אילו יכולתי [Ilu yacholti] [English translation]

Mother,

The lullaby you sung long time ago is hunting me, where should I run, where?

If I could, I would forget how I came here.

Mother,

I cannot escape your witchcraft, my eyes gone suddenly dark.

If I could, I would return to you today.

Mother, oh mother,

How in my blood, the deep of my soul, your mind is fest.

Mother, oh mother,

You and me, in hate and love, between might and weakness.

Mother,

How I wished you would hug and stroke and believe in me,

If I could, I would tear you out of my heart.

Mother,

I have no home in my room, in my bed and I have no rest,

if I could, I would cry another salty tear.

Mother,

You know, I am upright and strong, like you in any situation,

If I could I would thank you now.

Mother, oh mother...

Mother, oh mother...

If I could, I would cry another salty tear.

Mother, oh mother...

If I could I would thank you now.
