SHLOSHA YAMIM (Yehuda Poliker)
Mistovev sha’ot baregel be New York,

Mistakel al eze ktovet

Halavan hu lavan vehashachor hu shachor
Ani yode’a yesh kisharon

Rachok rachok betoch shderot shel chofesh

THREE DAYS
Walking around New York for hours,
I don’t believe
Creatures from different races,
religions and kinds
I am filled with adrenaline,
falling in love with every tall building
Looking at a post on the wall,
written by a drunk
White is white, black is black
I know, there is a talent
we will never break
We will forget where we came from
for three days
From all we feared there all our lives
Three days is a minute in another planet
Don’t get blinded by it, don’t get dizzy,
I say, and then I forget
Three days, as if we were there all the time
No one will separate us
Far away in boulevards of freedom
Nothing will hurt anymore,
nothing will scare us
No one will separate us
Nothing will hurt, nothing will scare us
New York, New York
In boulevards of freedom
Three days, as if we were there all the time
There are days which were wiped off,
will never be able to bring back
There is a train I missed,
but the night is still young
I land into the fifth boulevard of life
Outside is nearly minus six, but inside it is hot
Suddenly I am hungry, I love, I don’t fall asleep
Three days as if it is another place
Don’t get blinded by it, don’t get dizzy,
I say, and then I forget
Three days, as if we......
No one will separate us
Nothing will hurt, nothing will scare us
New York, New York
In boulevards of freedom
Three days, as if we were there all the time
