בון וויאג' [Bon Voyage] [English translation]
Opening:
Shotguns, Soul J
Not standing around, we keep moving...
Chorus:
The heart beats, pound my chest, I'm ready
To get up, shake off, and move on from here
Something from inside tells me all the time:
"Don't stop walking, don't stop walking"
The heart beats, pound my chest, I'm ready
And even if sometimes it seems there's nowhere to
Something from inside tells me all the time:
"Don't stop walking, don't stop walking"
Verse 1 (Ortega):
It's the peak of emotion, shot glass in the air and my hands on the wheel
I actually realize that I've tripped myself
Shake off the suffering, climb with a rope
Level - fire, I conquer, plant the flag
How do I recycle the trash in the chase for the Shekel 1
The story that's not over till everyone's deep in the grave
When the bass gets in the "treble", when the tune has lyrics
Fine, blow off the roof, foresee the revolution like Herzl 2
These are the guys that are above the average, cold below freezing
Because it's cool, we come to break the lock of the safe
It's the muse that's pulled out, it's the blossom after the autumn
The battery only gets better with every year that passes
Take a ride on the hovercraft, a taste of the whipped cream
It's a ride between the starts when the muse is caressing
Pave the road with tar, at the end there's
The kingdom of tomorrow, what's left for us
Is just to walk...
Chorus
Verse 2 (Shay 360):
Yesterday I crawled and today I don't stop walking
Yesterday I worked like a slave, today I live like a king
Yesterday I stuttered and today I shoot volleys of words
Metaphors that fly over their heads - falling leaves 3
Because their tomorrow is my yesterday
I provided the soundtrack for their lives
Which means that their present is the day before my yesterday 4
So how'll you understand what Shay does today?
Instead of touching the white powder, I touched the cloud
Instead of burning green leaves, I count green bills
Between 50 shades of grey I always see the white
So 50 MC's won't stop a dangerous MC
A sharp MC with words of Hayim Nahman Bialik 5
And Mark Twain, Molière, and Alterman 6
I'm big, I'm fuck, I'm alive, I exist.
The scion of Hadad, the prophet in the whale, I'm Done!
Chorus
Verse 3 (Soul J):
No... not now
All that you've been through, all that you carried
Not for nothing
Just put your head up high
Get up it's not too late
The stars shine tonight
Like you'll shine tomorrow...
Verse 4 (Tuna):
Tomorrow at noon
Sketches on the floor, clothespins on my eyes
It's ready in a moment, no, it's ready in a moment...
She banged on the table "You've been saying that for two years"
True, but this time it burns
Come touch my chest, look the heart doesn't lie
She rolled her eyes and put a note on the fridge
"There's lasagna in the freezer, call when you grow up"
And try explaining, I'm building a spaceship here
When the world outside's closed in a frame
This is what I do, it's what they want
It's the road to freedom, it's jet-fuel
The final screw, finito la collage 7
Take off from the living room, Sayonara! Bon Voyage!
Buy some dress, clear the garage
Because when I come back, I'll come back with the moon in the trunk...
