מחכה
Idan Rafael Haviv Lyrics

מי עולה ראשונה
Who rises first, indicating that someone is always ahead of the other in this relationship

זו אהבה הישנה
It's an old love, something that has lasted for a long time

עד מתי שאתעורר
How much longer until I wake up and realize what's going on in this relationship?

פה שוכבת לידך
Laying beside you, wondering whether this relationship is worth the effort

תנסה להירגע
Trying to calm down and gain some perspective on the situation

מי כמוני כך איתך
Who else is like me, wanting to make this work with you?

אותו חלום משפט מוכר
The same dream, a familiar scenario that keeps repeating itself in this relationship

לא עוזב אותי במנוחה
It never leaves me at peace, always causing me to worry and think about it

אני כאן איתך תמיד מחכה
I'm here with you, waiting and hoping that things will get better

שדה קוצים או שדה כותנה
Whether it's a field of thorns or a field of cotton, it doesn't matter - I'm here for you through thick and thin

אני שוב אני
I am once again dealing with the same situation and emotions

אני רק אני
I am just me, trying to make it work with you despite the difficulties

עומדת יחפה על אדמה חמה
Standing barefoot on warm soil, ready to face the challenges of this relationship

ומוכנה
And prepared for whatever may come

מי עולה בטוחה
Who rises confidently, sure of where this relationship is headed?

איך האור שבי כבה
How can I dim the light that's inside me, even though this relationship may be bringing me down?

ועוד שומרת על שלך
And still taking care of you, putting your needs above my own

מי כמוני כך איתך
Who else is like me, trying to make this work with you despite the difficulties?
