Lyrics לתת - Ofra Haza

לתת

Latet et hanshama v’et halev,
Latet,
Latet k’she’ata ohev.
V’eich motz’im et hahevdel
Sheben lakachat u’l’kabel,
Od tilmad latet, latet…
L’galot sodot b’seter,
L’hatir et s’vach hakesher
K’shehalev b’cha nitzbat
Mikol chiyuch, mikol mabat
Ata nizhar, ata yodei’a
V’chutz mimcha ish lo shomei’a
Posei’a ben hadakuyot
Ume’malei sha’ot p’nuyot.
Chorus:
Latet et hanshama v’et halev
Latet k’she’ata ohev
Od tilmad latet, latet
Ata lomed im hashanim
Livnot b’yachad binyanim,
Lichyot im kol hashinuyim.
Lirkom ita sipur chayim
V’la’avor yamim kashim
Bimtzukot v’rigushim
Tamid lada’at l’vater
v’et hata’am l’shamer.
Chorus:
Lir’ot b’toch han’fila
She’yesh makom l’m’chila
Tamid efshar shuv l’hatchil,
Kmo yom chadash, kmo karagil — latet
Od tilmad latet, latet
TO GIVE (Giving)
To give the soul and the heart,
To give,
To give when you love.
And however one finds the difference
Between taking and receiving
You will yet learn to give, to give…
To discover secrets
To release the tangle of connection
When your heart is pinched
By every smile, every look
You are careful, you know,
And aside from you, no one hears
Walking a fine line, trying not to offend
And filling the free time
Chorus:
To give the soul and the heart
To give when you love
You will yet learn to give, to give
You learn with the years
To build buildings together
To live with all the changes.
To weave, with her, a life=s story
And to get through difficult days
In distress and troubled times
To always know how to give in,
and to keep the love alive
Chorus:
To see in the midst of the fall,
That there is room for forgiveness
It=s always possible to start again
Like a new day, like the usual — to give
You will yet learn to give, to give
