שבתות וחגים [Shabatot V'Chagim] [English translation]

Now you are at home, you are there now

your children are jumping on you, they are the most beautiful in the world

you melt, open your arms to them, you are truly happy

and soon you will read a story from a new storybook.

You are a exemplary family man, a perfect father

in the end you always return, will never leave

and every time that you travel, don't forget to bring presents for everyone

and now you are at home, you are there now.

And i am your secret partner

i am in the shadows when the sun comes up

i am the mute witness

that is left behind

Alone on the roof - Saturdays and Holidays1

alone on the roof - Saturdays and Holidays

(To the Wife)And you will be surprised to know that I know you

i know exactly where everything can be found

and perhaps you already know, perhaps you already heard my name

or you sleep there quietly and don't suspect that i exist

(To the Husband/Family)But i am always with you all

seeing you all and am not seen

when you are there, what remains for you

of me now

Alone on the roof...

You know how i felt

when i saw you all in the street not long ago

i was okay, didn't show any sign

but at night how much did i cry

how much did i moisten the pillow

why do i always fall in love with the impossible

Alone on the roof...

Now you are at home, you are now there...
