אמן על הילדים [Amen al hayeladim] [English translation]

Oh, how time flies, still hard to grasp that I'm a father

Waking up from being a child into the reality I live in

Remember being out of breath after three kids

I said, "Wait," you said, "You'll see, they'll grow up and you will understand."

Suddenly they're six, soon to be seven, and how amazing they are

But the pressure grew intense, built itself a tower

The heart only has two rooms

And the conscience's working even on Saturdays and holidays

You've been the Mother of the Year for years

I'm still terrified that...

I won't make it in time

To guard, to save, to rescue

To take the bullet for them

Oh, how vulnerable is the heart

I pray that my kids

Won't inherit my issues

That they'd embrace each other

May they'll be healthy forever, amen

I want to be there for them just like I promised

To sit at the end of the day, knowing I've succeeded

Meanwhile I'm counting small victories, happy I didn't run away

To the bathroom or the computer, I just stopped and listened

To the stories about birds

To the thoughts, to the drawings

To the dreams they'll fulfill someday

To the heroes, to the princesses

With their silent eyes

There's a sea of secrets if you truly listen

I pray that my kids

Won't inherit my issues

That they'd embrace each other

May they'll be healthy forever, amen

I pray, pray, pray that my kids

Won't inherit my issues

That they'd embrace each other

May they'll be healthy forever, amen

I'm standing, looking from the sidelines

Watching from the outside, cheering on

Even from the abyss, even from the sky

I'll drop everything to be there

Just embrace each other

May you'll be healthy forever, amen
