רץ אל האור [Ratz El Ha'or] [English translation]

Today, I came back into the room

to look at the ceiling

how is it compared to us?

It's still quite clean.

Because I wanted to forget,

and throw it away,

in another failed attempt,

to become mr. nice guy (sweet).

Here's one more wise guy,

so he prefer to keep quiet.

amongst all these jokers

I so want to snap out and shout

Evening falls again

falls onto the street

amongst thousands of beggars

lost souls

when the evening falls again

I fall to the abyss

I am a beggar now myself too

seeking to go back

when the darkness takes over me

I run towards the light

Today, I came back into the room

sweeping the floor

and I started to pour water

scrubbing the soul

and I shut the door

waiting for the judging hour1

between us, only God knows

how will my fate be sealed at the end of it.

Here's one more wise guy,

so he prefer to keep quiet.

amongst all these jokers

I so want to snap out and shout.

Evening descends all over again...
