lyrics

If you cut the waves with scissors
you will find only water
and the remains of a Phoenician ship
on which I once saw several slaves.
The whip on my back
had the shape of your hands
and your voice, ordering me to row
was as sharp as the ax that carved the oars.
I wanted love to wave like a skull
on a black flag
like on a pirate ship,
something snatched, torn from the flesh.

אם תגזרי במספרים את גלי הים
תגלי רק מים
ושרידי ספינה פינקית
שפעם ראיתי בה עבדים רבים
השוט שהצליף בגבי
היה בצורה ידיך
וקולך שפקד: חתור חתור
היה חד כברזל שחטב את המשוטים
רציתי אז שהאהבה תתנופף לה
כגולגולת על דגל שחור
כמו בספינה פיראטית
משהו חטוף, משהו שנתלש מן הגוף
