UNOFFICIAL MIZRACH VIDEO

English Translation of: Track 8- "Yeled Katan" from the "Leap of Faith" Album

There are turbulent winds outside again.
Black clouds are again rising.
And the sirens cry slices the heart.
And heavy rain has been descending for a week already.

From above the clouds surely the sun shines.
But she doesn't see the day.
These harsh sights hide the light.
It's a little bit hard for me to be happy today.

And I am like a small child.
Standing and asking: Until when?
Until when, until when, Master of the world?
Master of the world, until when?

Even answers are sometimes questions.
Perhaps [Hashem is] hiding [His] face.
[But] give me a little. Give me a sign that lights up.
[For] my way is dark sometimes.

But, from above the clouds surely the sun shines.
But she doesn't see the day.
These harsh sights hide the light.
It's a little bit hard, a little bit hard for me to be happy today.

And I am like a small child.
Standing and asking: Until when?
Until when, until when, Master of the world?
Master of the world, until when?

English Translation of Track 6- "Hang up the Phone" from the "Leap of Faith" album

English

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

The family gets dizzy
The father seems so busy
My phone is going crazy
My hands are numb and freezy
The gadgets make us lazy
We gotta take it easy

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

I didn't see you in ages
It seems to me contagious
You going through some stages
The phone makes you outrageous
It locks you up in cages
Unlike our sages

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening and driving
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beeping

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Hang up the phone! Hang up the phone!

Yiddish
Oi- What's my father missing
He doesn't have a computer
Today, every little whistle-blower (Every Kid)
In new toys (gadgets) he bathes

There's no more peace
How do we get rid of it
Oy vey- Gevalt, (Yiddish expression similiar to "Oh goodness")
Hang up the phone already

English
I'm going to a wedding
The entire hall is squawking
Everyone is phoning
To the wall I'm talking
My friend is with his bluetooth
We're together we are walking
Hey, hello please, Can you hang up that, That phone!!!

All the hocus-pocus
Forever tries to choke us
It's making such a ruckus
We can barely focus

Davening, Davening and driving,
Eating, working, sleeping
Why keep on replying
To all the rings and beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep

Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone
Uh Uh Uh, can you hang up the phone

Lay lay lay...

Instead of searching Google
I'm busy making Kugel
Instead of checking Email
I lift my hands to Himmel (the sky) [Yiddish]

Yiddish
I don't need this for this book
I only use an Aleph-Beis book
Lay, lay, lay, lay,
I have a Kosher telephone

Ipod, iphone, ipad
Aii, why does it come into my house/Shul
I still remember when an "I" [an egg] ("I" means egg in Yiddish) only meant egg with onion
I still remember when Blackberries
Didn't used to grow in Manhattan
And only those who had a headache
Would make use of tablets

Enough already with the phone (mixture of English and Yiddish)
Enough already with the phone (Yiddish)

Can you hang up the phone
Can you hang up the phone.............

English Translation of “Dimyonis- Fantasies”- Track 7 of Lipa B’Derech

Here is a part of an interview where Lipa explains a little about this song:



Here is the English translation:

A person who ponders too much:

When I arrive they stop talking
Whenever they can they try to put me down
I don’t know why nobody can tolerate me
Angry at me, I don’t know why
I see how he’s speaking and making facial expressions (and twisting his nose)
Out of the whole group they always exclude me
From outside he’s good- and from inside he’s bitter
A lot of bad he does to me- why?
A beautiful Simcha- Invitations are sent
Only me they didn’t invite- why?
He spends time with everyone- he goes out of his way to help them
But only me he lets hang- why?
He finds liars (against me)- he riles everyone up (against me)
He gets under my skin- why?

Lipa:

Don’t think, don’t imagine
Don’t ponder, don’t whine
Because every minute of speculation
Can drive you crazy
It doesn’t pay to fantasize
A person analyzes- and a story develops
And for someone else it causes tears
Hebrew: No bears and no forest
Yiddish: No forest and no bears
(This is an expression that is used when someone for example creates a fictitious story “There were bears and a forest”. We then tell him “There was no bears and no forest—It’s bologna what you’re saying”)

The house owner takes a walk in his garden
In his hand is a machine, he’s cutting the grass
His neighbor from the window sees this grass cutter
He looks and thinks and a light bulb goes on (in his head)
I’ll borrow it from him, I could surely use it
He’s already baking a story, a fantasy he’s already kneading
My grass is growing, he sees it
His grass cutter I’m asking for
He does nothing- for me
It’s always a hardship for him- to do favors warmly
Now I’m begging to have some compassion
He is always borrowing from me- he doesn’t pay his debt
Such an ingrate (Kofay Toiva)- is he
(He says) not to worry (when it comes to him paying his debts)- I can wait till tomorrow
He will not lend it to me- I’m thinking
He goes over there to find his neighbor
The neighbor opens the door
The friend starts yelling and screaming there
The neighbor looks, am I perhaps dreaming
He just wants to ask him what’s going on
The friend continues screaming and says with firmness:
“Let my grass grow until the sky I still won’t need your grass cutter ok”?!......
The neighbor looks (at him) completely confused
What does he want from me, I just don’t understand
He asks this friend questioningly
You’re hallucinating, you didn’t even ask
You’re not asking me for anything and yet you’re angry
I’ll lend it to you gladly so what is your gripe

The friend responds:

I’m sorry I didn’t mean it
Please don’t be upset
I got angry, I myself don’t know- why

Lipa:

You’re wasting your time- you fantasize for no reason
I will be realistic- why?
Because meaningless fantasies- do not have interpretations
Save your sanity
Fantasies, false ideas
Brings you only pain and embarrassment
When people think (too much into things)- It brings on arguments (machlokes)
And you make enemies- like this
Straighten your mind- don’t fantasize
You will enhance your life- like this
Think with intelligence- without false illusions
It’s all empty illusions
Let go of all your dreams already
And see that it’s all fantasies……
