גיטרה וכינור [Gitara ve Kinor] [English translation]

In a small apartment, a bit dark

not far from here, in a side alley

lives a man and a woman

surviving from all that comes to hand1

they are being carried around and around

he is a guitar, she is a violin

Changing a string when winter comes

she give him a look, he sinks in her

and afterwards a hand, a soft touch

he sends her a kiss in the air

curling around and around

like a guitar and violin

he in on time and she is on light

Friday nights, Saturday nights after the Sabbath ends

loving much, speaking little

playing a duet and at once

the sounds go up and the heart is quivering

they are being carried around and around

he is a guitar, she is a violin

When the summer come they spread their wings

in pursuit of a dream that they dreamt in the autumn

and they didn't say if they will return

from the mountains of Nepal, from the prairies of Peru

wandering there around and around

he in on time and she is on light

with a guitar and a violin

In a small apartment, a bit dark

not far from here, in a side alley

lives a man and a woman...

1. living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck, etc.
