נשימה [Neshima] [English translation]

At last

The ceiling is spinning

Arena (lights) flashing

That is the way it is with me

Just enough strength left to leave

The dust in the eyes

Choking all the while

That is the way it is with me

Just till the fear is consumed

Gasping for air

You are in my seat now: What?

What am I asking for?

Just to go away

How I fell with a boom

No, I’m feeling almost nothing

Only hurt; no calm

Then the desire begins

Telling me to get up

Again

I am not going

And the glass is empty

How much I want

To pour out my heart

And perhaps there are hands

Different and yet

It’s just that he knows me

Every shrill in all those darkened rooms

Gasping for air

You are in my seat now: What?

What am I asking for?

Just to go away

How I fell with a boom

No, I’m feeling almost nothing

Only hurt; no calm

Then the desire begins

Telling me to get up

Gasping for air

You are in my seat now: What?

What am I asking for?

Just to go away

How I fell with a boom

No, I’m feeling almost nothing

Only hurt; no calm

Then the desire begins

Telling me to get up
