Al pi tnu'at harakavot

According to the movement of the trains
you'll be arriving soon
According to the glasses
the sun is in my eyes

According to the amount of policemen
a bomb will explode at any moment
According to the smiles of the soldiers
the train is about to arrive.

According to the movement of the world
everything is turning
According to the clouds
the rain will be coming soon

According to the movement of the legs
we'll soon escape from here
According to the movement of the watches
Time won't stand still

According to what I know
it's the train of the night
You're coming for two days
and I am not yet calm.

According to what I know
I bought you a ring
And I offer myself - if you're clever
you'll tell me 'yes'.

Chorus:
Tell me yes, tell me no,
But tell me something here!
According to the movement of the trains
I will soon - start to run towards - the train.

According to history
There will never be eternity here
According to the newspaper sellers
there's no peace, just promises.

According to the amount of roughnecks
soon murder will occur here
According to the bulletin boards
Maybe there'll be a tomorrow.

According to the sages
soon Moshiach will come
According to daylight savings time,
the nights are already terribly hot.

According to the amount of aaa
soon a meeting will occur
According to the amount of kisses
we'll never be separated.
