SHISHAH
SIX

 

 

Hayinu shishah, katuv al hakir,
nish'arti echad im sofrim gam oti,
kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Zeh shehalach acharei kesef gadol,
vezeh shemalach al shloshah rechovot,
kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Echad sham mitnadned benidnot shebeganim,
hachaverim sheli hayah hayu tamid ktsat meshunim,
echad kafu'a al hagader, ki lo yad'a ligdol,
echad menukav mechadur tish'ah milimeter, oy.

Kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Shishah yaradnu le'eilat,
im lo sofrim et hahi, she'asta lanu bayad,
kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Shishah, hazman mitkavets,
bar'chovot tel aviv, yesh al shmeno od ets,
kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Echad heimer tamid al kalaf halo nachon,
hachaverim shehaya hayu li chasrei ktsat bitachon,
echad ne'elam vehashmu'ot radfu oto lechol makom,
zeh shediber beshem kulam, medaber achshav rak le'atsmo.

Kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.

Shishah, katuv al hakir,
nish'arti echad, im sofrim gam oti,
kol hachaverim shehayu li, ovrim li barosh achshav.
There were six of us, it's written on the wall,
there's only one left, including me,
all the friends that I had, are in my head now.

The one that went after big money,
and the one that reigned over three streets,
all the friends that I had, are in my head now.

The one that swings on the swings in parks,
my friends would always be a bit different,
the one frozen on the fence, for he didn't know to grow up,
the one scraped by a 9mm bullet, ouch.

All the friends that I had, are in my head now.

The six of us went down to Eilat,
not including the one that did the hand,
all the friends that I had, are in my head now.

Six, time shrinks,
in the streets of Tel Aviv, there's still wood on the oil,
all the friends that I had, are in my head now.

The one that always bet on the wrong card,
my friends would always lack a bit of confidence,
the one that disappeared and rumours chased him in every place,
the one that spoke for all, now speaks only to himself.

All the friends that I had, are in my head now.

Six, it's written on the wall,
there's only one left, including me,
all the friends that I had, are in my head now.
