im yom echad ata tachazor,
If one day you come back,
beyom kipur o chag shavuot,
On Yom Kippur or Shavuot,
ani shomer et hachagor,
I am keeping the belt,
ma shenishar mimecha.
What is left of you.
holchim holchim bemadim umdaberim,
Walking walking in uniforms and talking,
ozva oti borgila harishona,
She left me at the first brigade,
sheney chayalim, echad male shirim,
Two soldiers, one full of songs,
echad chayayv besakana.
One whose life is in danger.
merov yeush,
Out of despair,
et hamishkefet mechaven, mabit meever lanahar.
I aim the binoculars, looking across the river.
vehakol mamshich hakol mamshich
And everything continues everything continues
ata meever lanahar.
You are across the river.
yesh shibushim vehakol mamshich,
There are disruptions and everything continues,
veata meever lanahar.
And you are across the river.
ze makom sheod lo hayiti bo,
This is a place I have never been,
meever lanahar.
Across the river.
male baneshamot genuvot,
Full of stolen souls,
meever lanahar.
Across the river.

You're not knocking, you're not absorbing
ata meever lanahar.
You are across the river.
'te lo yodea ma holech,
You don't know what is going on,
meever lanahar.
Across the river.

You are quiet, you are celebrating,
meever lanahar,
Across the river,
o lo yodea ma kore lanu, ma kore lanu.
Or you don't know what is happening to us, what is happening to us.
o lo lo lo
Oh no no no
nidlak eyze or ata tachazor
Some light will turn on, you will come back
baotobus o baperatit.
By bus or privately.
ulay pitom yinchat masok,
Maybe suddenly a helicopter will land,
beemtza horchov sheli.
In the middle of my street.
bechavana hisharti or beveyt shimush
Intentionally I left a light on in the bathroom
gam hi mechaka beli begadim betoch hatush.
She too is waiting naked in the shower.

At the end of the barrel,
tzorchim shelosha: "hakashar met, haesh korva laguf",
Three cry out: "The connection is dead, the fire is close to the body",
merov yeush et hamishkefet mechaven, mabit meever lanahar.
Out of despair I aim the binoculars, looking across the river.
