Milim

Shuv ha’etzev kan, shuv hapakhad kan The sadness is here again, the fear is here again Vehasof nirkam bekhaloni And the end embroidered in my window Zgugit sduka veshuv shtika Cracked glass panel and silence again Muteshet uzruka bedimyoni Weary and discarded in my imagination Haor nirdam, dmaot shel dam sorfot li bagaron The light fell asleep, tears of blood scorch my throat Yadit sruta, tikra shmuta Scratched handle, sloping ceiling Kshe’ani shar lakh et hashir haakharon When I sing to you the last song Hish’art li rak milim, miklat bein hatzlalim You left me only words, shelter between the shadows Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish’art li rak milim, zer shel man’ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish’art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words Kirot shotkim akhshav uma lakakht keshebarakht? Walls are silent now, and what have you taken when you run away? Ken, ma lakakht? Bamilkhama hazot ulay nitzakht Yes, what have you taken? In this war you might have won Uma nish’ar li kshe’alakht? And what I was left with when you went away? Hish’art li rak milim, miklat bein hatzlalim You left me only words, shelter between the shadows Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish’art li rak milim, zer shel man’ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish’art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words Hish’art li rak milim, miklat bein hatzlalim You left me only words, shelter between the shadows Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish’art li rak milim, zer shel man’ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish’art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words Gam lakerakh kar, ksheani nizkar And even the ice feels cold, when I remember Ekh at hayom mulo, mueret betzilo How today you’re in front of him, lighted in his shade Nishberet bishvilo, et hamilim shehish’art li Breaks down for him, the words you’ve left me At akhshav omeret lo You’re now telling him Hish’art li rak milim, miklat bein hatzlalim You left me only words, shelter between the shadows Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish’art li rak milim, zer shel man’ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish’art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish’art li rak milim, zer shel man’ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish’art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words
