Purple Eyes
(Esther & Abi Ofarim, Up
to date, 1968)
(Hebrew version is Kacha At Ratzit Oti by
Zilber/Tamuz)
Na na na na...
Purple eyes is all I've got,
late night tv, smoked a lot,
it's time to talk, in case you'd come,
now I feel like a broken drum.
But you said we had a date,
now you ask me "Am I late?" "Yeah, you're late!"
How could
I ever think I loved you?
Mist and fog is all I see,
eating popcorn, drinking tea,
ate the chocolate, that I bought,
now I'm just a making clot (?),
think I'd let you walk right in.
First you'll have to tell me where, where the hell have you been now?
Na na na...
Go and get the first girl!
You don't love me (you don't love
me),
that is why (that is why)
purple eyes is all I've got,
late night tv, smoked a lot,
spent the night
just gettin' fat,
purple eyes is all I've got,
have to sleep in an empty bed.
Now you ask me "Are you mad, are you mad?" No!
I'm just sad I ever met you
nananana..
thanx to Alan
McDonald and Meir Cohen!
