שטח ההפקר [Shetach HaHefker] [English translation]

Outside, the sky is "covering" with clouds

And the wind blows between the houses and the sea

And the sun sets, and no light breaks1

And the room is filled with darkness2

And quietly, motionless, I sit there alone

It is from early childhood that this hour strikes in great grief

For no day, nor night - it is no man's land

And the heart refuses to break free.

Oh - if only you were here with me

No - she is gone and will never come back

And the time that passed since -- as if it didn't pass

In the window, the same ol' branch is wiggling in front of me

The dates change, but it's the same Autumn outside

And for a moment, the "then" becomes the "now".

Oh - you're with me, so good to have you here

No - she is gone and will never come back

Oh - if only you were here with me

No - she is gone and will never come back

And outside, the skies are dark and gloomy

And the city lights are lighting one by one

And I, though tired, turn on the light

Expels the darkness - and go.

1. lit: raises2. or: enshrouded in darkness.
