Lady
Al gag be-binyan yashan levad mitgoreret
Al gag bli ma’alit, bli shchenim
Shanim et ha-madregot yom-yom od soferet
Shanim bli yeladim bli milim
Ba-rechovot ha-ir hi rokedet
Mi-tzara el tokh tzara
Ve-al rosha le-mazkeret
Migba’at gdola u-shchora

Ho, Lady rokedet la levad kol ha-yom
Ho, Lady, ho Lady, Lady
Rokedet la levad kol ha-yom
Ho, Lady, Lady im chalom

Kol yom ba-gan ha-tziburi et ha-chevra mesaderet
Kol yom, lo osa shum cheshbonot
Lo, lo yoda’at she-et ha-rosh hi rak shuv sheveret
Kol yom be-mischakim shel dimyonot
Ach et mi hi mefaseset?
Mi hish’ir ba tzalkot?
Mi hish’ir ba le-mazkeret
Migba’at ro’a rak shchorot?

Ho, Lady rokedet la levad kol ha-yom
Ho, Lady, ho Lady, Lady

Rokedet la levad kol ha-yom
Ho, Lady, Lady im chalom

Lady
On the roof of an old building she lives alone
On a roof with no elevator, no neighbors
For years she counts the stairs day after day
Years without children, without words
In the city streets she dances
From one trouble into another
And on her head, as a keepsake,
A big black hat

Oh, Lady dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, oh Lady, Lady
She dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, Lady with a dream

Every day in the public garden she arranges the kids
Every day, keeping no accounts at all
No, she doesn’t know she is only breaking her head again
Every day in games of imagination
But whom is she looking for?
Who left scars inside her?
Who left her as a reminder
A hat that sees only black?

Oh, Lady dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, oh Lady, Lady
She dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, Lady with a dream

Lady with a dream
How are you today?
The story is over
You make it bitter for me
Strange Lady
Why, why is it bad?
Lady, Lady, Lady

Oh, Lady dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, oh Lady, Lady
She dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, Lady with a dream

Oh, Lady dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, oh Lady, Lady
She dances all alone all day
Oh, Lady, Lady with a dream
