם בדידותי בחדר
    קח שבר ועוד שבר
    ותדביק אותי

    let me go\let me be alone
    with my lonliness in my room
    take the pieces, piece by piece
    and glew the pieces together,
    and make me whole again.


    עוד פעם מחדש
    עד המבול הבא
    עד שלא יכאב כבר
    עד שירגע

    once more, again,
    untill the next flood
    untill it wont hurt again
    untill everything will calm\will be calmer again.

    לילה עלי מאיר,
    ובחוצות העיר
    בין רחובות דוממים, עומדת
    שוב לא נותן סיבה, להישאר איתך
    גלה מה אתה עוד מסתיר, ספר לי...

    the night shines\illuminates on me,
    and I stand among the open streets alone
    again, you don't give me any reason to stay together
    tell me more, what you are hiding? ....tell me...


    למה אין אף אחד,
    לילות ארוכים בינינו
    ולמה הכאב מסרב,
    לא עוזב את שנינו
    למה אין אף אחד
    לילות שטפו אותנו
    ולמה הכאב, מסרב לעבור...

    why, there is no one
    long nights separates us
    (long nights between us)
    and why the pain, does'nt leave us alone
    why there is no one
    the nights washed us away
    and why the pain, refuses to\does'nt go away


    קשה לי לראות עכשיו
    אם זה אולי לשווא
    יש בי עוד קצת אמונה בשנינו
    בלי המרחק הזה, ואם רק ננסה
    גלה מה אתה שוב מסתיר, ספר לי...

    it is hard for me to see now
    that maybe, everything was for nothing
    there still some faith left in me, that believes in us
    without this distance, and if we only just try,
    tell me again, what you are hinding?, tell me....

    מסובב ת'ראש אל הכיוון הלא נכון
    נתפס לי הצוואר בפעם המיליון
    פתאום אנו תקועים כשמבטי במבטך
    עכשיו כשאת כבר כאן
    לאן בדיוק אלך

    I turn my head to the wrong direction
    my neck caught up, for the million time
    and suddenly, we are stuck, when we gaze each other
    now that you are not here
    to where do I go from here?


    אז מה - מה כבר אעשה
    אהבה כמוך לא מתאפשרת
    זה מה שאני רוצה
    אז מה - מה כבר אעשה
    אהבה כמוך רק מייסרת
    אהבה על הקצה

    so what- what will I do now
    a love like yours, is not possible
    that is what I want
    love like yours, only makes me miserable
    love that is on the edge



    את כל כך יפה
    הייתכן -
    שאהבת אותי כבר פעם
    עשית אותי מסכן
    את כל כך יפה
    הייתכן -
    שהיינו כבר ביחד
    בגלגול קודם

    you are so beautiful
    can it be-
    that you once loved me
    you made me so miserabel
    you are so beautiful
    can it be-
    that once, in our past life, we where together



    מסובב ת'אוזן ומקשיב לכל מילה
    למרות שאת שותקת זה נשמע כמו צעקה
    שם את כף ידך כל כך עמוק בכך ידי
    תהיי פחות שלו - תהיי יותר שלי

    I turn my head, and listen to every word
    even though, you are quiet, it sound like you are shouting
    I put the palm of your hand, so deep in mine
    be less his- be more mine


    אז מה - מה כבר אעשה
    אהבה כמוך לא מדברת
    זה מה שאני רוצה
    אז מה - מה כבר אעשה
    אהבה כמוך תמיד נגמרת
    אהבה על הקצה

    so what - what will I do now
    love like yours, doesn't talk\speaks
    that is what I want,
    so what - what will I do now
    love like yours, always ends
    love that is on the edge

    וכולם נחמדים כאן אומרים לך מילים
    התרגלת שיש מי שאומר
    כמה שאת מוכשרת ושאת גדולה
    שהשיר החדש מצמרר

    and everybody here are nice, and telling you words
    you got used to, that there is always someone that says
    how talanted and how great you are
    and that the new song is amazing


    ואיזה יופי שהולך לך ככה בקלות
    אבל את לא תשימי לב זה יגמר
    ואז מישהו יאמר, הזמן שלך עבר
    ועכשיו תני למישהו אחר

    and how wonderful, that everything is going so easly to you
    but, don't pay any attention, it will be over someday,
    and someone will say, that your time will pass
    and now, you should give it to someone ealse
    (meaning: and now, it someone's ealses time to shine....)


