A PERFECT WORLD

A COMPLETE WORLD 

I thought of the playground that is not there
today a big hotel stands there
the victories we celebrated and the tear we shed
how much we wanted to succeed greatly
and how many brotherly covenants were absorbed in sand

I thought of the house you grew up in
today strangers live there
the kisses we stole and the secrets we loved
how could we be so innocent
and how much we loved when we were kids

I thought that in a perfect world
you'd never leave
the playground is already orphaned and nobody's there
and only I am still there in my memory everything exists now

I remembered again the day you disappeared from me
you wanted to find a rosier future
how she suddenly disappeared, the soul of the neighbourhood
how the years run, pass, go by fast
that which was familiar turns to be different

I thought that in a perfect world...

עולם מושלם

חשבתי על מגרש המשחקים שאיננו
היום עומד שם בית מלון גדול
הנצחונות ששמחנו והדמעות ששפכנו
כמה רצינו להצליח בגדול
וכמה בריתות אחים שנספגו בחול

חשבתי על הבית שגדלת בו
היום גרים בו אנשים זרים
הנשיקות שגנבנו והסודות שאהבנו
איך שיכולנו להיות כלכך תמימים
וכמה אהבנו כשהיינו ילדים

חשבתי לי שבעולם מושלם
את לא היית עוזבת לעולם
מגרש המשחקים כבר מיותם ואין בו אדם
ורק אני עדיין שם בזיכרון שלי עכשיו הכל קיים

נזכרתי שוב ביום שנעלמת לי
רצית למצוא עתיד ורוד יותר
איך היא פתאום נעלמה הנשמה של השכונה
איך השנים רצות חולפות עוברות מהר
מה שהיה מוכר הופך להיות אחר

PERFECT WORLD

i thought about the playground that is not here
today stands there a big hotel
the triumphs that made us happy and the tears that we poured
how much we wanted to suceed greatly
and how the brother pacts that were soaked in the sand
i thought about the house i grew up in
today strange people live in it
the kisses that we stole and the secrets that we loved
how we were able to be so innocent
and how we loved when we were kids

i thought i was in a perfect world
you would never leave
the playground is already abandoned ( lonely)
and there is no one in it
and i'm still there in my memory now everything exists

i remembered again the day that you disappeared
i wanted to find more brighter future
how she suddenly disappeared the soul of the neighborhood
how the years are running and passing so quickly
what was familiar turns to be different
