hapanim mikarov matzlema mitracheket
The face up close a camera pulling away
chatzotzra meyutemet toka
An orphaned trumpet sounded
ananim lohatim tafura meduyeket
Burning clouds a precise backdrop
besirtey harakia shekia
In the sky's films a sunset
hapanim acherot habaa meuchzevet
The face is different an expression disappointed
vehaor az yimog veyechdal
And the light then will fade and cease
karusela shel gan yeladim mistovevet
A children's park carousel spinning around
kol susey haetz ratzim bemagal
All the wooden horses run in circles
benadam titametz od meat ketze haderech
Come on man try a little more the end of the road is near
benadam ad sof hamerotz
Come on man to the end of the race
hachida lech itah taase mize seret
The riddle goes with you make a movie of it
al tifchad lo nisharta bachutz
Don't be afraid you haven't been left outside
al tifchad lo nisharta bachutz
Don't be afraid you haven't been left outside
matzlema min hagav bitnua meupeket
A camera from behind in a measured movement
mitkarevet eleycha kaet
Drawing closer to you now
histakel bah yashar kacha tov uvsheket
Look at it straight like that good and quiet
ken sichakt otah beemet
Yes you played it for real
befanim habaa shel keev uvli hege
Inside the expression of pain and without a sound
eyn tenua ach hatzel mitarech
No movement but the shadow lengthens
hatemuna kemo kefua hadima mitpogeget
The picture is as if frozen the tear is fading
veachshav leat leat lechayech
And now slowly slowly to smile
benadam titametz ad haketz ketze haderech
Come on man try until the end the end of the road
eyn sus etz tihye o techdal
No wooden horse be or cease to be
zot haderech shelecha ken nisita acheret
That's your road yes you tried another way
veshamata et tzechok hagoral
And you heard fate's laughter
ken shamata et tzechok hagoral
Yes you heard fate's laughter
