MAYIM SHKETIM
No'el b'sheket et hadelet
Yotzeh lar'chov ve'ne'elam
Hi mistakelet ve'sho'elet
Eifo yesh lo bayit ba'olam?
Hu mitganev el toch halaila
Hofech la'tzeil bein hatzlalim
Panas boded me'ir milmalah
Shnei pachei ashpah ve'chatulim
Dma'ot k'vedot ba'ot lachnok
Mayim sh'ketim chodrim amok
Dma'ot k'vedot ba'ot lachnol
Mayim sh'ketim chodrim amok
V'hi otzemet et eineyah
Menasa l'shva l'hiradem
Im boker hu yachzor eleyah
K'mo she'ba haboker hakodem
Be'toch sidan hi mitcarbelet
Hu ba eleyah ve'nirdam
Hu lo shome'a, hi sho'elet
Eifo yesh lo bayit ba'olam
Dma'ot k'vedot ba'ot lachnok
Mayim sh'ketim chodrim amok...

QUIET WATERS
STILL WATERS
He locks the door quietly
Goes out into the street and disappears
She watches and asks
Where does he have a home in this world?
He steals away under the cover of darkness
Transforming to shadow amongst the shadows
A single lamp lights from above
Two dustbins, and cats.
Heavy tears come to choke
Quiet waters run deep
Heavy tears come to choke
Quiet waters run deep
And she closes her eyes
Tries in vain to fall asleep
With morning he will return to her
Like he came the morning before
She snuggles into the sheet
He comes to her and falls asleep
He doesn’t hear, she asks
Where in the world does he have a home?
Heavy tears come to choke
Quiet waters run deep
