Isha Al Hachof

Woman of the Night

Isha Al Hachof

If you decide to walk at nightIm titkonen lalechet belaila kar
To the edge of the river, where memories fadeEl ever hanamal, bamarina hanishkachat
For sure you'll see a woman dressed in blackBetach tir'e isha ota shchorim
In the breeze of the night, waiting for dawn to breakBaru'ach hahoma, mamtina levo hashachar

So it goes until the end of the nightKach ad sof halaila
On the edge, she stands stillal hamezach hi nitsevet
Her dark silhouette in the wind, it lingersHachats'it shchora shela baruach hi noshevet
This is what she hopes for, the man she lovesKacha metsapa hi el ha'ish shehi ohevet
Maybe tonight he’ll come backShe'ulai halaila yachazor

Who was the one she loved,Mi ahuva haya hu,
Who was the man that left her behind?mi ha'ish asher ota natash?
What a mystery, which way did he go?Ei hiflig hu, be'eizo Derech?

And in the calm of the days,Uvnahamat hayamim,
In the darkness,bishchorim,
Every night renewskol laila mechadash
The beating of her heart breaking freeEt chidat liba poteret

So it goes until the end of the nightKach ad sof halaila
On the edge, she stands stillal hamezach hi nitsevet
Her dark silhouette in the wind, it lingersHachats'it shchora shela baruach hi noshevet
This is what she hopes for, the man she lovesKacha metsapa hi el ha'ish shehi ohevet
Maybe tonight he’ll come backShe'ulai halaila yachazor
