I sew and sew
the sea won't stop growling
i remember your face
as if it were today.
Ah, how much we laughed then
my head full of golden curly hair
to those days there was a flavor
of an apple tree in spring
I said: "Come during twilight
and invite me to go for a stroll
my address is HaGalil number 2.
first floor, on the right..."
You must ring twice
need to wait for a brief moment
and then the two doors will open
and so we'll meet in a glance
You must ring twice
come in and say: "Good Evening,
i came in to you in a moment
because i passed in the street."
And thus, until that evening came
they washed the noisy sidewalks
your words tortured me like a saber
your words hit me like a whip
I kept quiet, i knew nothing
tears choked in my throat
we separated... and suddenly i heard
in the doorway the ringing of the bell -
For a moment i delayed opening
delayed from pain and light
why did you hurry to flee?
why did you hurry? tell me...
You must ring twice...
I sew and sew...
If an occasion will be and you'll come
again to pass here in the street
remember that in the home is tranquility
remember that a light is on1
Come if you wish like before
nothing needs to be renewed
no need for sorrow and pain
no need to ask for forgiveness
You must ring twice....
1. here for you
