Jacques Brel - La chanson des vieux amants (Hebrew) - Ahava bat esrim
Ahava bat esrim

Hebrew lyrics: Yossi Banai
Music and original lyrics: Jacques Brel

Yadanu esh yadanu ra'am
Veahava bat esrim
Barakhnu ze mizo lo pa'am
Aval hainu khozrim
Vekheder ze odo shomer
Zichron yamim yafim yoter
Ikvot sufa asher parkha la
Kan shum davar eino dome
Leasher avar leasher khomek
Leasher holech itanu hala.

Yafa sheli at yekhida mechushafa sheli
Meor hashakhar ad levo lejli - ohev otach ohev adain

Ani makir et kishufaich
At hashkarim at hasodot
Tzarich tamid ligkoakh ain
Lehishamer memalkodot
Uveleilot hachi karim
Hayu vadai gam akherim
Sheet gufech hesbiu nakhat
Hen akharei kichlot hakol
Haya li kisharon gadol
Lehizdaken itach beyahad.

Yafa sheli at yehida mechushafa sheli
Meor hashakhar ad levo lejli - ohev otach ohev adain

Hazman shir evel menagen od
Vehayamim koavim
Ach ein malkodet mesukenet
Keshilvatam shel ohavim
Im at rotza achshav livkot
Libi achshav nikra pakhot
Yesh bizhirut achshav lalechet
Ze kav hagvul mekan ad kan
Ki hamshak hu mesukan
Hamilkhama beroch nimshechet

Yafa sheli at yehida mechushafa sheli
Meor hashakhar ad levo lejli - ohev otach ohev adain
