Kol Yom Matchila Shana
Ha-rakia od bahir
Akh ba-erev kvar karir
Ba-khalon asher pone la-yam
I efshar ulay lomar
She-ha-kayitz kvar nigmar
Akh ha-shemesh mit’ayef yoter mukdam

Al ha-deshe ba-khatzer
Yom matchil le-hitkatzer
Akh od kmo davar lo hishtana
Im ata yadid emet
Ha’amod panim ka’et
Al tagid li she-avra kvar od shana

Lo, ze lo yakhol lihyot
Ha-shanim hen lo shniyot
Im tabit tukhal lir’ot
She-klum lo hishtana
Kol khushai mitkomemim
Ten li od kama yamim
Lo hispakti shum davar ha-shana

Lo, ze lo yakhol lihyot
Ha-shanim hen lo shniyot
Im tabit tukhal lir’ot
She-klum lo hishtana
Kol khushai mitkomemim
Ten li od kama yamim
Lo hispakti shum davar ha-shana

Ein od geshem be-anan
Al tikpots al kol siman
Al tered lifnei ha-takhana
Al tir’e li ba-yoman
Tihye kmo av rakhman
Al te’ir oti, ani od yeshena

Lo, ze lo yakhol lihyot
Ha-shanim hen lo shniyot
Im tabit tukhal lir’ot
She-klum lo hishtana
Kol khushai mitkomemim
Ten li od kama yamim
Lo hispakti shum davar ha-shana

Every Day a New Year Begins

The sky’s still clear
but in the evening it’s already cold
in the window that turns to the sea
perhaps it’s impossible to say
that the summer already over
but the sun gets tired earlier
on the grass in a yard
a day starts to get shorter
but still as though nothing changed
if you are a true friend
hold your face now
don’t tell me that another year’s already passed

No this can’t be
years are not seconds
if you look you’ll be able to see
that nothing changed
all my senses rebel
give me a few more days
I didn’t manage to do anything this year.

give me a few more days
I didn’t manage to do anything this year.

There’s no rain in the clouds yet
don’t jump at each sign
don’t get off before the stop
don’t show me in the journal
be like a merciful father
don’t wake me I’m still sleeping

No this can’t be
years are not seconds
if you look you’ll be able to see
that nothing changed
all my senses rebel
give me a few more days
I didn’t manage to do anything this year.

Year year
year another year
year year
don’t tell me that another year’s already passed…
