בלדה לעוזב קיבוץ [Baladah l'Ozev Kibbutz] [English translation]
Five years ago left the kibbutz
with a suitcase and waving bangs of hair
the said about him "we will see how he gets along outside.
you will see that he will return crawling to the cow shed"
he worked in a seedy steakhouse
lives with his aunt and survives on credit
on the kibbutz they organized a delegation
they could not tolerate the disgrace
Once in a blue moon he came to visit
he would disappear on a path, and would sit with his parents in the room1
blush a bit embarrassed and without much talking
"yes" and "no", "don't worry, everything is fine with me"
said that he didn't need, but took anyway
a kilo of Alexander and a few Jonathans2
and mumbled, "thank you, you know
just for the road, of course."
He will return in the end, he will return in the end
it is a small bug3 and it will pass, not important
he will return in the end, he will return in the end
it is a small bug and it will pass, not important
he, will return in the end
How the years pass, difficult to believe
he is without long bangs, slightly balding
they say he thinks on the left and lives on the right4
in a villa that he built, somewhere in Herzliya
and once in a blue moon he arrives for a visit
on his arm is his wife the actress
sitting with his parents eating watermelon
the kibbutz looks at his car.
He will return in the end, he will return in the end
it is a small bug and it will pass, not important
he will return in the end, he will return in the end
it is a small bug and will pass, not important
he, will return in the end
Someone from the kibbutz comes to visit the city
embarrassed with his backpack and waving bangs of hair
he serves a strong whiskey, "Drink young man"
and he smiles "tell me, so what is going on in the cow shed?"
loves to recline in the arm chair
to remind every time even when not necessary
in the surrounding fluent conversation
"When i was in the kibbutz..."
He will not return, he will not return
and why not and why, it doesn't matter
he will not return, he will not return
and why not and why, it doesn't matter
he, he will not return
1. in the old kibbutzim the word 'cheder - room' was used as an apartment2. Alexander and Jonathan are types of Apples3. phase4. political references
