נמס בגשם [Namess BaGeshem] [English translation]

It is raining outside, he is alone and cold

he hears a familiar voice from the public telephone

it is his mother from his home

automated, short

"hello, leave your message and i will call you back"

for him it is very urgent

but she, what does she know or care

she watches the political shows

and does not care to listen to him

she says to him: "don't live here"

also his father said

"one like you will not live with us"

we didn't ask for an odd duck such as you

Raining outside, continues to pour down

an ambulance wails, a police car passes by in the street

son, where do you live

everyone asks him

me, in the public park

on a bench above the sea

he was seen last with a backpack and a sweater

left an envelope on the desk in the room

and wrote as an continuation of their last conversation

one like me will not live here

I prefer to live in a hut on the beach

(REF)

Melting in the rain, flying in the wind

they will not, not cry

alone all night

who is he waiting for

melting in the rain, flying in the wind

on a night as cold as this

if G-d was here

he would also freeze

It is already late

his mother is in the shower stall, wrapped in a towel

the rain is falling, her laundry is getting wet

his father is on the telephone ordering a video and a meal

and falls asleep in his pajamas opposite the family channel

raining outside and the traffic is crawling

the delivery people are on the way, two police officers are at the door

they found him frozen, thought that he was asleep

at the dark end of the city

on the beach
