פשוטים [Pshutim] [English translation]

At the end of the day I head home

It's silent, lights are dimmed

At times during sunset

It's good for me to shut off internally (shut down)

Mini breaths in the rooms*

Eyes shut tight

In my hearts inner chamber

Small joys, small joys

Chorus 1.

This I request (pray):

Watch over us, the simple folk**

Home and pot cooking on the fire

Your embrace, the laughter of children

Thus I request:

Guard us, the innocent ones**

We should never stop feeling***

Your smile, the laughter of children

At the end of the day, it's just the two of us

In the living room on the couch, the world doesn't exist

On the guitar, I strum your heart

And there's no need to chase stuff; everything is already here

In the rooms lie small breaths

Shut eyes

In the chambers of my heart

Small joys, small joys

Chorus 2.

This I request (pray):

Keep us simple**

Home and pot cooking on the fire

Your embrace, the laughter of children

Thus I request:

Keep us innocent**

We should never stop feeling***

Your smile, the laughter of children

Like a tree planted in waters***

The gate to heaven

I assure you: There will be sweet fruits *****

As long as we are (stay) simple

_____________________________

* children sleeping in their bedrooms

** alternates to these lines (I chose one interpretation for each the chorus)

1. Watch over us, the simple folk

Guard us, the innocent ones

2. Keep us simple (preserve our simplicity)

Keep us innocent (preserve our innocence)

*** cease becoming emotional, not be like those who do not access their emotions

**** where the tree's roots draw sustenance from the living waters

***** as in, the fruits of our labors. Good results.
