תעצרו את העולם [Tatzru Et HaOlam] [English translation]

At Jon's funeral

my shoulders were burned

every time i embraced someone it really hurt

summer really started the day before

and with my child i walked around for hours in only an undershirt

i didn't think about today

i imagined tomorrow

this is the most human sin that there is

and then the telephone rang

Ronit asked: "Are you sitting down?"

and everything suddenly started to turn upside down

Stop the world, i want to get off

it's not possible that this is the end

stop the world, i have to get off

i close my eyes now, not thinking

stop speaking, i don't want to hear

anything that you have to say

how does this continue on from here

i think that i know

and this is a plan that surprisingly i want to lose

At Jon's funeral i met people

that i hadn't seen for years - and perhaps this is good

it's not that they are bad or that i'm good

or the opposite

simply that the vibe isn't right

it is seems a bit ridiculous

in the permitted radius, the baby carriage and i

that this is the clearest complete moment that i have

and then the telephone rang

Ronit asked: "Are you sitting down?"

after an opening like this

you aren't smiling any more

Stop the world, i want to get off

it's not possible that this is the end

stop the world, i have to get off

i close my eyes now, not thinking

stop speaking, i don't want to hear

anything that you have to say

how does this continue on from here

i think that i know

and this is a plan that surprisingly i want to lose

At Jon's funeral

Shiri sang a song

i also tried

and in the middle this happened

a sentence from a song that he really loved

and we talked for hours about him on some trip

to the Galilee or to Eliat or to New York or to Madrid

how that the world was ours for a half minute

and then the telephone rang

Ronit asked: "Are you sitting down?"

and i chose to stand even if this is a terrible time.
