Noa - Oh, My God! lyrics

Lyrics: Leah Goldberg

Music: Achinoam Nini

Transliteration:

Et eloah raiti bekafeh.

Hu nitgalah li be'ashan sigariyot.

Neche ruach, mistaleach verafeh

Ramaz li: "od efshar lichyot!"

Hu lo hayah yafeh ke'ahuvi:

Karov mimenu - ve'umlal,

Ketsel shakuf shel or hakochavim

Hu lo mile et hechalal.

Leor shkiah chiver ve'adamdam,

Kemitvadeh al chet lifney moto,

Yarad lematah lenashek ragley adam

Ulevakesh et slichato.

Translation:

I ran into God in a small cafe

Through cigarette smoke he appeared to me

Apologetic and blaze

He said: life is still worth living (you'll see)

He didn't look anything like my lover

Dejected, slightly out of place

Like shadows of constellation

He could hardly fill up space

But in the reddish twilight, hurried

To confess before the fall

Kiss the feet of all man-kind

And beg forgiveness of us all
