שתי ארצות [Shtey Aratsot] [English translation]

I got it immediately that it is not forever

Like a bird torn between two countries.

I looked for a reason to continue going

Like choosing between to live or to die.

I turned the key, started on my way,

I did swear not to look back.

People have stopped, looked at the sky,

I got afraid and wanted to go back.

To go back

To the one moment I have lost,

A moment before the time has ended.

Halt to remember

Before everything here changes,

The fire comes closer, the window closes.

I continued driving, what else could I do,

I’ve met a blind man who had seen God.

I looked for words to light my way,

I couldn’t find, wanted to go back.

To go back

To the one moment I have lost,

A moment before the time has ended.

Halt to remember

Before everything here changes,

The fire comes closer, the window closes.

To go back, to go back

To the one moment I have lost,

A moment before the time has ended.

Halt to remember

Before everything here changes,

The fire comes closer, the window closes.

(before the time has ended)

I continued driving, what else could I do,

I’ve met a blind man who had seen God.
