SHLOSHA YAMIM (Yehuda Poliker)

Mistovev sha’ot baregel be New York,
lo ma’amin
Yetzurim vetipusim mikol geza,
dat vemin
Mitmale adrenaline
umit’ahev bechol binyan gavo’h?
Mistakel al eze ktovet
shekatav eze shikor
Halavan hu lavan vehashachor hu shachor
Ani yode’a yesh kisharon
she’af pa’am lo nishbor

Nishkach me’efo banu
leshlosha yamim
Mikol ma shepachadnu sham, kol hachayim
Shlosha yamim ze rega bekochav acher
AL tistanver, al tistachrer,
ani omer veshoche’ach

Shlosha yamim ke’ilu shehayinu tamid
Af echad benenu lo yafrid
Rachok rachok betoch shderot shel chofesh
Klum lo ko’ev yoter,
klum lo mafchid
Af echad benenu lo yafrid
Klum lo ko’ev , klum lo mafchid
New York, New York
Betoch shderot shel chofesh
Shlosha yamim ke’ilu shehayinu tamid

Yesh yamim shenimchaku

Yesh rakevet shefisfasti

Ani nochet el hasdera hachamishit shel hachayim

Bachutz kvar minus shesh aval bifnim ze cham
Pit’om ani ra’ev, ohev velo nirdam
Shlosha yamim ke’ilu hem makom acher
Al tistanver, al tistachrer, ani omer veshoche’ach

Shlosha yamim ke’ilu……..

Af echad benenu lo yafrid
Klum lo ko’ev , klum lo mafchid
New York, New York
Betoch shderot shel chofesh
Shlosha yamim ke’ilu shehayinu tamid

THREE DAYS

Walking around New York for hours,
I don’t believe
Creatures from different races,
religions and kinds
I am filled with adrenaline,
falling in love with every tall building
Looking at a post on the wall,
written by a drunk
White is white, black is black
I know, there is a talent
we will never break

We will forget where we came from
for three days
From all we feared there all our lives
Three days is a minute in another planet
Don’t get blinded by it, don’t get dizzy,
I say, and then I forget

Three days, as if we were there all the time
No one will separate us
Far away in boulevards of freedom
Nothing will hurt anymore,
nothing will scare us
No one will separate us
Nothing will hurt, nothing will scare us
New York, New York
In boulevards of freedom
Three days, as if we were there all the time

There are days which were wiped off,
will never be able to bring back
There is a train I missed,
but the night is still young
I land into the fifth boulevard of life

Outside is nearly minus six, but inside it is hot
Suddenly I am hungry, I love, I don’t fall asleep
Three days as if it is another place
Don’t get blinded by it, don’t get dizzy,
I say, and then I forget

Three days, as if we......

No one will separate us
Nothing will hurt, nothing will scare us
New York, New York
In boulevards of freedom
Three days, as if we were there all the time
