ASHLAYOT METUKOT
Im kol ha'anashim sheba'olam,
yitnu pit'om yadaim
sharsheret anakit shel anashim,
mikan ve'ad machar.
Im kol hamatosim shel ha'olam,
yamri'u lashamaim
veyafitzu mesarim tovim,
shel tom ve'ahavah.
Im al kol i tzedek shenotzar,
nash'pritz sabon umayim,
lo yihyeh kipu'ach
vegam lo yihyeh bamah lim'rod
im kol hamanhigim shel ha'olam,
yarimu kos lechaim,
et kol hachayalim sheba'olam
yalbishu bevarod.
Ashlayot, ashlayot metukot
kshe'ani ro'ah, kshe'ani otzemet ayin,
Ashlayot, ashlayot metukot
she'ani shoma'at, kshenirdemet mul hachadashot.
Im nishtol prachim tzivoni'im,
yafim bechol hashetach,
az lechol sadeh us'tam midbar,
yihyeh pit'om signon.
Im abir chatich al sus lavan,
yidhar yamtin bapetach,
az ani ehyeh lenesichah
velo yihyeh armon.
Im lechol ra'ev sheba'olam,
niten rak sak shel kemach,
az yatchil lichyot chayey kavod
betoch hametziut.
Im nafsik et hasha'on,
achshav yizrom li zman lanetzach,
kol ha'anashim yichyu
chaim shel osher vecherut.
Ashlayot, ashlayot metukot...

SWEET ILLUSIONS
If all the people in the world,
suddenly held hands
a great chain of people,
from here until tomorrow.
If all the planes of the world,
would take off for the sky
and scatter good messages,
of purity and love.
If on each injustice that is created,
we spray soap and water,
there won't be any deprivation (of priviledges)
or a stage for rebelling
if all the leaders of the world,
raised a glass to a toast (to life)
all the world's soldiers
they'd dress in pink
Illusions, sweet illusions
that I see, when I close an eye,
Illusions, sweet illusions
that I hear, when I fall asleep to the news.
If we plan flowers - colourful and
pretty in every zone,
then in each field or even any desert,
suddenly there'll be style.
If a cute knight on a white horse,
will ride waiting at the doorstep,
then I'll turn to a princess
and he'll have a palace.
If to each starving (person) in the world,
we (will) give a bag of flour,
then he'll start to live a life of honour
in the midst of reality.
If we stop the clock,
the now time will flow for me forever,
all the people will live
a life of happiness and liberty.
Illusions, sweet illusions...
