שמעון השכן [Shimon HaShachen] [English translation]

And the mailbox is overflowing

All the letters slide out to the floor

I'll hop over it as to not make it dirty

And leave.

The sun was hot and it melted a little

And once again I must go to the auto repair shop

Also the coffee got spilled.

Now it's all sticky,

This skirt is too short and it bugs me.

Shimon the neighbor passed away three days ago

Right at the entrance of the hospital

They even put a sign on his door.

For five years, he said this quick "Hello",

I was afraid of you while barely knowing you

Strange, it's dark in apartment number 1.

I wish the traffic light will change from red already

My whole day was nearly spent because of this

Also sadness suddenly came and didn't want to go away

No, this isn't good

How could we not leave a check at the wedding

Once again I call her but she's not available

She's probably sleeping next to him in bed,

She deserves him and her deserves

Her.

Three days ago

Right at the entrance of the hospital

For five years, he said this quick "Hello",

I was afraid of you while barely knowing you

Strange, it's dark in apartment number 1.

They say he wasn't quite alright

He took medications just to leave his room

He was too afraid to say anything

He had only one lady friend

Perhaps.
