To Live

To hear Jazz in New Orleans
to live two years in Paris
to feel for a full day that nothing is missing
to make a marathon of Pedro Almodóvar films1
to cut my hair and color it red
to suddenly fall in love in the middle of the street
to drink alone a bottle of Jack Daniel
to allow your head to do what it will2
 
To sleep with her on the sea shore
not to feel guilt feelings
to learn to play at least one song on the piano
to be right but despite that to leave it alone
to parachute from a airplane, to run away from the law
to invent some perfume with the smell of an infant
to choose her again after many years have passed
to dance the Agadoo3at the wedding of your great grandchildren
 
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes
 
To get lost in a foreign city
to pass a month or two on a boat
to sleep with your son in a tent pitched in the desert
to feel for a full day that nothing is missing
to read Tolstoy
to make the Sabbath
to change myself instantly
 
Because i was already fine as expected
so a moment before that life will change
 
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes
 
When the day will come to pass on
the sentry will request that i say
a few last words before the gate closes
i would want to summarize
with a full heart it was worthwhile
i lived my life... i lived my life fully
 
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes

Shimon the Neighbor

And the mailbox is overflowing
All the letters slide out to the floor
I'll hop over it as to not make it dirty
And leave.
The sun was hot and it melted a little
And once again I must go to the auto repair shop
Also the coffee got spilled.
Now it's all sticky,
This skirt is too short and it bugs me.
 
Shimon the neighbor passed away three days ago
Right at the entrance of the hospital
They even put a sign on his door.
For five years, he said this quick 'Hello',
I was afraid of you while barely knowing you
Strange, it's dark in apartment number 1.
 
I wish the traffic light will change from red already
My whole day was nearly spent because of this
Also sadness suddenly came and didn't want to go away
No, this isn't good
How could we not leave a check at the wedding
Once again I call her but she's not available
She's probably sleeping next to him in bed,
She deserves him and her deserves
Her.

They say he wasn't quite alright
He took medications just to leave his room
He was too afraid to say anything
He had only one lady friend
Perhaps.
 

It's April Every Year

They say that my reality got twisted
When I suddenly looked in the mirror
I saw a woman who looks nothing like me
I ate my heart out all day long
Panic attack, don't ask
It's hard for me to breathe lately
And with no reason at all I haven't gone out to a party
For a few years now, I'm not smoking.
Putting the radio on mute
Though you should know
Sad songs no longer remind me of you
I lay my head on a white sofa
In a waiting room, been waiting for a while now
For the doctor to come and bring me a medicine
The world is beautiful.
 
Only every now and then
Do I feel the urge to kiss your face
Bite down hard until your lips will bleed
It really is hard
But no love story is perfect
So if you let me
In an ocean of longing, I'll swim right to you
For without you I have no life
Other than that everything's normal
It's April every year
 
Everything's normal...
 
Paper boats come down to the water
When the wind calls
Several tears in my eyes
Are searching for the way out
I locked them in the meantime
Now's not the time to reveal the truth
I wrinkle up the paper, not letting anyone look into my heart.
And it still hurts to listen to songs
Though you should know
Men in uniforms no longer remind me of you
Almost balanced, every day the dosage is changing
I'm talking to a wall and the wall doesn't answer
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
 
Only every now and then
Do I feel the urge to kiss your face
Bite down hard until your lips will bleed
It really is hard
But no love story is perfect
So if you let me
In an ocean of longing, I'll swim right to you
For without you I have no life
Other than that everything's normal
It's April every year

Bite down hard until your lips will bleed

For without you I have no life
Other than that everything's normal
It's April every year
 
Everything's normal...
 

A Night of April Fools

A tale that may or may not occurred.
And what hasn't occurred, was a big, big problem...
Let's start from the beginning.
 
I just didn't get to say it so I crammed it all into an album.
You'll know you who are, basically,
It's weird how you've shortened my fuse
In just a few hours.
A night of April Fools.
Directions, no reception,
Some unclear force is taking control over me.
Like a raid of an army man on an unarmed woman
Who was tricked.
One April night.
 
A night of April Fools
Nothing's over between us 'cause nothing's even started.
As usual, I was
A naive believer, naive believer, (sex, sex1).
A night of April Fools
A naive believer.
 
The conversation had accidentally took an unexpected turn,
Family, and loneliness, and trust,
Some emotion awoke
And the moment it ripened,
It fell on-
April 2nd.
I've seen a tear and men with tears
Prevent me from sleeping at night.
Yes, it could be that I've swallowed a molehill the size of a mountain2.
It doesn't matter because something's moved in my heart
And never came back since that night.
 
A night of April Fools
Nothing's over between us 'cause nothing's even started.
As usual, I was
A naive believer, naive believer, (sex, sex).
A night of April Fools
You shot into the air 'It's just a trick'
With no flame or fire.
A night of love in a 'L-I-E'.
 
Not everything was written about you exactly
Don't be so smug, self-assured,
There are other inspirations, you're not the only
Psycho who flies over to me with the wind. Sit down.
All kinds of questions will probably come now,
'What did you write about? Who's the guy? That's wrong, Keren!'
There's nothing to explain, it's all just delusions
Nothing was between us, but a lie lie lie lie of...

Any connection between the characters is completely accidental
A tale that was, or was not true.
 

• 1. This line is a play on words. When he sings 'Peti ma'amin, min, min (פתי מאמין, מין, מין)', it sounds like he just echoes 'ma'amin', but the word 'min' could also mean 'sex' which fits the song.
• 2. Literally: '...swallowed a fly the size of an elephant.'

