uvtevat hadoar hatzafa
And in the overflowing mailbox
hamichtavim golshim el haritzpa
The letters slide to the floor
ani eten kefitza kedey lo lelachlech.
I'll take a leap so as not to get dirty
veelech.
And I'll go
hashemesh chimema uktzat nitach
The sun was warm and things melted a little
veshuv tzarich lachazor el hamusach
And again I need to go back to the garage
gam hakafe nishpach,
Also the coffee spilled
achshav davik,
Now it's sticky
hachatzait hazot ketzara veze metzik.
That skirt is too short and it's bothersome
shimon hashachen niftar lifney shelosha yamim
Shimon the neighbor passed away three days ago
mamash bapetach shel habayit cholim
Right at the entrance of the hospital
gam samu shelet al hadelet.
His name was also on the door
kevar chamesh shanim ,omer shalom kaze mahir,
Already five years, a greeting so quick
pachadti mimech beli lehakir otach kimat
I was afraid of you without knowing you almost
muzar, yesh choshech bedira mispar achat.
Strange, there's darkness in apartment number one
sheyitchalef kevar haramzor meedom
If only the traffic light would change from red
kimat sarafti kacha et kol hayom
I almost burned up the whole day this way
gam atzvut pitom nachata velo rotza laazov
Sadness too has suddenly landed and doesn't want to leave
lo, ze lo tov
No, that's not good
eych lo hisharnu tze'k bachatuna
How we didn't leave a check at the wedding
shuv mitkasheret aval hi lo zemina
Trying to call again but she's not available
hi betach yeshena leyado bamita,
She's probably asleep next to him in bed
magia lah oto velo magia
She deserves him and he deserves
otah.
Her.

omrim shehu haya lo mamash beseder
They say he wasn't quite right
lakach terufot kedey latzet mehacheder
He took medication to leave the room
merov hapachad lo diber yoter miday
Out of so much fear he didn't speak much
hoyta lo yedida achat
He had one friend
ulay
