Time, time, don't let me down,
You're the man in my playground.
What you say, I will obey
Night and day.

Feel free to turn me on,
Feel free to change my song,
I will start and you'll go on
Sing my song.

I say...
Chorus:
Zman-man
Ten li rak siman-man
Ten li et hazman
Lama lokhets alay
Tishan

You don't know what you talk about

Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan

Time, time, don't you be mine,
I will feed his 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,
Minds your sweep.

I say...

Chorus

You don't know what you talk about

Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan.

You don't know what you talk about
