All night we discovered
כל הלילה גילינו
Secrets of the body
סודות של הגוף
Chorus:
Give me a hand, Give me a Place (x2)
תני לי יד תני לי מקום

אצלך בעולם
Give me a hand, Give me a Place (x2)
תני לי יד תני לי מקום
In your world

נוגעים עוד ועוד

זה אני מנגן לך
Playing for you a tune
מנגן לך ניגון

you to a walk
אותך לטיול
Chorus:
