Yael Naïm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
חלמתי שאתה איתי
אז אין לי מה למהר
אם אתה איתי ולא אחר
בחלום שלי מהר
חבק אותי לפני שאתעורר
חשבתי שאתה איתי
אז אין לי מה למהר
אם אתה איתי ולא אחר
בחלום שלי מהר
נשק אותי לפני שאתעורר
אז אין לי מה למהר
אין לי מה למהר
אין לי מה למהר
אין לי מה למהר
(מה שרציתי, שלא יגמר, לא למהר
(מה שרציתי ,שלא יגמר
אין לי מה למהר
The lyrics in Yael Naïm's song, Yashanti, describe a dream where the singer is sleeping alone and dreaming that her lover is with her. She urges her lover to hug and kiss her before she wakes up, indicating that the dream may represent a desire for intimacy and affection that she currently lacks in waking life. The repetition of the phrase "אין לי מה למהר" (I have nothing to hurry for) suggests that she is in no rush to leave this dream-like state and longs to stay in this moment with her lover.
The second verse reveals that the singer has been loving and thinking of her lover on her own, presuming that they are with her, but unsure of their presence. The lyric "אם אתה איתי ולא אחר" (if you are with me and not elsewhere) suggests that she feels uncertain about their relationship and whether or not they are truly present with her. The repetition of the phrase "אין לי מה למהר" highlights her desire to stay in this dream-like state with her lover and not feel the anxiety of their uncertain relationship.
Overall, the song expresses a longing for love and a sense of security in a relationship. The dream-like state represents a temporary escape from reality and a longing for a deeper emotional connection.
