lyrics

אין נביא בעירו

הרחתי את הסימנים
הפקתי את הלקחים
הבאתי את הביכורים
אבל מי שאל אותי

שפכתי את הלב בשיר
הפכתי שולחנות אוויר
לקחתי שם סיכון אדיר
אבל מי שאל אותי

כי אין נביא אין נביא
אין נביא בעירו

סחטתי את הלימונים
קיססתי את התחתונים
בלעתי את הרימונים
אבל מי שאל אותי

פשטתי את הצוואר
נפרדתי מהמחר
היה שלום עולם אכזר
אבל מי שאל אותי

I sniffed the spices
I drew the conclusions
I brought the First Fruits
But who asked me?

I poured out my heart in song
I overturned tables of air
I took a tremendous risk there
But who asked me?

Because there is no prophet
No prophet
No prophet
In his own hometown (x2)

I squeezed the lemons
I ground the nether regions
I swallowed the grenadine
But who asked me?

I stuck out my neck
I said farewell to tomorrow
Goodbye, cruel world
But who asked me?

Because there is no prophet...
