od lo sogra im atzmah
She hasn't made peace with herself yet
shemutar lah gam lachalom
that she's allowed to dream
uchvar ze hitgashem
and it has already come true
achshav hapachad mehaor
now the fear of the light
ose lah ketzat kashe linshom
makes it a little hard for her to breathe
uvetach gam beze yesh mishehu ashem
and surely someone's to blame for that too

hashamayim shelah tzemeim
her skies are thirsty
lezikukim
for fireworks
harosh ulay mevin shezo taut
the mind perhaps understands it's a mistake
aval bishvil halev
but for the heart
kol yom ze yom haatzmaut
every day is Independence Day
od lo sogra im atzmah
She hasn't made peace with herself yet
bat kama hi hayom
how old is she today
veod meat yumhuldat
and soon it's her birthday
halevad haze tofes lah et kol hamakom
this loneliness fills all her space
vehine yesh gam mishehu badelet
and look, there's also someone at the door

az ulay hi shuv tivrach
So maybe she'll run away again
o sheulay pashut tismoch al hazeman sheyikach
or maybe she'll simply trust the time to take
achrayut
responsibility
veyachalit bishvilah al hakol
and decide everything for her
elohim gadol
God is great
