In your eyes

Ayelet chen, ayelet chen,
charming gazelle
Be Galut Tismacheni
you will support me in my exile
U Ba Layla, U Ba Layla
and in the night, and in the night
Betoch Cheyka Meloni
I will find shelter in your warmth

in your eyes
I see something distant
waiting for

in your eyes
I see something constant
longing for

the smallest hands
I've ever seen
but hard as steel
the straightest back
that's ever been
deep inside you're shivering

and I feel you
every time I look in the mirror
I feel you
don't hide your tears away from me
I feel you
every time I look in the mirror
I feel you

Ayelet Chen…

in my ear you would always whisper
soothing words
I could hear in your voice beauty
different worlds

too proud to ever bend
forest hills napoleon
the village girl turned city cat
desert in your velvet hat
strength of will turning wheels
handkerchief and faded heels
silver hair, cheeks of rouge
a heart that's huge

and I feel you
every time I look in the mirror
I feel you
don't hide your tears away from me
I feel you
every time I look in the mirror
I feel you

Ayelet Chen…
(every time I look in the mirror and see your eyes)
