Mami
Etmol od tiyalti barechov levadi
Etmol od hayiti barechov im atzmi
Lo samti katzof, lo ra’iti partzuf
Chalamti lihyot levadi sham bachutz
Azavti et habayit hachamim
Azavti gam tnu’a chaver tamim

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

Lo koret itonim, lo ro’a anashim
Lo koret shavu’onim, lo rotza yerachonim
Rotza rak lihyot levadi im atzmi
Rotza rak livkot levadi, levadi
Azavti et hakol sham basalon
Zarakti et hakol toch shiga’on

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

Ratziti liktof levadi et hapri
Ratziti limtzo levadi et oshri
Matzati milim acherot, rechokot
Matzati milim stam zrukot barachovot
Azavti li horim beken chamim
Ve’ma achshav notar rak rachamim

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

Mami
Yesterday I still wandered the street alone
Yesterday I was still in the street by myself
I didn’t care, I didn’t see a face
I dreamed of being alone out there
I left the warm home
I also left a movement, an innocent friend

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

I don’t read newspapers, I don’t see people
I don’t read weeklies, I don’t want monthlies
I only want to be alone with myself
I only want to cry alone, all alone
I left everything there in the living room
I threw everything away in a moment of madness

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

I wanted to pick the fruit alone
I wanted to find my happiness alone
I found other words, distant ones
I found words just scattered in the streets
I left parents in a warm nest
And what’s left now? Only pity

Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma
Mami, mami, mami, mami
Mami, mami, mami, ma

Note:
The word Mami in the song carries a dual meaning, which can be interpreted both as a term of endearment for a mother and for a lover. This ambiguity allows for personal interpretation, deepening the emotional connection of the song for each listener.
