Lyrics

Regaim sfurim raiti et ha'tov
Hirgashti shehu achen karov
Ratziti lifros knafaim ve'lauf
Hirgashti kmo dvora hamishtokeket el ha'tzuf

Ach knafay pitom ibdu et kocham
Bin rega hitmotet alay ha'olam
Heychan ota tzipor chofshiyaumeusheret?
Ech ha'yom ani kol kach acheret?

Alakek ptsaay, alatef knafay
Hachalushot bemakor
Ashuv ve'achapes, achapes li et ha'derech
Et ha'derech el ha'or

Ach knafay pitom ibdu et kocham
Bin rega hitmotet alay ha'olam
Heychan ota tzipor chofshiyaumeusheret?
Ech ha'yom ani kol kach acheret?

Ach knafay pitom ibdu et kocham
Bin rega hitmotet alay ha'olam
Heychan ota tzipor chofshiyaumeusheret?
Ech ha'yom ani kol kach acheret?

English translation

For a few minutes I saw the good
I felt it's close
I wanted to use my wings and fly
I felt like a bee which comes to the honeydew

But suddenly my wings lost their power
In a minute the world fell on me
Where is that free and happy bird?
Why today I'm so different?

I'll lick my hurts, I'll pat my weak
Wings with my bill
I'll search again, search for the way
For the way to the light

But suddenly my wings lost their power
In a minute the world fell on me
Where is that free and happy bird?
Why today I'm so different?

But suddenly my wings lost their power
In a minute the world fell on me
Where is that free and happy bird?
Why today I'm so different?
