געגועים לבני אדם [Ga'aguim LiBney Adam] [English translation]
We already thought we’d won it all,
Built towers up to the sky —
People, who needs people?
No second Flood will come in our time.
Never, never will we fall.
Forget it, we'll manage on our own.
We’re wise, we’re right, we know the answers,
And there’s nothing higher than us.
Until you came
And infected us
And drove us mad
And confined us
And confounded us
And terrified us.
Who are you?
How well you've brought back sanity
And a longing for people.
We are suddenly consumed in loneliness.
We no longer fly here and there.
The parks are all locked shut.
Weddings with hardly a person.
We've almost lost ourselves,
We've almost stopped feeling.
Soon this will all end,
And I'm requesting, if possible,
That on the morning after you leave
We won't be again as we were.
- Artist:Hanan Ben Ari
