Neshamot tovot tamid ovdot

Hakesef rak niyar

Im techakeh lamachar

Shkalim, shkalim

SHEKELS
If the situation's hard and bad for you
and there's nothing to live on
don't lose hope
people are thinking of you.
Good souls always work
additional hours
so leave everything behind you.
Money's just paper
and in life there's a past
the present and future's in front of you.
If you wait for tomorrow
maybe you'll be happy
to find that people are thinking of you too.
Shekels, shekels
are falling on us
and someone else is taking them.
You're captured in commitments
without a cap
you take it all hard
but continue to live.
If the bank account
becomes limited
and you have debts
they won't give up on one shekel.
They're worried that you'll pay
it all in additional installments
on your neck they'll put a rope.
Only if you pay
and if you don't fight
they'll let you go in the meanwhile.
In the world of tomorrow
you turn to be redundant
another one with debts
just a mouth for two.
Shekels, shekel...
