And here are the lyrics:

Hebrew	English
Tu ai mera pyaar pe-la	(Words in Hindu, not Hebrew. They mean: You are my first love).
Ze lo omer she-ani lo af pa-am Ze rak ahshav az te-hak-e Ve-az avo k-she-ya-avor a-za-am Ve-az aha-zor ke-she-it-ba-er.	It doesn't mean that I am never, It's just now so wait And then I will come when the furry pass And then I will return when it clears up.
Ze lo omer she-ani lo hoshevet Aleha behol yom, kol sha-a Adain ein shalva ve-ein et asheket Ki bekol makom ola muli dmutha.	It doesn't mean I am not thinking About you each day, each hour. There is still not tranquility and no silence Because in every place, your figure rises in front of me.
Gam im kashe li le-agid milim yafot me-ele Gam im lo matzati dereh le-agid, sheani shel-ha Teda lahshov sherak otha ani o-evet Teda balev ani tamid itha Teda ani tamid tamid itha.	Even if it's hard for me to say prettier words than these. Even if I didn´t find a way to say, that I'm yours Know that I only love you Know in my heart, I am always with you Do know that I am always, always with you
Tu ai mera pyaar pe-la	(Words in Hindu, not Hebrew. They mean: You are my first love).
Ze lo omer shekah ve-ein a-heret Zo rak sufa beyom holef Ve-az tir-e eh kshetizrah ashemesh Ashuv eleiha min ageshem ashotef.	It doesn't mean that it's so and no other way. It's just a storm on a passing day And then you'll see how when the sun will shine I will return to you from the heavy rain.
Gam im kashe li le-agid milim yafot me-ele Gam im lo matzati dereh le-agid, sheani shel-ha Teda lahshov sherak otha ani o-evet Teda balev ani tamid itha Teda ani tamid tamid itha.	Even if it's hard for me to say prettier words than these. Even if I didn´t find a way to say, that I'm yours Know that I only love you Know in my heart, I am always with you Do know that I am always, always with you

Note: Don´t try to learn all the words you encounter, some of them are more important than others. Better to search for meaning of words that seem already familiar to you and that you have crossed over many times.

Hebrew	English
Ein li rosh lemilim arukot Veata min mila aruka shekazot Ciao yedidi vedash lehayeha Betikva shetavin et afreha Ashemesh shel Faradg koraat et ayam Ve-ani mafliga betoh akabkabim Lean sheyekhu a-orot ani sham Im alaka alipstik veshar dawin	I'm not in the mood for long words And you are a kind of a long word Ciao, my friend and regards to your life In the hope that you will understand the Freha. (Cheap girl) The sun of Faradj, tears up the sea And I sail along in my sandals Wherever the lights will take me, I'll be there With the nail polish ,the lipstick and rest of show-off.
Ki ba li lirkod, ba li shtuyot Ba li litzhok velo ba li aleha Ba li bayamim veba li baleylot Ba li litzok ani freha	Because, I want to dance, I want no-sense I want to laugh and I don't want you I feel like it during the day and during the night I want to shout, I am a freha.
Panim shelo osot heshbon Ve-jeans be-style shekatuv ba-iton Silsul nitzhi base-arot Veposterim bimkom kirot Rotza le-ehov kmo basratim Hatih sheyavo be-anglit utzva-im "Come on baby" amatos me-hake Ve-od halom sheli mamri lo ubohe	A cool face And a pair of jeans styled as stated in the magazines Permanent waves style in the hair And posters instead of walls I want to love like in the movies A pretty guy who will come in English and in colours "Come on baby" the airplane is waiting And another dream of mine takes off and cries
Ba li lirkod, ba li shtuyot Ba li litzhok velo ba li aleha Ba li bayamim veba li baleylot Ba li litzok ani freha	I want to dance, I want no-sense I want to laugh and I don't want you I feel like it during the day and during the night I want to shout, I am a freha.
Pa-am od ye-iye li zman li-yot gdola Pa-am tigamer amesiba Ki besof kol freha mistater shikun katan Ba-al le dugma ve-elef Kivun-e ashan	One day, when I will have the time to be grown-up One day, the party will be over For at the end of every "Freha" lies a little apartment complex, An exemplar husband and thousand directions of smoke
Ba li lirkod, ba li shtuyot Ba li litzhok velo ba li aleha Ba li bayamim veba li baleylot Ba li litzok ani freha	I want to dance, I want no-sense I want to laugh and I don't want you I feel like it during the day and during the night I want to shout, I am a freha.

Nagnu li be-etzev, akinorot Taku behalil uvahatzotzrot Aku batupim tzu bimholot Aridi, tizmoret, alevavot	Play for me sadly, you the violins Make a big noise in the flute and trumpets Beat the drums, start dancing And you, the orchestra, make the hearts tremble
