Lyrics

• Hebrew/English
• Translation

Time, time, don’t let me down
You’re the man in my play ground
What you say I will obey night and day

Feel free to turn me on
Feel free to change my song
I will count and you will go on sing my song

I say
Zman-man, ten li rak siman man, ten li et hazman
Lama lokhets alay? Tishan

You got to give me more time
Zman-man, lama lo tishan-shan? Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihyot shakhor lavan?

Time, time, could you be mine?
I will feed you songs and wine
I’ll make you lazy, I’ll make you late
Wait, wait, wait

Wait, wait, we two are one
But you always take the lead
I lay down and you just run
Mind your speed

I say
Zman-man, ten li rak siman man, ten li et hazman
Lama lokhets alay? Tishan

You got to give me more time
Zman-man, lama lo tishan-shan? Tagid li kama zman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme time
Lama lihyot shakhor lavan?
You don’t know what we talk about

Zman-man, ten li rak siman man, ten li et hazman
Lama lihyot shakhor lavan?

Time, time, don’t let me down

Time, time, don’t let me down
You’re the man in my play ground
What you say I will obey night and day

Feel free to turn me on
Feel free to change my song
I will count and you will go on sing my song

I say
Time, time, just give me a sign, sign, give me the time
Why are you pressuring me? Go to sleep

You got to give me more time
Time, time, why won’t you sleep, sleep? Tell me how much time
Why should we be black and white?

Time, time, could you be mine?
I will feed you songs and wine
I’ll make you lazy, I’ll make you late
Wait, wait, wait

Wait, wait, we two are one
But you always take the lead
I lay down and you just run
Mind your speed

I say
Time, time, just give me a sign, sign, give me the time
Why are you pressuring me? Go to sleep

You got to give me more time
Time, time, why won’t you sleep, sleep? Tell me how much time
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme time
Why should we be black and white?
You don’t know what we talk about

Time, time, just give me a sign, sign, give me the time
Why should we be black and white?

Time, time, don’t let me down
