Translated lyrics
There's a woman who's bigger than life She has senses nobody else has There is magic and there are hard days An a stage which is all hers. for the angels Diva is an empire on the stage Diva is hysteria She's all a Love song Diva we shall shout in joy Diva Victoria Afrodita Viva for diva Viva Victoria Cleopatra There are women teras of life They will carry out a prayer with no words For the angels Diva is an empire On the stage diva is hysteria She is all a love song
Notes
I believe "gdola mehachaim" simply means "the best, greatest". "Bigger than life" is a literal translation. "Yesh ksamim" means "miracles happen" or "there are miracles", but not "magic" "She is the queen of the stage" would be a better lyrical translation of what the singer meant by "the stage is all hers". "Teras of life" shold be "tears".
