געגועים [Ga'ahguim] [English translation]

And on Saturday morning there isn't anyone to call

and tell how the performance went

and dad doesn't ask: was there an audience

and mom doesn't say: you sound tired

And when they write about me

some harsh word

i'm still anxious

that dad won't read them

that mom won't know

i want to be a good girl

And don't pass by the house on the way north

and don't stop there on the way back

and the porch from which they would wave at me greetings

hangs like an empty cradle

And when they write about me

some kind word

i still hope

that dad already heard

that mom is proud

i want to be a good girl

I'm not crying

i only long for them

So many faces

so many ears

and no one to sing for

always songs for two

and when the two have gone away

sing to the heavens

I'm not crying

i only long for them
