סתכל לי בעיניים [Stakel Li Ba'eynaim] [English translation]

Look me in the eye and tell me that i'm

i'm the criminal here?

Yesterday i went by myself to the sea shore

to relax for a moment

to wash my problem in the sea

a cop jumped on me

why get involved in nonsense

everything come from my taxes

there are lies, conspiracies, intrigues

and all on my bank account

Look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

Across the street a contractor with a truck

is polluting our river

he has the permits in his right pocket

and a bribed official

surely a long time ago we swore to save lives

in the name of our beloved land

now she is sold to whoever pays the highest price

and i'm going to the sea for a bit...

Look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

pay taxes - always

follow the law - always

not lose hope - always

run to work - always

i'm always connected with belief - always

see the light at the end of the tunnel - always

so tell me what happened

oy my land, my motherland has changed into a foreigner

Look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

Out landscapes have turned into concrete

our children values have turned into finance

the vision of our existence has turned into real estate

honor to our forefathers, only if there's time

A mother cries about her son thrown to the side of the road

poverty exists among us, only that we should not feel or see it

pity for the stranger only exists with a rating

tell me, did we do all this work1for nothing?

A whole generation wants to life

a whole generation want to be

Look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

look me in the eye and tell me that i'm...

who is the criminal here?