    וזה לא אמיתי אז אל תאמיני
    זו לא את זו מישהי אחרת
    תחייכי חזרה ותתני נשיקה
    איך יפה לך כשאת מאופרת
    וזה לא חשוב, אז אל תחשבי
    שחשוך כאן ורק את זוהרת

    and it is not real, so don't believe it
    it is not you, it is someone ealse
    smile back, and give a kiss
    and it does'nt matter, so don't think about it
    that it's dark here, and only you shine\glow


    זה שברי זכוכיות ומתכת זולה
    לענוד לצוואר על שרשרת

    it is the pieces of the broken galasses and cheap steel
    to wear as a necklace on your neck


    שוב אותן מחמאות ואותם עלבונות
    מה לשמוע ומה לבטל
    כי בסוף זו רק את וחוץ מעצמך
    לא נשאר לך את מי לקלל
    ואפשר להבטיח גם את הבטחה
    שחייבת בסוף לקיים
    להיות האחת או להיות אף אחת
    לזרוח או להעלם...

    again, the same compliments, and the same insults
    what to listen, what to cancel
    because in the end\beacuse eventually, it is just you
    and besides you, there is no one to curse
    and you can make the promise
    that you obligated to fulfill
    to be the one, or to be nothing\or to be a nobody
    (you decide if you want( to shine\glow or to disappear


    וזה לא אמיתי, אז אל תאמיני
    זו לא את, זו מישהי אחרת
    תחייכי חזרה ותתני נשיקה
    איך יפה לך כשאת מאופרת
    וזה לא חשוב אז אל תחשבי
    שחשוך כאן ורק את זוהרת

    and it is not real, so don't believe
    it is not you, it is someone ealse
    it suits to be all made up with the make up on
    (means: you look beautiful when you look made up)
    and it does'nt matter, so don't think about it
    that it's dark here, and only just shine\glow



    זה שברי זכוכיות ומתכת זולה
    לענוד לצוואר על שרשרת
    והם לא מכירים אותך, לא באמת
    ורובם לא יבין לעולם
    איך בסוף הופעה מכבים את האור
    את נשארת לבד כמו כולם
    אבל יש מי שיודע יביט בך עייף
    ויגיד בחיוך המריר
    שנעים לך וכייף, אבל כל זה חולף
    ובסוף
    מה שיש לך
    זה שיר...

    it is the pieces of the broken galasses and the cheap steel
    to wear as a necklace on your neck
    and they don't know you, not realy (at all)
    and most of them, will never do (never will understand you)
    how in the end the of the show\performance, they turn out\off the light
    and you stay alone, like everyone ealse
    but there always be someone that is tired, and will look at you
    and will say in a bitter smile, that you feel great, and that you are having fun
    but eventually, everything passes, and in the end,
    what is left for you it is just the song... (that is all)

    Thank you once again!

    I know many of the songs that you posted the video clips for. I love Kobi Aflalo, "Yam Harachamim" is beautiful as well as "Shir Gagu'im" which is one of my all time favorite songs ever, lol. I recently bought the CD that those songs come from when I was in Israel last month, but I understand he has a new one out now as well. I need to check it out, as I heard one of the tracks and I LOVED it, of course!

    I also have both of Shiri Maimon's CD's and I also have Ninette Tayeb's CD so I am very familiar with the song clips posted. I think "Hi Yodaat" is probably one of my favorite videos!

