מרי לנצח [Meri Lanezah] [English translation]

I sit at the bar, all by myself,

drinking lightly, but mostly talking to myself,

I register1 all the little signs from all around me.

I step up (to him) quick, with no hesitation

he looks kinda cute, but it doesn't phase me.

I start speaking to him in a way he'll surely get:

"Oh, what lovely eyes you have, did you come here alone?

don't I look good, and I also have an apartment,

with a sea view balcony.

So he gets the hint and stands up,

he pays for us both and steps out the door;

And he has a fancy car,

and I think this time I got lucky

and I'm starting to feel my pulse

how it pulsates, makes my blood rush vigorously

and then without him seeing, I down a pill, to get over the anxiety

and in the car I'm already starting to caress his crotch

I feel him up and down, and I'm heating up

and him too.

In bed I'm doing everything just right,

and after he's done, I walk in the shower by myself.

I cry silently 'cause I know that he'll take off like everyone else

when he'll wake up beside me in the morning, he'll realize, but it will be too late for him,

that today, just like yesterday,

I'm actually a guy

I'm actually an addict

My name is forever merry.
