מחכים למשיח [Mekhakim Le-Meshiakh] [English translation]

Sitting for hours waiting for Meshiakh*1 to come

Meshiakh is a key figure, his hand is in all and all's hand is in him*2

A thick cloud and Yerukham blinks with his lips*3

Yuda*4 look at his watch and rolls his eyes

An office in the north, Artzieli LTD an adviser

It's afternoon and outside the world is running around

Presses the buzzer answers "Bring us some coffee"

Meshiakh isn't coming

Meshiakh isn't calling*5 either

General silence, five stressed people

The door opens and Yardena is all smiles

The black for Yuda, the tea for Artzieli the son

Yardena walks out, Ezra doesn't stop smoking

Thus an hour by hour go by

Old man Artzieli knows he made no mistake

dripping sweat and thundering his voice on the son

Meshiakh isn't coming

Meshiakh isn't calling either

The door bell saws the air-conditioner's murmur

Shoots*6 Yeruham to the door cutting through the smoke

Artzieli the son looks at his father from the side

And in the entrance appears a copper with his cap in his hand*7

and Yuda says "Something must've happened"

Yerukham tells him "just like that*8 they don't send the police"

The policeman says "There has been an accident and that's why..."

Meshiakh isn't coming

Meshiakh isn't calling either

"An accident to who?" asks Artzieli the son

"An accident to the country" answers the poor policeman

"The stock market*9 has fallen, people are jumping from the roof

Meshiakh jumped too and it was informed that he was killed"

"All is doomed/lost" Cries Ezra Dahan the contractor

"Meshiakh is in the sky and we're without the money here"

And beautiful Yardena mumbles "This can't be!"

Meshiakh will not come

Neither will meshiakh call

"Bitter December" cried newspaper headlines

and the minister of exchequer gave an interview in Mabat*10

"The public is stupid*11 therefore the public is paying

What comes easy will disappear as easily"

The little civilian had to pay big time

And I'm interested in Yardena more than anything else

(I) go to reserve service and count the money that there isn't

Meshiakh isn't coming

Meshiakh isn't calling either

Yes yes, Meshiakh isn't calling either
