Lyrics and translation Shlomo Artzi - עוף גוזל

עוף גוזל

Hagozalim sheli azvu et haken
Parsu knafayim ve'afu
Va'ani tzipor zkena nisharti baken
Mekave me'od shehakol yihe beseder
Tamid yadati sheyavo hayom
Shebo tzarich lehipared
Aval achsahv ze ba li kacha pit'om
Az ma hapele she'ani ktzat do'eg
Uf gozal chatoch et hashamyim
Tus le'an sheba lecha
Rak al tishkach yesh nesher bashamyim
Gur lecha
Achshav nisharnu levadenu baken
Aval anachnu beyachad
Chabki oti chazak tagidi li ken
Al tid'agi beyachad kef lehizdaken
Uf gozal chatoch et hashamyim
Tus le'an sheba lecha
Rak al tishkach yesh nesher bashamyim
Gur lecha
Ani yode'a shekacha ze bateva
Vegam ani azavti ken
Aval achshav ksheba harega az
Machnik ktzat bagron
Uf gozal chatoch et hashamyim
Tus le'an sheba lecha
Rak al tishkach yesh nesher bashamyim
Gur lecha

Baby Bird

My baby birds have left the nest
Spread their wings and flown away
And I, an old bird, watch them go
Hoping and praying that everything will be alright
I always knew this day would come
When it would be time for them to leave
But now that it's here, it's so sudden
What's a little bird like me to do?
Oh, baby bird, you've reached for the sky
Fly as far as you can see
Just don't forget there's an eagle in the sky
Watching over you
Now we're all alone in the nest
But we're together
Hold me close, tell me it's going to be okay
Together we'll figure out how to grow
Oh, baby bird, you've reached for the sky
Fly as far as you can see
Just don't forget there's an eagle in the sky
Watching over you
I know this is hard for you
And I was the same way once
But when the storm comes
Lean on me a little
Oh, baby bird, you've reached for the sky
Fly as far as you can see
Just don't forget there's an eagle in the sky
Watching over you
