This song is like a dream you remember bits of when you wake up, but then it all evaporates and you're left grasping at hazy tendrils. At its foundation are distant Velvet Underground chords, topped with slow surf guitar tones and bathroom vocals. A floating cloud of dust motes in a room of nothing on a late autumn afternoon as the light starts to fade outside. A leaf all alone going down a slow stream. Something there and then gone.
Charlie Megira was an Israeli musician and he sang in Hebrew. He died (hanged himself) in 2016 at the age of 44. There is a documentary about him that I hope to watch at some point.
[בית 1]
אל תגידי אולי
לא לא, ולא כדאי
אל תגידי אולי
אולי היום, אולי מחר
מחר כבר לא בא
[פזמון]
?אמרי מהר, מה את אוהבת
אמרי ללב, אבל מהר
?אמרי מהר, מה את אוהבת
אמרי נא לי, מי הוא זה
?שאותו את אוהבת
[אאוטרו]
?מה את אוהבת
?מה את אוהבת
?מה את אוהבת
?מה את אוהבת
Don't say maybe
No, no, you shouldn't
Don't say maybe
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow
Tomorrow's gone
Tell me quickly
What do you love?
Tell me to the heart
But quickly
Tell me quickly
What do you love?
Tell me
Who is that?
What do you love?
What do you love?
