Meanwhile dancing on one track
batachana anonimit kemo "kafe bagdad",
At an anonymous station like "Cafe Baghdad",
"haim eshaer po lanetzach levad",
"Will I stay here alone forever",
choshev li beemtza tzaad,
I think to myself mid-step,
beyntayim boded
Meanwhile lonely
beyntayim roed
Meanwhile trembling
tevateli hakol tenasi lehagia
Cancel everything, try to come
beyntayim omed.
Meanwhile standing.
beyntayim mechaded et chushi kemo gashash,
Meanwhile sharpening my senses like a tracker,
beyntayim ose meditatzya
Meanwhile meditating
beyntayim boded lo kavati pegisha,
Meanwhile alone, I've made no appointment,
im hamavet o tzivilizatzya
With death or civilization
beyntayim lomed
Meanwhile learning
beyntayim kaved
Meanwhile heavy
tevateli hakol tenasi lehagia
Cancel everything, try to come
beyntayim omed.
Meanwhile standing.
kir gadol hivdil beyneynu, g'ungel vechayot
A great wall divided us, jungle and beasts
beli intimiut beyneynu lo yacholti od,
Without intimacy between us I could no longer go on,
misaviv kelum lo kore kan, politika o dat,
Around nothing happens here, politics or religion,
beyntayim tachanat rakevet pas echad.
Meanwhile a train station, one track.

matchil lirkod al pas echad
Beginning to dance on one track
hargasha shekazot mechalchelet
A feeling like this seeps through
ani chay paam achat, ani chay paam achat,
I live just once, I live just once,
asur levazbez zeman baderech.
I must not waste time on the way.
beyntayim kaved

Raising arms dancing.
