שיבואו עלינו [Sheyavo'u Aleinu] [English translation]

Suddenly we lied down there, stuck in our gaze,

You're in the fire, I belong more to the wind.

You said: "I have no problem with wars,

But just like everybody, I have to rest too."

Remember, we stopped there, frozen to the bones,

Sitting and waiting for the rain to stop,

Lots of follies are done in the name of our love,

When will we grow up and wean off it actually?

And when he comes, well, who if not him?

What will we tell him?

Maybe that we had enough.

And when he comes, we'll beg him,

We've been living here for years,

Waiting for mercy,

Let them come to us!

It feels so much like the proper time.

Suddenly we paniced a bit, turning back,

Everything that was lost, lost in our way,

Deep in our thoughts of what comes to us,

Instead of falling to pride, kneeling.

And when he comes, well, who if not him?

What will we tell him?

Maybe that we had enough.

And when he comes, we'll beg him,

We've been living here for years,

Waiting for mercy,

Let them come to us!

It feels so much like the proper time.

Or the fire would fall,

Or with mercy of heavens,

If we don't fall down*

We'll wait a bit longer

Let them come to us!
