uvaleylot hakolot haroashim kevar mitkasim bacheder hagadol
And at night the loud voices are already muffled in the great room
tarud hasheket hapotzea
The wounding silence is troubled
hakirot hachalonot hamatzaim halevanim
The walls, the windows, the white bedsheets
tovim mimeni lesaper et ma sheani yodea
Demand that I tell what I know
uchchal shehem sogrim umitkorvim eley leat
And as they close in and draw near to me slowly
chokrim mevorrim lo mitbayeshim lachasof
Questioning, probing, not ashamed to expose
ani matchil ledaber mispar hakol kimat
I begin to speak, telling almost everything
tzochek veaz boche ani mevin sheze hasof
Laughing and then crying, I understand this is the end
hu kevar kan hu mechake
He is already here, he is waiting
lo mefached ch"ch tahor oti kevar lo tzarich lishol
Not so afraid, so pure, no need to ask me anymore
ani eshbor et hachomot otan baniti beyadi
I will break down the walls that I built with my own hands
hasof kevar kan ani ekach oto eley
The end is already here, I will take it to me
yihye li tov yihye li tov basof ulay
It will be well with me, it will be well with me in the end, maybe
oto meever
That same passage
veze mafchid oti lachashov al metzukot lo mutzdakot
And it frightens me to think about unjustified anguish
shelo ozvu af ledaka shelo notnu lehipared
That didn't leave even for a minute, that wouldn't let me go
omnam harshu li leehov rak ledakot sefurot
They did allow me to love, for only a few moments
veaz chozru eley karov velo notnu lehitkarev
Then came back close and wouldn't let me draw near
bachadarim uvademama ani matzati li miklat
In rooms and in silence I found myself a refuge
kedey livrocha ani lo motze makom acher
To escape — I find no other place
vehem hikshivu lekoli hem hayu li lemiflat
And they listened to my voice, they were my shelter
hayom ani yodea sham lamadti ledaber
Today I know it was there I learned to speak
hu kevar kan hu mechake
He is already here, he is waiting
lo mefached ch"ch tahor oti kevar lo tzarich lishol
Not so afraid, so pure, no need to ask me anymore
ani eshbor et hachomot otan baniti beyadi
I will break down the walls that I built with my own hands
hasof kevar kan ani ekach oto eley
The end is already here, I will take it to me
hu mechake lo mefached ch"ch tahor oti kevar lo tzarich lishol
He is waiting, not so afraid, so pure, no need to ask me anymore
ani eshbor et hachomot otan baniti beyadi
I will break down the walls that I built with my own hands
hasof kevar kan ani ekach oto eley
The end is already here, I will take it to me
yihye li tov yihye li tov basof ulay
It will be well with me, it will be well with me in the end, maybe
hasof kevar kan ani ekach oto eley
The end is already here, I will take it to me
