אתי בן-זקן, קול

טקטס של אנטון שמאס

lyrics

I sat hoarse all night and tried
to attach names to things in my room and failed,
in everything I failed. Why fix my voice when I've stuck ashtray to shutter
Glued and shut my eyes
Flower blooms and these are not hands, child
Not even a voice

ישבתי צרוד כל הלילה וניסיתי
להדביק שמות לדברים בחדרי וטעיתי
בכלם טעיתי. למה אדביק את קולי כשמאפרה
לתריס הדבקתי וכיביתי את עיני
בפרח שיבול ואלה לא הידים ילדתי
וזה אף לא הקול
