Shira Zloof asks what’s wrong with her for not trembling with love. She says there is no knight on a white horse in the middle of Florentin, showing her disappointment with reality.
Af Pa’am Lo HirgashtiI’ve never felt,
Mashehu Amiti Ulai Ki Hithamakartisomething real, maybe ’cause I’m addicted.
Ze Fisfes OtiIt just passed me by.
Potakhat Televizyah Pit’om Ha’metziut SheliI turn on the TV, and suddenly my own reality,
Nir’at Li Atzuvah Ve’ani Me’ukhezevetlooks so sad, and I’m just disappointed,
Me’atzmi She’ani Lo Ro’edetin myself that I’m not trembling.
She’ha’lev Lo Dofek MaherThat my heart doesn’t pound,
Im Ra’iti Et Ze Be’khol Seretwhen I’ve seen it in every single movie.
Eikh Ani Lo Matzlikha LeshakhzerHow come I can’t recreate it?
Ma Lo Beseder BiWhat’s wrong with me?
Ma Lo Beseder BiWhat’s wrong with me?
Ulai Ze Rak Inyan Shel ZmanMaybe it’s just a matter of time.
Kvar Lo Nish’ar Li Be’mah Leha’aminThere’s nothing left for me to believe in,
Ki Ein Abir Al Sus Lavan Ba’emtza Florentinbecause there’s no knight on a white horse in the middle of Florentin.
Shuv Ani Ba’bayit Shoka’at Ba’sapahHere I am again, at home, sinking into the sofa,
Ha’avir Nigmar Liand I’m running out of air.
Ani Lo YekholaI can’t,
Lakhshov Yoter Aleikhastop thinking about you.
Al Ha’khiuch ShelkhaAbout your smile,
Nir’ah Li She’nafalti KhazakI think I’ve fallen hard.
Le’miskhak MesubakhInto a complicated game,
Ve’eikh Ha’ritzpah Po Ro’edetand the floor beneath me is trembling.
Ve’ha’lev Dofek MaherAnd my heart is pounding fast,
Garon Yavesh Kol Ha’kheder Ro’eshmy throat’s dry, the whole room is roaring.
Ani Lo Matzlikha LedaberI can’t even speak.
Ma Lo Beseder BiWhat’s wrong with me?
Ma Lo Beseder BiWhat’s wrong with me?
Ulai Ze Rak Inyan Shel ZmanMaybe it’s just a matter of time.
Kvar Lo Nish’ar Li Be’mah Leha’aminThere’s nothing left for me to believe in,
Ki Ein Abir Al Sus Lavan Ba’emtza Florentinbecause there’s no knight on a white horse in the middle of Florentin.
