חלומות של אחרים [Chalomot Shel Acherim] [English translation]

Years of everyone running away, years of everyone returning,

Chasing after the sun,

Trapped within circles, we are all entangled,

So what are you still dreaming about?

Years of hiding, years of everyone knowing

An over-turned stone,

At night and at day everyone’s already talking

What are you still staying for...

Better to run to the fire, search, don’t ask

What are you afraid of?

There’s nothing to think when he says, there’s no better time

Seize the day...

Years of asking, years of not listen

Keeping everything in the stomach

It’s accumulating and it’s getting stronger, and it’s finished in the end

What are you speaking about,

Better to run to the fire, search, don’t ask

What are you afraid of?

There’s nothing to think when he says, there’s no better time

Seize the day...

It gets out that you are always quiet,

But in the faces, it’s burning and everything’s scorched

All the words that disappeared

Find them in the dreams of other...

Years of opening and of staying closed, holding tight to the wind

Each tragedy follows another, it is coming, it is speaking

Returning to the open wound...

Better to run to the fire, search, don’t ask

What are you afraid of?

There’s nothing to think when he says, there’s no better time

Seize the day...

It gets out that you are always quiet...

Years of everyone running away, years of everyone returning,

Chasing after the sun.
