Here I Come
English Lyrics:
Jerusalem, a city worth an explosion
walking in the street feels like ingathering of the exils
a thousand cultures, everyone has a brother and 9 sisters
arabs in order, ultraorthodox in the study-room
and all are receving God here – at a frequency
after Jerusalem’s Teddy stadium burnt out fast
from day to day Tel Aviv sparkled more
friend left or got closer to the creator of the heavens
gray, boring, there’s no sea
thoughts about leaving
three years it took me to get the decision
I pack my belongings into the suitcase
from the village to the city in the direction of descending
Tel Aviv – here I come
I’m arriving – here I come
I came to sweat – here I come
because you’re the only one I swear
(x2)
I went in the direction of the shore’s plain
what a shock I’m stand to steal
and now that I’m in Tel Aviv finally
I mix in with the scenery all is fresh and it’s good
whoa, how many breasts, my eyes got burnt
after two years of Sodom and Gamora
I don’t recognize myself in the mirror
I know, I mix, I fuse, I embrace with
all the owners of the clubs
Now that I’m in, I know that it doesn’t sparkle
how much noise, how much soot, give me grass give me a tree
the whole day is wasted on “shalom” – “shalom”
the rent wealth dampness and craziness
and then the token fell,
I had paraside in my hands
thoughts about leaving
three years it took me to get the decision
I pack my belongings into the suitcase
from the city to the village in the direction
Jerusalem – here I come
I’m returning to you – here I come
to your walls – here I come
because you’re the only one I swear
(x2)
I returned to Jerusalem, here the chumu is good that’s known
give me calm, quiet, so no yawn will do damage,
when was the last time I put a note in The Wall,
invested in some food,
made new friends,
this city gives me back the control over life
we’ll mix with myself instead of mixing water
we’ll breathe some moutain air clear as wine
let’s go betar, let’s go life in the village!
the main thing is to be happy
Here I come…
Tel Aviv – here I come
I’m arriving – here I come
I came to sweat – here I come
because you’re the only one I swear
