עדיין ילד [Adayin Yeled] [English translation]

In the end you're still a child

your soul doesn't want to grow up

maybe all the things she says

about your nonsense

about the fears and the years

that you guarded, heartbeats inside

you were excited, being shy1,

the tears that you shared only with G-d

maybe it's a bit right

come and wake up for a minute

Look around you, everything is beautiful

mom waits for you

come, eat, drink coffee

years, years pass quickly

stop to see it

everyone is forever children

whether you like it or not

in the end you're still a child

in your dreams you want to explode

like all the things that she says about your nonsense

about the fears and the years

that you guarded,

melodies inside

you turned around, searched for noises

the tears that you shared only with G-d

maybe she's a bit right

and it's okay

come and wake up for a minute

Look around you, everything is beautiful

mom waits for you

come, eat, drink coffee

years, years pass quickly

stop to see it

everyone is forever children

whether you like it or not

In the end you're still a child

your soul doesn't want to grow up
