Ein lecha afilu ne'urim
She'lo ledaber al chaverim
Kshe'achshav atah over im Aba
Et mashber gil ha'arbaim
Azavta et beit sefer
K'shekarata betoch sefer
She'zeh lo hachaim
Az yaradta lagalim.
Hitbalbalta,
Zeh lo hagil shelcha
Az mah ata oseh baboker
K'shekulam lomdim
Hitbagarta,
Vekol kach maher
Vehem omrim
She'lo tihyeh ben sh'va esreh yoter.
Pachad'ta mibnei ha'adam
Afilu she'aba amar shehem kamocha
Hem nir'u lecha kol kach ra'im
Az barachta lashirim
Asita masa'ot
Be'olam hachalomot
Atah tihyeh zamar gadol
Ve'achar kach shuv tipol.
Hitbalbalta...

Youre not young any more
We're not even talking about friends
When you're now going through with father
The mid-life crisis (40)
You've dropped out of school
When you read in some book
That this is not life
So you went down to the waves.
You're confused
This is not your age
So what are you doing in the morning
When everybody is studying
You've matured,
And so fast,
And they're saying
you won't be seventeen again.
You were afraid of the humans
Even though father told you they are like you
They've looked to you so bad
So you ran towards the songs
You've done many travels
In the world of dreams
You will be a great singer
And after that you'll fall again
You're confused.....
