רצינו רק לשיר [RaTzinu Rak LaShir] [English translation]

I was then the smallest person in the city

the smallest person in the city

and upon my return from the streets

my father hung signs of the type

corrupt politicians always swap places

only true friends will never ever be swapped

i was already hungry to sing

hungry to sing

i sang with all my friends

on a strange roof opposite the river

the question was who will be here

in order to gather up the broken pieces1

who will marry whom and who will be a singer?

All the world is full of sorrow

all is decided up front by G-d

i think that i finally understood this a bit

near the sport center she told me let's go

i am a bit hungry

i only wanted to sing with her to sing with her

we only wanted to sing

we only wanted to sing

I remember the days, the nights

heavy rainfall

returning from the army, sleeping for hours

flying to her in Holon2

have a coffee, she suggested to me

when i got up frozen, scratching

there's nothing like love so let's not separate today

All the world is full of sorrow

all is decided up front by G-d

i think i didn't understand this still

when friends flowed at night to her yard

we only wanted to sing

and occasionally to revolt

we only wanted to sign even when tears were shed

This song was written on my sweet i-Phone

sing it if you want to sing more here

in the Karaoke rooms or the most empty rooms in your heart

like inexpensive emojis in stores

between the righteous ones and the homeless lovers, yes, yes

near all those that don't ever want to grow old

inside burning community centers or in airplanes taking off

and in life without inhibitions

Everyone wants to sing

everyone wants to sing

We wanted to sing then

we wanted to sing then

Everyone wants to sing

everyone wants to sing
