hu menagen veshar menagen veshar
He plays and sings, plays and sings
lo yanum velo yishan hu ko muchshar
He will not slumber nor will he sleep, he is so talented
halayla rak laleytzanim mutar litzchok bekol
Tonight only jesters are allowed to laugh aloud
ish atzuv ani mevin otcha lamrot hakol
A sad man, I understand you despite everything
nagen od shir chavar od lachan
Play another song, compose another tune
veod kosit viski al pachad
And another glass of whiskey, don't be afraid
halayla hamita tihye boeret
Tonight the bed will be burning
ata im atzmecha itecha beyachad
You with yourself, together with you
itecha beyachad
Together with you
vachavurat adam harbe panim yafot
And a crowd of people, many beautiful faces
nashim bolot otcha chayim venechnakot
Women swallow you alive and choke
vehagevarim leyad habar neenakim
And the men by the bar groan
et mehalech ata al chavalim dakim
As you walk on thin ropes
achar chatzot shaa tova litzchok
After midnight a good hour to laugh
vegam im lo matzchik az tzochakim
And even if it's not funny they laugh
chok haleylot halalu mimeni hu rachok
The law of these nights is far from me
eyn makom bimarot laanashim rakim
There is no room in caves for soft people
laanashim rakim
For soft people
bakevish habayta ani sochet
On the road home I press
et hadavsha
The gas pedal
ummaher livrocha li mikan
And hurry to flee from here
haashmoret hashelishit shelecha
Your third watch
hachi kashe
Is the hardest
ata shuv chash et atzvuto
You feel again the sadness
shel hametzar
Of the straits
veleytzanim halo yadua
And for jesters the unknown
tofrim chiuch kemo benitucha pelasti
Sew a smile like in plastic surgery
lo al tenase lomar li lama umadua
No, don't try to tell me why and wherefore
milim milim ani aleycha chasti
Words words, I have pity on you
aleycha chasti
I have pity on you
nagen od shir chavar od lachan
Play another song, compose another tune
veod kosit viski al pachad
And another glass of whiskey, don't be afraid
halayla hamita tihye boeret
Tonight the bed will be burning
ata im atzmecha itecha beyachad
You with yourself, together with you
itecha beyachad hu menagen veshar
Together with you, he plays and sings
hu menagen veshar
He plays and sings
