hayom shavti el hacheder
Today I came back to the room
letatzpet al hatikra
to observe the ceiling
eych hi benigud eleynu
how it, unlike us,
od notra ketzat neki
remains still a little clean
ki ratziti ketzat lishkocha
because I wanted to forget a little
velizrok et ze rachok
and throw it all far away
beod nisayon koshel
in yet another failed attempt
shel lahafoch mar lematok
to turn the bitter sweet
od echad hafach pikecha
Another one grew wise
az hu maadif lishtok
so he prefers to be silent
beyn kol hapikechim haelu
among all these wise ones
kol kach ba li kevar litzok
I feel such a need to shout
erev shuv yored
Evening descends again
tzonecha lorchov
plunges to the street
beyn alfey poshtey yadayim
among thousands of outstretched hands
neshamot avudot
lost souls
keshehaerev shuv yored
when the evening descends again
nofel el habor
falls into the pit
gam ani achshav poshet yaday
I too now stretch out my hands
mevakesh lachazor
asking to return
keshehachoshech mishtalet alay
when the darkness takes over me
ani ratz el haor
I run toward the light
hayom shavti el hacheder
Today I came back to the room
matate et haritzpa
mopping the floor
vehitchalti lishpoch mayim
and began to pour water
mekartzef et haneshama
scrubbing the soul
vesagarti et hadelet
and I closed the door
mamtin lishat haneila
waiting for the sealing hour
beyneynu rak hael yodea
between us only God knows
ma yechatem li besofah
what will be decreed for me in the end
od echad hafach pikecha
Another one grew wise
az hu maadif lishtok
so he prefers to be silent
beyn kol hapikechim haelu
among all these wise ones
kol kach ba li kevar litzok
I feel such a need to shout
erev shuv yored
Evening descends again
tzonecha lorchov
