מה שיש [Ma Sheiyesh] [English translation]

When everything looks grey, I'm chill

I get up in the morning with a slightly different approach

and on holidays I ask, what's changed?

Always the same stories, every year.1

I want to live on an island or Copacabana2

I'll lay down to rest in the shade of a fig tree,

enjoying the moment on a rainbow,

and accepting the world with understanding.

Sometimes I'm an actor on life's stage.

I just need to go forwards.

I've already gotten here.

I feel like the time has come --

To be thankful for life as it is,

I can't ask for more than that,

because a fire is burning in me, which will burn up everything.

Learn to take disappointments in stride.

Today my heart is full of belief,

and every note that I sing has meaning.

The tune is never enough.

Sometimes I'm an actor on life's stage.

I just need to go forwards.

I've already gotten here.

I feel like the time has come --

To be thankful for life as it is,

I can't ask for more than that,

because a fire is burning in me, which will burn up everything.
