נתתי לה חיי [Natati La Chayay] [English translation]

Since the first days of history

When the world was naught but a theory

And none could tell the difference between tomorrow, the day before yesterday, and last night,

They used to fight of where should they put the sun

But one thing was agreed upon,

Whether man was stubborn,

Not a chance, no compensation,

That is what happened.

I gave her my life

I went down to my knees

All shall believe me

I have learned what is nothing and took offence.

Since then many bridges have passed over the water

And noon has already been invented.

They've yet to know the shape of the globe,

Whether it was a square, or a circle, or whatever it felt like.

But one thing they did know,

And that, they determined straight away,

If she refused - there is no hope,

That is what happened.

I gave her my life

I went down to my knees

All shall believe me

I have learned what is nothing and took offence.

Nowadays you will find that every argument

Is what came first - the egg or the apple,

One says his skies are ending

When there is enough air for a country or two.

Perhaps we can still manage,

She will want it, so we will overcome,

She had prevented any access,

That is what happened when...

I gave her my life

I went down to my knees

All shall believe me

I have learned what is nothing and took offence.
