Eretz Kasha

Hard Land

by Maor Cohen

Copied!
erev shuv yored
Evening descends again
od yom meabed
Another day is lost
etzbaot gorfot merosh od nachat
Fingers rake another rest from the head
eynayim mitragelot
Eyes growing accustomed
kelum lo megalot mikol hapachad
Revealing nothing from all the fear
hachoshech mitchashmel beorot barzel
The darkness electrifies in iron lights
yesh baor haze gam sug shel sheker
In that light there is also a kind of lie
mitchapes leyom
Disguised as day
nishkach kemo chalom im bo haboker
Forgotten like a dream when morning comes
eretz kasha
Hard land
lo targish hakala
You won't feel relief
im titzchak yachshevu zehu bechi
If you laugh they'll think it's crying
hey titorer
Hey, wake up
chol hayom otcha kover beli etzev
Today the sand buries you without sorrow
matchil hakol mikelum
Everything starts from nothing
mishiamum atzum
From immense boredom
lama beney adam tamid kaele
Why are people always like this
gam kesheeyn avir
Even when there's no air
ratzim bechal mechir
Running at any price
el kav haofek
To the line of the horizon
hashachar hakachol
The blue dawn
otzer pitom hakol
Suddenly stops everything
nidme shehadevarim chozrim achora
It seems the things are going backwards
ach techef hu mavhir
But soon it becomes clear
hamelech habahir shelo chikita
The bright king you waited for
eretz kasha...
Hard land...
