בשביל לעשן [Bishvil Leashen] [English translation]

What do you live for? Asked the old man

I lit up a cigarette and told him: to smoke

I told him

I wake up to smoke

I drink coffee to smoke

I read the paper to smoke

I take a shit to smoke

And all that I care about,

And all that I intend to do is to smoke

I take a shower to smoke

I grab something to eat in order to smoke

I go out for a walk to smoke

Along the shore to smoke

And all that I care about,

And all that I intend to do is to smoke

I told him

Everything I do in life,

And all the excuses I make

Are all to smoke

Sleep with a woman to smoke

Think a thought to smoke

Write something down to smoke

Get closer, in order to smoke

Step away, in order to smoke

I am amiable, in order to smoke

And all that's of interest after my death,

Yes what I intend to do after my death

Is to smoke

What do you live for? Asked the old man

I told him: What’s so interesting about that?
