tamid ani mechake lemashehu sheyikre
I'm always waiting for something to happen
uma bediuk yikre kesheze yikre
And exactly what will happen when it happens
haim pitom kechochav hashav umitchadesh
Will it be like a star returning and renewing itself
o shema, o shema etyaesh
Or perhaps, or perhaps I'll despair
vehaonesh shebetzipi hu shenigzar
And the punishment in waiting is what is decreed
al beney haadam haloch vashov hem bagesher hatzar
Upon human beings going back and forth on the narrow bridge
velama shelo efchad male litzpot
And why should I not fear to stop expecting
harey ze, harey ze hakocha hamenia lichyot
After all, this, after all this is the driving force to live
ulhitgalgel, ulhitgalgel, ulhitgalgel, ulhitgalgel el ever kelum
And to roll, and to roll, and to roll, and to roll toward nothing
az tispor et hayamim beminhag mezoham
So count the days in a tainted ritual
ad larega shebo kevar lo mamash tihye kayam
Until the moment when you'll barely exist at all
vehasefira leachor lo ozva otcha af hi
And the countdown never left you either
im ki, im ki nisat ach lelo hoil
Although, although you tried but to no avail
veheavar omer ata kevar lo mi shehayita
And the past says you're no longer who you were
veheatid moshech ata gam lo mi shetihye
And the future pulls — you're not yet who you'll be
vehahove boche kemo yaldon sherotze el ima
And the present weeps like a little child who wants his mother
shetigal oto, shetigal mikol hechara haze
To redeem him, to redeem him from all this mess
ulhitgalgel...
And to roll...
bederech matzok al ofanoa beli kasda
On a cliff road on a motorcycle without a helmet
kedey lechaded meat et chut hamachshava
To sharpen a little the thread of thought
o im tarmil shenosea itecha lehodu hamesumemet
Or with a backpack traveling with you to a stoned India
kach ulay, kach ulay timtza et atzmecha
Perhaps that way, perhaps that way you'll find yourself
veim atzmi nimtza behodu eyfo hayiti
And if my self is in India where was I
esrim ushtayim shana sheani chay biladay
Twenty-two years I've been living without myself
kanire shelelo kavana bakiuun ketzat taiti
Apparently I accidentally veered slightly off course
veachshav kulam, veachshav lehodu acharay
And now everyone, now everyone is following me to India
ulhitgalgel...
And to roll...
