באתי לחלום [Bati Lachlom] [English translation]

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

I feel like disconnecting, I don't know why

They just told you about me

But I didn't come to play,

I want everything now, I can't wait,

Maybe it feels like my clock is ticking.

So talk to me about how to build a building that doesn't collapse,

With strong foundations, free of worries,

Lately all I do is clean,

Almost all of this year I've been asking questions.

How is everything allowed but still no one moves freely,

How do you build morality in a nation with corrupted leadership

How can you move forward without admitting its a mistake

How do you eat kosher these days and with which rabbanut.

How do polititians still close their eyes

And how are there people who still applaud that

And why do I rant so much on Friday afternoon

For God's sake, how did I not notice I'm already 32.

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

It's time to change and I have a Neverending list

Of things committed to do,

And the soul cries when you tall to it less

Mine protests, goes out to the streets.

It waits for me to notice, so it goes and comes back,

Screams loudly so I'll hear what it's saying,

Maybe so I don't forget I'll tie a ribbon around it,

And when it comes back I'll ask it if all this just a dream.

Who am I and what flows in my blood,

Have I chosen or have they chosen for me

And how have I been stuck in this body for years

And still don't know myself, if I'm not stupid then who is.

How do I feel, if not me then who will ask that

Who will explain to me what scares me, what I fear from

And what happened to my heart, since it fell out doesn't beat

It's worth checking if it still works or if it's broken.

Because I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

Because I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.

I came to dream,

But the most important matter to me now is how

I can get through the day.
