lyrics
***
illness, illness
remain healthy, stay strong,
here and there constantly the same song
I know
illness, illness
on the TV all the time
remain like a stone, be free
virus, virus
punches my face
it’s my true created golem today
virus, virus
bends my inner peace
be like a rock, remain free
hatred, hatred -
your weakest weapon
aims today at my heart’s region
hatred, hatred
all the time on TV
be like a stone, remain free
hatred, fear -
your beloved technique
constantly nasty, so bitter again
fear, hatred -
I’m their unbeliever
I pass them by
healthy remain
hatred, hatred
punches my face
aims at my body fully today
virus, virus
all the time on TV
be like a stone, remain free
choroba, choroba
bądź zdrowy, bądź silna
wiem, tu i tam w kółko ta sama piosenka
choroba, choroba
w telewizji cały czas
pozostań wolny, bądź jak głaz
wirus, wirus
daje mi w twarz
jest dziś jak mój golem
prawdziwy, stworzony
wirus, wirus
zakrzywia mój wewnętrzny spokój
bądź wolna, pozostań jak głaz
nienawiść, nienawiść
Twoja najsłabsza broń
celuje dziś w mojego serca ląd
nienawiść, nienawiść
w telewizji cały czas, ciągle
bądź jak kamień, pozostań wolny

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
