lo chayim lanetzach ki,
We don't live forever because,
hanetzach lo kayam tedi
Eternity doesn't exist you should know
livney adam yesh metzukot,
Human beings have distress,
vehen kol kach gedolot
And it's so immense
mi yasim otach etzli,
Who will place you beside me,
mi yasim oti etzlecha?
Who will place me beside you?
mi yashke otanu,
Who will water us,
bizman hatzimaon
In times of thirst
balayla techapesi kochav
At night search for a star
im ze oved lo tehi levad
If it works you won't be alone
al tishtani el titchanefi leaf echad beyom
Don't change yourself don't grovel to anyone by day
kanesi eley letoch hadam zot ahava
Enter my blood this is love
veze lo mushlam
And it's not perfect
takshivi li ani tzoek po, eyze tzimaon
Listen to me I'm screaming here, what a thirst
kevar yomayim metim mechom veshigaon
Already two days dying from heat and madness
mey arev shehakeev yachalof (kevar yomayim)
Who guarantees the pain will pass (already two days)
kevar yomayim ani met mechom, eyn pitron
Already two days I'm dying from heat, there's no solution
mi arev shehazeev yachtof?
Who guarantees the wolf won't snatch?
shuv shovrim et hashigra,
Again they break the routine,
beeretz meleat tigra
In a land full of strife
omrim rau otanu,
They say look at us,
mechapesim beor neon
Searching in neon light
et hasefina asher ovda,
For the ship that was lost,
et haafsut hametuka
For the sweet nothingness
et haneshika shehitraseka lah,
For the kiss that crashed,
eyze tzimaon
What a thirst
kevar yomayim metim mechom veshigaon
Already two days dying from heat and madness
mey arev shehakeev yachalof (kevar yomayim)
Who guarantees the pain will pass (already two days)
kevar yomayim ani met mechom, eyn pitron
Already two days I'm dying from heat, there's no solution
mi arev shehazeev yachtof?
Who guarantees the wolf won't snatch?
lo chayim lanetzach ki
We don't live forever because
hanetzach lo kayam tedi
Eternity doesn't exist you should know
haetz nofel, hashir kamal,
The tree falls, the song withers,
nishar rak zikaron
Only a memory remains
opetimiut yesh rak bamizrach
Optimism exists only in the East
bamaarav eyn kol chadash
In the West nothing is new
rak mi yashke otanu, bizman hatzimaon
Only who will water us, in times of thirst
kevar yomayim metim mechom veshigaon
Already two days dying from heat and madness
mey arev shehakeev yachalof (kevar yomayim)
Who guarantees the pain will pass (already two days)
kevar yomayim metim mechom, eyn pitron
Already two days dying from heat, there's no solution
mi arev shehazeev yachtof?
Who guarantees the wolf won't snatch?
