במטוס סילון [B'Matos Silon] [English translation]

In a jet plane

to the United States

only with a stewardess and a cloud.

two minutes to land

two minutes to take off

and between these two there is some time.

So i suddenly turn

to the stewardess, and say to her

"i have one question to pass by you

if it's possible to live below

as if it's above?"

surely she is a bird that lives in the air

Her two eyes, smiling

"it's an issue of your point of view,

if we live more properly

then it doesn't matter where!"

In a jet plane

in a casual conversation

only with a stewardess and a cloud

two minutes to land

two minutes to take off

in between sleep is scattered

And falling asleep simply in preparation for

the landing below

thinking a bit about her words

"if it's correct

that it's possible to live above

as if it's below

then why are there safety belts?"

Her two eyes, comforting

"it's an issue of your point of view,

the coffee will be coming by soon

soon, so don't worry"

In a jet plane

to shorten the path

and to extend the conversation

two minutes to land

two minutes to take off

the stewardess adds some thoughts

"if you pass through th'night

then it's a sign that you already passed

the distance of your heart from tomorrow

and you lived some above

and you lived some below

the main thing is that you lived because in the end you will land"

i look at her and smile

"it's an issue of your point of view"

now i know, how

she is the bird in flight
