בור ועם הארץ [Bur Ve'am Ha'aretz] [Transliteration]

Kol hayom oved kmo meshuga ken

Boneh karyera od siba lede'aga ken

Amok bifnim otah tchusha azah ken

Shekulam gonvim otti, shula zaken

Yotse ladrachim kvishim pkukim, ze tipa malchits

Hachayim hem kmo mas'chetat mitsim, achuya mashprits

Ein ksaffim hakissim lechutsim, nihiya li matish

Vehachayim ossim anashim kashim, rotsa lehargish?

Bur ve'am ha'arets hamassa sheli mefarech

Haderech aruka vehashvil rak mit'arech

Kol ha'emtsa'im ksherim velekesef baduk nits'tarech

Az beintayim bo nizrom al haketsev asbir lachem ech

Ze holech, kulam lehistader vena lashevet

Yeladim ze sh'at sipur, t[e]nachshu mi ‘chief’ hashevet

Amarti la hachayim hem kmo galgal, hee anta "Kapara hem kmo shavshevet"

Chiyachti vehemshachti le'ashen kemo katar rakevet

Hegati ad lekan ve'al tish'al ech

An'lo omed batsad, oved bafarech

Hem sha'alu "Le'an?" aniti ana'aref

Bur ve'am ha'arets, bur bur ve'am ha'arets

Ein li hochachot chotchot shtuyot beselek

Yom yom kol ha'olam shoteh li ta'dam veta'delek

Sharmutot matsikot ba'ot holchot, kuss'emek

Walla exiyot ozvot velo chozrot, betsedek

Kol erev chozer le'oto bait

Mega MC im machssor be-‘megabyte’

Kaffe shachor, sigaryot ‘winston lite’

Bachalomot aff me'al kulam, mamri kmo ayit

Lo ro'eh mimeter, lo ikvi velo simetri

Bur ve'am ha'arets, lo bagrut lo psichometri

Lo psichotechni, lo ettending la'externi

Rastaman ashkenazi poeti sh'chunati moderni

Im tirtsu, ein zo agada, talui baswagga

Even mitgalgelet kra le-‘nechi1’ mick jagga

Pashut kemo ABC o abagada

Tachnis et hapizmon vetfadal, hal'ah, challas...

[Chorus]

Tagid li ma, ma koreh itcha

Tagid li ma, ma ihiye itcha

Tagid li ma, ma yitse mimcha

Yeled meshuga ani achuz teruf

Tagid li ma, ma koreh itcha

Tagid li ma, eifo telech atah

Tagid li ma, ma yitse mimcha

Chaku tir'u
