Shir habatlanim

Song of the Idlers

by Habatlanim

Copied!
kol boker ani mitorer beerech sheot haeser
Every morning I wake up around ten o'clock
rotze lirot ta'shmish
Want to see the sun
haterisim ketzat mastirim
The shutters hide it a little
potecha haterisim velo roa hashemesh
I open the shutters and can't see the sun
ki et hashemesh mastirot
Because the sun is hidden
shurot shel binyanim
By rows of buildings
ose li kos kafe umadlik li hasigarya
I make myself a cup of coffee and light my cigarette
yotze el hamirpeset lefatzecha garinim
I go out to the balcony to crack some seeds
hatziporim yordot laatzitzim shel hamirpeset
The birds come down to the balcony flower pots
umfazemot iti et shir habatlanim
And hum with me the song of the idlers
hopa hulah hulah hulah
Hoopa hola hola hola
hopa hopa hulah hulah
Hoopa hoopa hola hola
hopa hulah hulah hop po
Hoopa hola hola hoop pa
hopa hulah hulah hulah
Hoopa hola hola hola
hopa hopa hulah hulah
Hoopa hoopa hola hola
hopa hulah hulah hop po
Hoopa hola hola hoop pa
ani chay li bametziut kol kach nehderet
I live in a reality so wonderful
socha bimarbolet shel yam beli deagot
Swimming in a whirlpool of sea without worries
lo mevin eych efshar lichyot hayom acheret
I don't understand how you can live any other way today
venirdam ayef merov hamachshavot
And I fall asleep tired from all the thoughts
hayarecha kevar ole hena magia layla
The moon is already rising here comes the night
rotze lirot yerach haterisim ketzat mastirim
Want to see the moon the shutters hide it a little
potecha haterisim velo roe yarecha
I open the shutters and can't see the moon
ki et yarecha mastirot shurot shel binyanim
Because the moon is hidden by rows of buildings
bishot hatzahorayim sholecha et hakelev
In the afternoon I send the dog
im sal asuy mikash liknot li mitzrachim
With a basket made of straw to buy me groceries
keshehu chozer ani mechin lishneynu tzahorayim
When he returns I make lunch for both of us
ki hatziporim ochlu et kol hagarinim
Because the birds ate all the seeds
pitom ani shomea tziltzul dofkim badelet
Suddenly I hear a ring someone's knocking at the door
potecha et hadelet nichneset hashechena
I open the door the neighbor walks in
shoelet benimus sheim ze lo yafria
She asks politely if it wouldn't bother
hi tefazem iti et hahopela sheli
She'll hum with me my hoopla song
achar hatzahorayim yotze li im hakelev
After noon I go out with the dog
lishof ketzat avir bapark michutz lair
To breathe some air in the park outside the city
hatziporim afot meusharot el hashamayim
The birds fly happily toward the skies
ani nishkav al hasafsal choshev al hachayim
I lie on the bench thinking about life
hopa hulah hulah hopa
Hoopa hola hola hoopa
