Min Nhar Li Mshiti (From the Day You Left) - The Idan Raichel Project, Shimon Buskila

Hey mama, why did you leave?

You are the soul and life of me

My tears flow in you, mama

You taught me and suffered for me

You are your own shadow, the light of my eyes

Sweet mother

Beloved mother

Only you, light of my eyes

How much you toiled and thought of me

I miss your shadow, the light of my eyes

Hey mama, light of my eyes

You left, and left me

Hey, mama

How did you leave me without

And I will die of worries day and night

It is me that you cried about

My entire life I will not forget you, my beloved

Where are you mother?

Where were you my beloved?

I am an orphan from the day you left

The enemies cheated me

Only God will comfort me
