Lichtov Lach
Yossi Shitrit Lyrics

In "Lichtov Lach" (To Write You A Smile), Yossi Shitrit expresses his desire to write a few words to someone he cares about, to let them know that he appreciates them and hopes for a brighter future. Despite being surrounded by people, he feels the need to tell that person how he feels, as being alone doesn't mean being lonely. He reminisces about times spent together, the sight of their figure appearing in every corner of his memories.

As he seeks a new place to change the atmosphere, he drinks wine and remembers how things used to be when they were together. He addresses the routine that exists in their shared home, where everything they had built on is still engraved in his soul. The repeated verse about memories of having their hands clasped together emphasizes the feeling of being lonely when one is away from their loved ones.

The song's chorus captures Shitrit's regret and disbelief towards the fact that the person he's referring to is no longer with him. He didn't imagine that they would leave, and their absence persists in haunting him. The song conveys the message that even when one is surrounded by people, they may still feel alone if the person they desire is absent. "Lichtov Lach" is a heartfelt expression of love, longing, and the power of memories.
