תרקוד [Tirkod] [English translation]

Dance, she told me, dance

the Cypress trees didn't know whether to laugh or cry

dance as long as you can

i am not built for a dance lesson.

Her young head on mine

you will not find anymore Cypress trees like these in the city

love as long as you are able

by the way, she said love me

Until today quite strange

didn't understand a thing

it is either her young age or my old age

until today in the area of five and thirty

a shadow falls from the tops of the Cypress trees

she says: forget it, it is this type of sunset

Dance, she told me, dance

the Cypress trees are in heaven, we are still here

dance without stopping

we are not able to leave here

Until today quite strange

didn't understand a thing

it is either her young age or my old age

until today in the area of five and thirty

a shadow falls from the tops of the Cypress trees

she says: forget it, it is this type of sunset

It is ok to let go1

at her age i also touched a Cypress tree

better to dance for half a minute

better than to lose her

Until today quite strange

didn't understand a thing

it is either her young age or my old age

until today in the area of five and thirty

a shadow falls from the tops of the Cypress trees

she says: forget it, it is this type of sunset

Now between a few Cypress trees

i am the one that dances

quite alone...

1. lit: lose your head
