Shir Al Yeled Mefursam

Song About a Famous Boy

by Shlomo Artzi

Copied!
hu lokecha samim hergel hafach leteva
He takes drugs, habit has become nature
meashen chashish mehalech kemo suma
Smoking hashish walking like a blind man
yeled mefursam meshamesh dugma
A famous boy serving as an example
lakach gelula ben mastul shel hauma
Took a pill, the nation's stoned son
hu toen shehu roe et
He claims that he sees
haolam acheret
The world differently
minekudat reut mozeret
From a strange point of view
marot pitom yafim
Scenes suddenly beautiful
hu mitofef gavoha kulam
He flies up high, everyone
mitoffim
Is flying
samim hu lo yodea tamid mevalefim
Drugs, he doesn't always know they deceive
ma hu roe sham?
What does he see there?
ma hu margish?
What does he feel?
kavur bagelulot
Buried in pills
kemo bekurey akavish
As if in cobwebs
lama hu nirdam
Why does he sleep
hu lo nirdam
He is not sleeping
hu setam adish
He is simply indifferent
yeled shel marichuana
A child of marijuana
ushifot chashish
And hashish inhalations
lakach etmol batzahorayim
He took yesterday at noon
beyn haaruchot
Between meals
im musika shel ketzev lehosif
With music of rhythm to add
laavira
To the atmosphere
lakach gelula mastul
He took a pill, stoned
lo taazor lo gam setira
A slap won't help him either
hu lo choshesh haitonim kotvim
He is not afraid, the newspapers write
ze ra ze ra
It's bad, it's bad
or echad adom nichnas lo laeynayim
One red light entered his eyes
metushtash legamrey beor kachol
Completely blurred in blue light
hu kevar lo yachol lachashov
He can no longer think
hu kevar lo yachol
He can no longer
rak sheyitorer baboker
If only he wakes up in the morning
veyishkach hakol
And forgets everything
ma hu roe sham...
What does he see there...