Love is Better

Love is better
Than living without mistaking, without trying to let go
Of the fear of giving up on wars
Love is better
Than shooting others
And not seeing that it's all for nothing if the pain isn't gone
Love is better
There is enough of it in this world, like air
You need to let go in order to take
Love in a word, in the end and the beginning
Before it slips away
 
Some people have nothing to lose
People who've seen the darkness falls
Would give everything for all that is obvious to us
We better love
 
Love is better
He sits in the same corner for years
Sometimes they throw him some coins
Love was better
Kids don't know how to lie
Gifts can't replace what is actually missing
 
Some people have nothing to lose
People who've seen the darkness falls
Would give everything for all that is obvious to us
We better love
 
And some people haven't learned how to give up yet
They feel that only they deserve more
If you can change the tomorrow, then why not
Let's start now
And if now
Love is better.
 

Your Silence Shall Be To Your Husband

You remember the light that fell upon the street
But you do not remember the street
On the way, another summer ended and soon
Cracks on the sidewalk will turn to a wet sea
 
When your steps will soak up the drops
The clouds are the first to cry
And love there's only within rooms
Out in the sun, the lies open up
 
You love his hand that caresses you silently
But it is him whom you don't love
And if he is the pain, then he is also the comfort
And meanwhile it grows, except there is no soil here
 
So you should return home
And your desire shall be to your husband
And love there's only within rooms
Out in the sun, the lies open up
 
You watch over his heart so it would not stray from yours
But you do not watch over him
All of your questions you lay there where you stand
Will he answer, it does not matter
You already know
 
When the street is full of alleys
The weak are the first to make mistakes
And love there's only within rooms
Out in the sun, the lies open up
 
So you should talk to yourself
And your silence shall be to your husband
And regret comes in the morn
In the dark, your secrets are safe
 

Till He Returns

Middle of the week, not here nor there
There's still time to smell the ocean
And them as well
If there are angels in the world, then it's them
I turn on the light to wake those two up
We listen to a song that is not too sad
Till he returns
Suddenly news arrive, reality attacks
For too long the reality didn't change
All movement stopped
It's not so bad, just breathe, breathe,
Be strong, I deceive myself
I just don't want them to sense it, that's all that matters
Till he returns
The bridge is narrow and twisted
And sometimes your heart can fall
We have much to lose in every turn
The most important thing is to not be afraid, till he returns
 
Middle of the week, not here nor there
There's still time to smell the ocean, what about them
If there are angels in the world, then it's them
I ask of you: God, keep them safe
I look at the photos again and again and again
Till I return
 

The one that's there instead of me

she decides to stay at your place today
to sleep with you in the room
first lights of dawn are shining
removing [her] pants and hang
a shirt of her on the window still
she will sleep here today
she will sleep here today
 
she has black curls
not long, maybe short
and they lie on the sheet
suddenly she get excited
[you'll] hear her whispering
maybe she's [yet] too shy to feel
don't be so apathetic,
I remember how I was [in that situation]
 
tell me who embrace your shoulders instead of me?
get washed from your eyes instead of me?
the one that took the place you had for me
under your blanket,
under the blanket, instead of me
[she is] keeping your fears to herself
drink your silences
[the one] that revenged the loss of me in your heart
mine and yours
who is that took
[the] chance we will maybe love each other
that is here instead of me.
 
yesterday you walked hugged along the whole street
practicing now how to love
between cheek to the eyes hand palms stroke(gently)
maybe you were a happy moment
and it is nice when it's possible
I remember how I was
 
Tell me who...
 
and who herd your wolves instead of me?
a doctor to your suffering instead of me
under your blanket,
under our blanket,
who removing the two of us from your heart
every wound we created
for you she is almost like me in your heart
mine and yours
who is that took
[the] chance we will maybe love each other
that is here instead of me.
 

Perfect

You want to hear that same song
Go back to that safe place
Thunders are a scary thing
And being scared is dangerous
So you put numbers together in your head
Like the Rain People that count the drops
Only your eyes never get wet
 
And while everybody else go with the flow
You don't go at all
How can they not see how glowing you are
Like the stars above
 
You're perfect, you're perfect
Just the way you are
You're perfect, perfect
It's just this world, you see,
It can be a bit messed up sometimes
 
And sometimes when you're angry
And it's not even clear why
I want to save you
Explain to you that it's not your fault
So I sing that same song again
Repeat that very same chorus
It sounds different to me every single time
 
And while everybody else dance together
You dance aside all alone
How can they not see that you're good this way
You don't need anyone
 
You're perfect, you're perfect
Just the way you are
You're perfect, perfect
It's just this world, you see,
It can be a bit messed up sometimes.
 
You're perfect, you're perfect
Just like that, with that strange gaze
You're perfect, perfect
With those two dimples of laughter
And that mouth that never replies
 
But I,
I can always hear
Even when you're over there
I am here.
 

The First Day

This'll be the first day
Of the rest of my life
I'll take you to the beach on my heavy motorbike
With an irrational love
We'll enjoy too much
Like kids who are unafraid to find or to lose.
 
Just when the night is the blackest
Just when no one believes in light anymore
Just when the wind would slap the crown of my head
When the tears would roll down from my eyes
Like rocks from a mountaintop,
Tomorrow would come.
 
And it'll be the first day
Of the rest of my life
Light will shine for the first time, time will open up its gates
And fresh air will enter,
And fill up my lungs
As if the whole world was just created
 
Just when the night is the blackest
Just when no one believes in light anymore
Just when the wind would slap the crown of my head
When the tears would roll down from my eyes
Like rocks from a mountaintop
The first day of the rest of my life would come
We'll laugh to stretch out all the wrinkles of pain
You'll stand behind me and in front of me and on both sides of me
And inside of me and you'll crush my heart.
 
Just when the night is the blackest
Just when no one believes in light anymore
Just when the wind would slap the crown of my head
When the tears would roll down from my eyes
Like rocks from a mountaintop, tomorrow would come.
