ים של דמעות [Yam Shel Dma'ot] [English translation]

Long have been the nights since you've left,

The spring, like the autumn, is so grey,

And in my heart memories that you already forgot,

And a pray, an honest pray you'll return.

A sea of tears in my eyes,

My heart shouts out, 'return to me',

My voice breaks down the silence,

Will you hear?

Will you hear?

Silent has been my room, since you've left,

The clock on the wall - its heart has stopped.

And alone in the corner is the chair that you loved,

Without you the world is so orphaned.

A sea of tears...

'I shall return my child', so you promised,

'Just wait and stay mine',

As the time passed, you sent me only a single letter,

The pages have faded long ago, just like my hair.

A sea of tears...
