Madness on Stage

haderech aruka umitpatelet
The road is long and winding
min hasetam hu nizkar bahofaa
He probably recalls the concert
hashamayim kodrim achshav
The skies are overcast now
motzi bakbuk, lokecha legima
He pulls out a bottle, takes a sip
haulam haya male mipo lesham
The hall was packed from wall to wall
holchu makot, ken, haya sham cham
Fists flew, yes, it was hot in there
vechacha ze behofaot yesh mehuma
That's how it is at shows, there's always a commotion
sham baavir sholet teruf haahava
In the air love's madness reigns
ki hu shar: "teni li et yadech
Because he sang: "Give me your hand
ana'la rotza yoter ahava nichzevet
I don't want a love that lets me down anymore
lo rotza yoter lev shavur
Don't want another broken heart
lo rotze beod tikva koevet"
Don't want another hope that only hurts"
meachor, yashan poel bama
In the back, a stage hand dozes off
hitayef, ken, hoyta lo avoda
He's tired, yes, he had a long shift
mikadima hanahag ochez bahege
Up front the driver grips the wheel
hu lo doeg ki ishto oto ohevet
He doesn't worry, because his wife loves him
achberosh gadol chotze ta'chvish
A big rat crosses the road
achberosh gadol ata beesek beyesh
Big rat, you're in a bad spot
haradyo menagen shirim el toch halayla
The radio plays songs into the night
kolo bokea shuv ani omer yihye keday
His voice breaks through again, I say it'll be worth it
ki hu shar: "teni li et yadech
Because he sang: "Give me your hand
ana'la rotza yoter ahava nichzevet
I don't want a love that lets me down anymore
lo rotza yoter lev shavur
Don't want another broken heart
lo rotze beod tikva koevet"
Don't want another hope that only hurts"
hu shar: "teni li et yadech
He sang: "Give me your hand
ana'la rotza yoter ahava nichzevet
I don't want a love that lets me down anymore
lo rotza yoter lev shavur
Don't want another broken heart
lo rotze beod tikva koevet"
Don't want another hope that only hurts"

He pulls out a bottle, takes a sip

And he sang: "Give me your hand
ana'la rotza yoter ahava nichzevet
I don't want a love that lets me down anymore
lo rotza yoter lev shavur
Don't want another broken heart
lo rotze beod tikva koevet"
