Ima by Yael Naim Lyrics
[Yael sings in hebrew]
Ima lo pochedet
(mommy's not afraid)
Ima rak ohevet
(mommy only loves)
Ima, kan biktze hayom
(mommy's here at the edge of the day)
Ima kan nisheret
(mommy's here to stay)
Kmo be chalom
(just like in a dream)
Yofi ve tom
(beauty and innocence)
Ve leolam at shayechet
(and forever you belong)
Boi ktana sheli, boi ninshom
(come here my little one, let us now breathe)
Mitoch tochi at yotzeret
(from within me you're creating (might be 'created'))
[Leyla McCalla sings in Creole]
Manman ap kimbé
(mom bring you)
Manman té rélé
(mom called you)
Bébé pa kriyé
(baby dont' cry)
Manman ap kimbé
(mom bring you)
[Leyla McCalla sings in French]
[Yael e Leyla sing in english]
Once just a seed
Buried inside
Quiet till the world turning
Flower in bloom
Watching the moon
I'll be the snowing and they're ready
