לילה [Laila] [English translation]

Over the treetops are the wisps of clouds

when the moon shakes its head at the garden, gives a sign

"it's OK to sit"

the same bench there in the corner

collects the same amount of dew

and becomes wet

"Take a towel"

says the night and lies down

Chorus

The night

he doesn't give any sign

he is blind, he directs

the movements of an abundance of fireflies

he relates tales

and he thinks that children believe in this

from a night such as this

such as this.

Through the windows the lights were put out long ago

and two green eyes send a symphony of wailing

a minor scale

in my house the babies

wailing in breaks

it pinches the heart

"hey mom, wake up"

says the night and lies down

Chorus

The wind starts and whistles a thousand melodies

covering the courtyard, holds her breath

because a visitor comes

the moon rounds it's mouth

in such a friendly smile

and combs his hair - you are bald

Says the night and laughs

Chorus
