Ayelet chen, ayelet chen
Be galut tismacheni
U ba layla, u ba layla
Betoch cheyka meloni

In your eyes
I see something distant
Waiting for

In your eyes
I see something constant
Longing for

The smallest hands
I've ever seen
But hard as steel
The straightest back
That's ever been
Deep inside you're shivering

And I feel you
Every time I look in the mirror
I feel you
Don't hide your tears away from me
I feel you
Every time I look in the mirror
I feel you

Ayelet chen, ayelet chen
Be galut tismacheni
U ba layla, u ba layla
Betoch cheyka meloni

In my ear you would always whisper
Soothing words
I could hear in your voice beauty
Different worlds

Too proud to ever ben
Forest Hills Napoleon
The village girl turned city cat
Desert in your velvet hat
Strength of will turning wheels
Handkerchief and faded heels
Silver hair, cheeks of rouge
And a heart that's huge

And I feel you
Every time I look in the mirror
I feel you
Don't hide your tears away from me
I feel you
Every time I look in the mirror
I feel you

Ayelet chen, ayelet chen
Be galut tismacheni
U ba layla, u ba layla
Betoch cheyka meloni

Every time I look in the mirror and see your eyes
