מקצה לקצה [Mi Katse Le Katse] [English translation]

I’ll climb the mountain, I’ll swim the sea,

I’ll cross the desert, I’ll conquer the world.

Because if we stop questioning – we’ll stop to grow,

If we won’t advance further – then soon we will fall.

Because I’ve seen great minds going to waste

On small politics and mediocre lust.

I saw a thousand of false prophets,

They always tell me they’ve got a plan.

I saw the Earth from end to end -

How much you do look for, how little you find.

Just touches, some drops,

But they are worth more than the sea, I won’t stop trying

And the road calls me to go,

Continue walking even if it’s already darkening out there,

Anything I don’t have I surely don’t need.

This trail is mine and it’s myself I lead.

I’ll climb the mountain...

How often we kept silent when we needed to shout,

How often we shouted when we needed to be silent.

How often we fought instead of giving up,

How often we gave up instead of fighting.

‘cause it never comes up the way you want it,

Life doesn’t happen the way you would expect.

And this running away is a malady of sorts,

That even a thousand of doctors can’t cure.

But every question is an answer in itself,

Every touch is so right.

The power is in the thought – how much love,

Because to celebrate life is the way to survive.

I ask to be given more -

Just allow me to walk more

This road which calls to me to stand up and go out.

I need just what is within me – everything I’ve got to give.

The same road and it unfolds of itself,

All the obstacles are an illusion.