    ואת יושבת בקרבי

    you are my grace
    and you are my home
    you are my serinity,

    throug all the dillamas and through all the changes,
    I am staying with you, and through all the melodies,
    and different directions in life, I am still yours


    כי את, מה שהלב שלי בחר
    אחרי כל מה שהוא עבר, את
    כן את. מה שהלב שלי בחר
    ואל חיקך תמיד חזר, את.

    because you are what my heart have chosen
    and after all what he have been through- it is you - yes, - you

    קרוב אלייך לרגשותייך

    אנא סלחי לי אם לא אמרתי
    את בחדרי אהבתי

    I am close to you, and close to your feelings,
    and with you - it is real
    so, please forgive me, if I didn't say that you are
    in the rooms of my heart (..that you are in my heart)


    את מיוחדת אני יודע

    you are so speciel, that is I know
    and that is the secret that connects\bonds us (together)
    and without your words, I am a nomad, a nobody that has nothing

    ביציאה מהקולנוע עומדים ומעשנים
    אני אקרא לך בקול וזה באמת תהיה אתה
    אנחנו בטח נתחבק ונחשב את השנים
    אתה תציג לי בחורה שעכשיו אתה איתה
    בדרך אל המכונית אתה תסביר לה מי אני
    ובחצי התנצלות כי זה נגמר קצת לא ברור
    וגם אני וודאי אסביר אותך לכל מיני גברים
    זה לא יכול להיות הסוף של הסיפור

    we are standing and smoking near the excit of the cinema
    I'll shout your name out loud, and it is realy you
    we will probably hug each other, and we both count the years
    you will interduce me to your girl friend that you are seeing\dating
    and to the way to the car, you will explain to her, who I am in a kind
    of half apolgizing, because our brake up was not so clear to us
    and I also, probably, will explain you, to all other men


    זה לא יכול להיות הסוף
    כי חסרה הכריעה על הברך
    או טריקה של הדלת
    ולא מפגש של עגלות באמצע השדרה

    it can't be the end
    because what is missing is the bending on the knees
    or the slaming of the door
    and not just a meeting, in the middle of the street


    אולי עוד כמה ק"ג
    אולי טיפה פחות שיער
    אתה אולי יפה כמו פעם
    הלב שלי אולי ידפוק
    ואני כמו תמיד אצלי תמיד אותו דבר
    אני אזרוק איזה משפט
    ואז נצחק ואז נשתוק
    וזה לא יכול להיות הרי הסוף של הסיפור
    זה לא יכול להיות שככה זה נגמר
    ואלוהים הרי יודע שרציתי לדבר
    אבל הייתי מתקשרת אם היה לי מה לומר

    maybe I need to gane some weight
    or maybe I need to cut my hair
    maybe you are beautiful like you were
    and maybe my heart will beat
    and I as always, everything is the same with me
    I will say something, and we both lough about it,
    and than we will be in quiet
    and it can't be the end of the story
    it can't be, that it is ovr like that
    and god knows, that I wanted to talk
    but I would have called, if I had something to say



    ביציאה מהקולנוע בעוד חמש או שש שנים
    אני עומדת עם בחור אולי חבר אולי יותר
    לשנייה אני חושבת שזיהיתי את הפנים
    אני צועקת את השם אבל זה מישהו אחר

    form the cinema excit, about five or six years (from now)
    I am standing whith a guy, that might be a friend, or maybe more
    than just a friend..and just for a second I think I recognized the face
    (familiar face)and I shout the name, but it is someone ealse

    Idan Raichel's Project - from the depth of the sea

    Out of the depths I called unto you, come
    Your return shall rekindle the spark in my eyes
    Neither done nor forsaken the touch of your hand
    To the sound of your laughter shall glow here again

    Out of the depths I called unto you, come
    'neath a moon that shines brightly your way back to me
    In your ear whisper ask again

    Who is it that calls to you tonight, listen
    Who sings aloud under your window
    Who stakes his soul just for you to be happy
    Who'll lend his hand to build you a home
    Who'll lay his life down under your footsteps
    Who like the earth at your feet shall live on
    Who'll love you better than all of your lovers
    Who'll save you from the rage of the storm
    Out of the depths

    Mai Nahar (River Waters)
    Flowing waters of the river
    See
    These are the days of your life
    The waters of your life
    Washed in the current
    That begins with the first rain

    Flowing water of the river
    See
    These are the streams of water
    That will reach an anguished desert
    With the falling silence

    Even if I drink the entire ocean
    It will not quench my thirst
    For another day close to you
    For another day in your arms
    Even if I sit under the sun
    Her rays will not burn me
    As my heart burns in the flames of your love
