עומר אדם אבא

I just happened to come across this fine song on youtube....

I'm so curious to know what it is about

You dont have to translate it if you dont want to, but i keep hearing the word Abba

which means father, in Hebrew if i am not mistaken.

Have a good week!

Thank you,

Aba, chaver amar li lichtov shir alecha
Al kol ma sheraiti befanecha
Al ha'shalva le lo milim
Ha'nichochot vehatzlilim
Hakol haya kol kach yafe beeinecha

Aba, zocher et hashvilim lebeit hasefer
Et kol hamanginot betoch ha'cheder
Kshe'hekshavta eich ani shar
Im ha'mabat hameushar
Ve'ha'chiyuch ha'mitchabe bein sfatecha

Aba, al hadrachim sheko ahavta letapeach
Ani halachti venisiti lenatzeach
Ve'lo tamid hevanti ech
Ki lo hakol holech
Ani shoneh mimcha aval meod kamocha

Aba, habayit hayashan mizman eineno
Avarnu, hitkadamnu, hishtanenu
Umemalim et ha'chaser
Bepartzufim domim yoter
Le'ma she kol echad chashav she chaser lo

Aba, al hadrachim sheko ahavta letapeach
Ani halachti venisiti lenatzeach
Ve'lo tamid hevanti ech
Ki lo hakol holech
Ani shoneh mimcha aval meod kamocha

Aba, hazman avar ve lo dibarnu
Aba, slach li
Lakach li zman kdei lehavin- ata shayach li
Kmo she'ani shayach lecha
Kmo Sheani ohev otcha
Bo lo nishmo bifnim yoter ve'nedaber

TRANSLATION:

Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you
About all I saw within you
About the serenity beyond words
The scents and the sounds
Everything was so beautiful in your eyes

Dad, I remember the roads to the school
All of the tunes in the room
When you listened to how I sang
With the joyful look
And the smile that hid between your lips

Dad, on the paths that you so loved to cherish
I went and tried to succeed
And I didn't always understand how
Because it doesn't always work
I am different from you, but so much like you

Dad, the old house has been gone for some time
We've moved, gone forward,
And fill in what is missing
With similar faces
To what everyone thought was missing

Dad, on the paths that you so loved to cherish
I went and tried to succeed
And I didn't always understand how
Because it doesn't all work
I am different from you, but so much like you

Dad, the time has passed and we haven't spoken
Dad, forgive me
It took me time to understand- you belong to me
Just like how I belong to you
Just like how I love you
Let's not keep it inside anymore and let's talk
