Lyrics and Music: Me'ir Ariel
Translated by Noa
upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly
visit to the aviation pier,
it does me good to see a big steel bird
taking off through a transparent tear
so now i'm feeling better, less pressure on
the laundered eye, a little less to fear.
i choose a positive afternoon,
the airport's straight ahead
i tell myself on the way down there:
"could this be another addiction to dread?"
myself replies, with a glimmer in her eyes:
"we could always do push-ups instead".
terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia.
the doors guess my intentions
and slide to let me in
i take my steppin' slowly
with a ritual back-side swing,
intercontinental jive
is live and tickling
i gotta calm down in the lavatoire
i look into the mirror, a maniac looks back
terminal's a chick like all chicks are
i know at least a dozen girls like that
she's standing there, with her short cropped hair,
like something suspicious aboard swissair
a real bomb-shell,
her earring hook,
the security guard gives her penetrating look.
terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia.
i gotta find a flight, but i don't know how!
rome through zurich is leaving about now
polite pager lady telling me it's time
deep inside i've made up my mind
polite pager is getting uptight
i gotta go upstairs and see my flight!
inside, my passion's burning bright!
she's running now, she's flying high
taking off into the blood-red sky
reflected in this tearful joker's eyes
terminal, je t'aime, i love you terminal, bella mia.
it's all a joke, i say to me
then suddenly i hear the boom!
explosion tears the sky apart
a panicked flurry fills the room
and so i turn and take a bow
i think i'm feeling better now.
upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly
visit to the aviation pier,
it really does me good to see a big steel bird
take off through a transparent tear,
after that the pressure's not so bad
there's so much less to fear

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
