English Translation
Words
The sadness is here again, the fear is here again
and the end is at my window.
Broken glass and silence again
exhausted and forsaken in my mind.
The light fell asleep, tears of blood are burning my throat
scratched handle, fallen ceiling
While I’m singing the last song to you.
You’ve left me nothing but words, shelter in the shadows
tidy books and in between the rooms
you’ve left me nothing but words, a wreath of locks
Oh God, you’ve left me nothing but words
The walls are silent now and what did you take when you ran away
Yes, what did you take? You might have won this war
What am I left with when you are gone?
You’ve left me nothing but words, shelter in the shadows
tidy books and in between the rooms
you’ve left me nothing but words, a bouquet of locks
God, you’ve only words behind
Even the ice feels cold when I remember
How today you stand before him, a light in his shadow
Breaking for him the words you’ve left
you are now telling him
You’ve left me nothing but words, shelter in the shadows
tidy books and in between the rooms
you’ve left me nothing but words, a wreath of locks
Oh God, you’ve left me nothing but words
English Version
You Left Me Only Words
I can feel again
how it all began
But this is the end
I feel tonight
I closed my eyes
A silent cry
to see you in the dim
The dim of light
With my fears
These bloody tears
are burning me inside
But I will sing you one more song
At least, I know that I have tried.
You left me only words,
and in these words I hide
A story that is heard
without you by my side
You left me only words
till they fade away
How I pray to have those words today
This empty room
The feel of gloom
Just take it all-
It’s all for you
Our battle ends
at break of dawn
But what is left for me
when you are gone?
You left me only words,
and in these words I hide
A story that is heard
without you by my side
You left me only words
till they fade away
How I pray to have those words today
You left me only words
and in these words I hide
Empty room of stories
without you by my side
You left me only words
till they fade away
How I pray to have those words today
And I get cold as ice
when I’m reminded
of where you are tonight
Gleaming in his light
I need you even though
all those words that you left me
are now for him to know
You left me only words,
and in these words I hide
A story that is heard
without you by my side
You left me only words
till they fade away
How I pray to have those words today
You left me only words
till they fade away
How I pray
to have those words today

Very nice! And the singer is very handsome! 🙂 Good luck Israel! Big kisses from Greece!
Some people think his song is boring, but I see an excellent ballad.Harel is a singer full of talent and if you deny it, you need a checkup of your ears.In my opinion he must win ESC2010. He is already the moral winner for me. Viva Harel!:)

What a great song !!!
I´m from Spain. I think it´s a pity that only a few countries sends their songs written in their own languages. I´ve enjoyed the lyrics in hebrew, even only recognising the word Elohim (God). And the musicality is very, very emotional. Meaningfull, once translated.
This guy worths to win the contest.

Well I was already sure this Song and Singer were sooo great, but now I read the lyrics, I am even more touched… 12 Points from the Netherlands…Mazzle Tov, Israel..!!
I love this song. The singer sings it with such emotion and he is so carismatic. I believe this will be the winner this year, and I hope so! Good luck Israel from Finland!
i like it best. 1.Azerbaijan 2.Israel. long live Azerbaijan and Israel
very very good. 1.Azerbaijan 2.Israel
the worst song I’ve heard in life..I hope you will not win..
This is a great version but the Spanish version is really incredible.
The best voice in all the world.Good luck Israel
When I heard it the first time I didn’t like it but now I can’t get it out of my head…. One of the best songs this year!
Hvala maldek jos jednom! Pregrst rebusa zvuci odlicno, meni samo nije jasno sta je u startu to sto se krije iza “wreath of locks” jer tako nesto mislim da ne postoji u engleskom 😳
lepa rec i gvozdena vrata otvara, ali dozvoli pesnicku slobodu…
na kraju, ponekad su reci i ako izgovorene, zakljucavaju (katancima), nase “pograsne zelje”!
A kako bi ste vi preveli ovo?
i opet kazem meni je ovo otkljucavanje “loseg teksta” lepe izraelske pesme, omogucila prijateljica iz Tel Aviva!!!
wreath of locks? pregršt rebusa?
HAREL SKAAT-Reči
Ponovo je zalost tu, ponovo strah ustaje
A kraj se okitio na mom prozoru
Napuklo staklo i opet tisina
Iscrpljena i bacena u mojoj masti
Svetlo je utihnulo suze krvave peku grlo mi
„Udaram u stub dok plafon ruši se“
dok pevam ti poslednju pesmu.
Ostavila si mi samo reči – utočište zvucima,
Poslagane knjige – i medju sobama
Ostavila si mi samo reči – pregršt rebusa,
O Bože, samo tvoja reč je ostala.
U sobi tiho je, odlazeći, šta si ponela?
Da, šta si ponela? U ovom ratu si mozda pobedila
I sa čim sam ostao kada si otišla?
Ostavila si mi samo reči – utočište zvucima,
Poslagane knjige – i medju sobama,
Ostavila si mi samo reči – pregršt rebusa,
O Bože, samo tvoja reč je ostala.
Hladna kao led, kad samo setim se,
Naspram leda si, osvetljena njegovom senom,
Slomljena zbog njega, reči si mi ostavila i sad
Ti mi kazes ne…
Ostavila si mi samo reči – utočište zvucima,
Poslagane knjige – i medju sobama,
Ostavila si mi samo reči – pregršt rebusa,
O Bože, ostavila si mi samo reči.
Poslagane knjige – i medju sobama,
Ostavila si mi samo reči – pregršt rebusa,
O Bože, ostavila si mi samo reči.
Hm… I will probably combine the two or something..
I don’t really get what the bouquet (wreath) of locks should be?
COMPLITE TEXT
Harel Skaat – Words
The sadness is here again, the fear is here again
And the end embroidered in my window
Cracked glass panel and silence again
Weary and discarded in my imagination
The light fell asleep, tears of blood scorch my throat
Scratched handle, sloping ceiling
When I sing to you the last song
You left me only words, shelter between the shadows
Tidy books, and between the rooms
You left me only words, wreath of locks
Oh God, you left me only words
Walls are silent now, and what have you taken when you run away?
Yes, what have you taken? In this war you might have won
And what I was left with when you went away?
You left me only words, shelter between the shadows
Tidy books, and between the rooms
You left me only words, wreath of locks
Oh God, you left me only words
And even the ice feels cold, when I remember
How today you’re in front of him, lighted in his shade
Breaks down for him, the words you told me
You’re now telling him
You left me only words, shelter between the shadows
Tidy books, and between the rooms
You left me only words, wreath of locks
Oh God, you left me only words
Tidy books, and between the rooms
You left me only words, wreath of locks
Oh God, you left me only words
I think second translation is nice!

Harel Skaat – Words
once again the sadness is here
again the fear has risen
and the end is at my window.
Cracked glass, silence again
exhausted and cast aside
in my mind.
The light fell asleep, tears of blood
burning through my throat
scratched handle, fallen ceiling
while singing to you the last song.
You’ve left me only words
refuge in the shadows
organized books
and in between the rooms
you’ve left me only words
a bouquet of locks
God
you’ve left me only words
the walls are silent now
and what did you take
when you ran away
yes, what did you take
you might have won this war
what is left when you are gone?
You’ve left me only words
refuge between the shadows
organized books
and in between the rooms
you’ve left me only words
a bouquet of locks God
you’ve left me only words
even the ice is cold
when I remember
how you stand today before him
light in his shadow
Breaking for him
the words you’ve left me
You now tell him
