Kalbin Chatzifin (brazen dogs)
Brazen dogs surround Your Jerusalem;
nothing I do scares them away
No shouts, no stones, no bullets;
I can wave my arms forever
I can wave the flag forever too, but to no avail
I have given them from what is mine too long
hey have learned not to be scared of me
They have learned not to respect me
How can I respect myself after doing this?
They are like bears that visit my campsite
And now that I have fed the bears, they will not leave
They hop like crows with bloody twigs in their beaks
Which they use to make their nests around the ruins of Your Jerusalem
The chicks are born in white eggs, but their feathers become reddened with age
So dark red it looks black
“They have learned not to be scared of Me.”
“They have learned not to respect Me.”
What can I do now?
The morning has come, I must davin Shacharit
Let me prepare a meal for You so that I can eat in Your House
You are always right
