מרד הדמעות [Mered Ha Dmaot] [English translation]

And now after it has all passed

And on the door of the state the next disaster is knocking

The roots of violence are watered from a bloody funnel 1

When will we admit that the blame is on us

And the blame is on us

And the blame is on us

Values of cheap violence on the screens 2

When the pigs of ratings are fattening

It does not make us smart

They killed piece at the square 3

I saw how it was over in front of my own eyes

And it turned out that a religious man without a god

Saw too many signboards 4

And even smiled under arrest

When will you understand?

That the blame is on us

That the blame is on us

Even the president was talking nonsense

And asked for forgiveness

It's not just that the king is naked

He also looks horrible

Look in the mirror

That the blame is on us

That the blame is on us

1. Bloody funnel is literal, not as in "that bloody funnel!" but "A funnel of blood." 2. מרקע [mirka] apparently means "screen," but it's a word that's never used, usually we use "מסך [masah] = screen"

מסך מחשב [masah mahshev] = computer screen 3. Itzhak Rabin, who was Israel's prime minister was pushing for peace and was murdered at the Kings of Israel square: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Yitzhak_Rabin4. Some claim that it was the right's fault for the propaganda against the prime minister at the time and the peace process that he was leading (read about it, I don't know all the facts)
