AVARTI RAK KIDEI LIROT
Kan hayah mikchol v'anu shnaim
Metzayerim tziur b'toch tzvaim, shelo yochlu lidhot
Kan haytah tirah venahar zorem bli mayim
Avarti rak kidei lirot
Hatirah amdah b'rosh hageva
Betocha naflu harbeh milim, she'ish od lo amar
Haprachim sharku min mizmor machmi lateva
Hayom hu shir m'od mukar
Lo, ein tirah al tabit aleha, hi eineinah
Ein ma larutz kacha, ein yoter shamayim
Hagvirah kvar meta
Ein nahar bli mayim
Avarti rak kidei lirot
Hakirot sdukim, hakol kafah
Veata yoshev berosh zakuf v'kvar muchan lishlot
Kach et shtei yadai v're'eh bishtei einecha
Hayom hakol bo'er pachot
Lo, ein tirah al tabit aleha...

I PASSED JUST TO SEE
Here there was a paintbrush and us two
Drawing a picture with colors that can't fade
Here there was a fort and a river flowing without water
I passed just to look
The fort stood at the top of the hill
Inside many words were uttered that no man has yet said
The flowers whistled a hymn complementing nature
Today it's a very well known song
No, there's no fort - don't look at it, it's not there.
There nothing to run like that for, there's no more sky
The mistress of the fort has already passed away
There's no river flowing without water
I passed just to look.
The walls are cracked, everything is frozen
And you sit with a raised head ready to take rein
Take my two hands and see with your two eyes
Today everything burns a little less
No there's no fort - don't look at it...
