כל העולם [Kol haolam] [English translation]

And others loved you before me

perhaps crazily, perhaps sanely

and perhaps not even close to what i imagine

And you had loves

perhaps lasting, perhaps temporary

and perhaps i don't have anything original left to say to you

Because you already heard it all

and your lips already know another taste

and ya'alla also another body

it scratches my heart

because before i came

you experienced a complete world

whereas when i met you

you became the whole world for me

And so i'm the one that usually

drys others hearts

inventing cliches

and how is it that when you came

suddenly my head only wants to think

about what they whispered to you at night

perhaps comforting, perhaps obscenities

and every time i almost travel around you and touch

know that i am crazy about you1

Because you already heard it all

and your lips already know another taste

and ya'alla also another body

it scratches my heart

because before i came

you experienced a complete world

whereas when i met you

you became the whole world for me

And perhaps not even close to what i imagine

because you already heard it all

and your lips already know another taste

and ya'alla also another body

it scratches my heart

because before i came

you experienced a complete world

whereas when i met you

you became the whole world for me
