יחפה [Yaxefa] [English translation]

When I went onto the stage

I thought the show doesn't go on

After the last song.

All of a sudden I'm in the big city,

Set about new beginning,

Parting with memories and family,

Like a little girl who discovers

That there's a bigger playground than those

I had in my childhood until recently.

The city is crowded, loud, sweaty,

It holds a bit of magic and a bit of fear,

I said to myself: "I am lucky".

He came like a thief

And together we climbed mountains of bliss,

Until we reached the top

And the music turned quiet,

Turned into false notes, which wouldn't stop.

And I remained quite alone...

And I was treated like a queen,

Riding in a fancy car,

Yet the palace is sad and cold, the palace is sad and cold...

Wherever I'd go there'd be a carpet

Spread at madam's feet,

Yet I felt barefoot, I felt barefoot...

I want to go back as much as possible,

To a small town, laughter and quiet,

So take me away from here,

Take me away...

And now on the stage

I already know that the show still goes on...
