Translation

Tzfat


In a side street,
a small synagogue in Tzfat,
the rabbi of the town
by the prayer table
gives his sermon
about sublime matters
and the showbread
he explains to every one
how the Creator misses
the things that people bring -
the gratifications from the breads.
 
There, at the rabbi's lesson,
stands a jew at the door,
caught in the excitement.
The feeling is deep
from those challah
He didn't know much,
but suddenly he felt a desire
to please the Creator.
In his scant perception he decides
to start bringing to the Creator
the showbread from today on.
 
He conveys the whole plan, each word
to his wife:
to bake two nice challahs
every week.
On Friday, he is excited to go
to complete his goal.
He brings the challahs to the synagogue.
A heavenly fragrance.
 
With so much naivety
With so much pleasantness
he puts them into the Torah Ark
A silent invocation -
He mutters a prayer
for the Creator to accept the oblation
 
In the morning of Friday,
the synagogue servant is getting ready.
He does not procrastinate:
he washes and cleans
the synagogue in preparation of Shabbat.
And in his own home
it is the end of the world
There is no money to prepare Shabbat there.
He approaches the Torah Ark,
pleading the Creator.
And here, he cannot believe his eyes.
 
I am so shocked,
I can't believe what happens here.
I am gladdened by the Heaven,
I was sent
so nice challahs.
My prayer was accepted,
I received an answer
Now, I can go home with peace of mind.
 
And since then, every week
the heavenly fragrance.
The Jew brings challahs.
The servant takes them home.
 
Every Shabbat, the Jew looks
at the Torah Ark, he stands there with delight
as the acceptance of his oblation
The challahs fly up
His heart exults with joy
I gladdened The Creator high above
with the showbread once again.
It is going to be consumed in the Heaven!
 
The rabbi is standing not far away.
He is watching from the side.
He is not fond of how it all goes on.
He does not like the idea.
He feels very much uneasy
An end should be put to this disgrace.
 
Mister,
Hi, Mister,
don’t be fooled by this.
You don't bring any showbread to G-d
Your bread does not fly up
So then, who eats it?
Ut is the servant whom you gives the taste of life.
 
The Jew becomes speechless
totally embarrassed
But my intention was virtuous and pure.
I exerted myself
to bring the oblation
meant only to the Lord
 
Right after the Shabbat ends, a letter shows up
With clenched teeth,
the rabbi reads it.
His hands are shaking
Tears are rolling down,
the Ha’ARI Hakadosh1 writes:
As soon as it was heard in the Heaven
that you had cancelled the gratification,
your sentence was decided
it is signed and cannot be changed.
 
Because who can appreciate the great value
The Heaven has heard about this naive action
The Creator says: “I will take it,
if only you mean it, with full truth.
As an oblation, it will become desired”.
 
With so much naivety
With so much pleasantness,
Without any reservations,
Virtuous and pure.
Such holiness,
With truth and purity
It will get accepted
Because it is so beautiful!
 
With so much naivety and so much pleasantness
It will get accepted
Because it is so beautiful!

If children would rule the world





I.went for a walk today
Through friendly streets
The friendly streets of my city
Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
People are ready to judge me when I smile
When I smile, they look at me with malice
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Porncraving





It is known everywhere
The girls of Venus
The girls of Venus are infected by Venereal Diseases
In fact no one goes to the primaries/chief physicians to vote,
Anyone with problems of the urinary tract
But I am the chairman
And I don´t care about nothing
And further
I started again with HIV-love
And I don´t understand why you are upset
you have no reason
If I told you that the result is positive, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
Now I'm taking this sick word
And spread it to the whole electorate
This is a less invasive method
I will sit down in the armchair of a television talk show
And in a second I'll explain my program to you, so
Now I'm buying the TV, the love, newspapers and the Voodoo guru and I think
That this freedom is a little simple
As news, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
All the porn
All the porn
And with a sick glow on the face
Saying: 'It's crazy not to carry this cross
Everyone thinks so much of themselves
So let it be, love,
And tell me, what am I to you?
What am I to you?

Beyond (Reprise)





And we will follow our star together
We will surge like a tide
The whole world is our home
We’ll go all the way
To the beginning of all beginnings
Where our very first dock remained
From the depths as one we will rise
We will follow the star

Even though I don't tell you





If I make it to stay quiet this time
and enjoy this moment with nothing that interrupts us
If nobody's looking for us
I can stand up on you
You keep so stable when doubts come to me
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

You float on the room where you're in
And I'm trying to catch you, though you say that in every one of your lives,
you would choose me
How many mouths there are that want to eat
If they just knew what you can do when everything is over
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

Even though I don't tell you
Even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
This may end well
Even though I don't tell you
even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
this may end well
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
