Arik Einstein's Lyrics
It Suddenly Fell On Her (Zeh Pitom Nafal Aleiha)
Words: Arik Einstein
Music: Shem Tov Levy
Translation: Larry Yudelson
Zeh pitom nafal aleiha This suddenly fell on her
V'shinah lah et chayeiha And changed her life
Shina et col chayeiha Changed her whole life
Min hakzeh el hakzeh From end to end
V'achshav kodrim shameiha And now her skies darken
Ananim yardu aleiha Clouds descended on her
V'shina et col chayeiha And Changed her whole life
Min hakzeh el hakzeh From end to end
V'ani choshev aleiha And I think about her
Ach pa'am lo yodeia You never know
Af pa'am lo yodeia You never know
Im lavo o lo lavo Whether to come or not to come
C'she'ani cvar ba aleiha When I already come to her
Nogeah lo nogeah Touch - don't don't touch
Mabit el toch eineiha Look within her eyes
V'roeh et hateshuva And see the answer
V'shuv oleh haboker And the morning rises again
Shotefet et paneiha Washes her face
Lobeshet chiyocheiha Puts on her smile
Yotzet el hachayim Goes out to the living
Choreket b'shineiha Grates her teeth
Mastira et dimoteiha Hides her tears
M'aferet et eineiha Makes up her eyes
Chozeret l'chayim Returns to life
