A brief history of the Hebrew language
The aleph-bet - Note the vowels - these are not used in everyday writing, but were devised to help foreigners learn to read Hebrew. Five of these letters (kaf, mem, nun, pe, and tsadi) have different forms if they fall at the end of a word.

Background
Haim Moshe was one of the first mizrachi musicians to go "mainstream." Mizrachi music has a middle eastern sound and is sometimes referred to as "Jewish Oriental." I had to do the Hebrew (on the right) by myself, and have no business doing so. I'm sure there's plenty of mistakes, but it'll do for here...

Lyrics

At kvar lo iti, ra li banshama En siman va'ot veruchot ra'ot Lo notnot mano'ach At kvar lo iti ufit'om dmama Vega'agu'im kmo tzlilim kehim Kol hazman ba'im Chorus: Uvachalomi at od merachefet Mechake lenes ve'od lo tofes Ha'emet tzorevet At kvar lo iti uvalev shmama Haprachim bagan kvar navlu mizman Ko kuli shalechet At kvar lo iti vedima chama Hagoral hamar hake'ev hazar Ze ma shenotar Uvachalomi... At kvar lo iti en li nechama Et libi lakacht kacha veshachacht Kacha vehalacht At kvar lo iti.....

You are no longer with me, and I feel bad There is no sign or signal And evil winds don't let me rest You are no longer with me And suddenly there is silence And longings, like dark shadows, Come all the time. Chorus: In my dream you are still floating I wait for a miracle and still don't get it The truth hurts You are no longer with me And my heart is like desert The flowers in the garden died a long time ago All my body feels like I am in the fall You are no longer with me And a warm tear, the bitter fate, the strange pain That is all that is left You are no longer with me Nothing can comfort me You took my heart just like that and you forgot me You went away
