Kael Su, Kael Ba

The story

An old man once told me that both feet are the same foot. One says it's over, one says it starts. Goodbye is not behind you, and hello is not ahead. They are standing where you stand. Every door you leave through is the door you arrive by.

Lyrics

Kael su. Kael ba.
Tova rim, tova rim, tova.
Su el maren, ba el maren.
The leaving is the door. The arriving is the door.

Eshkol dai, eshkol dai.
The fruit remembers the tree it fell from.
Nim su hares, nim ba salam.
You carry peace when you carry the cut.

Kael su, kael ba.
One foot says it's over.
One foot says it starts.
The old man says: both feet are the same foot.

Tschagg.
The sound the scissors made.
Tom.
The sound the heart made when it landed.
Pai.
The sound the paper made when it remembered.
U.
The sound you make when you understand.

Kael su. Kael ba.
Goodbye is not behind you.
Hello is not ahead.
They are standing where you're standing.
They have always been.

Nim hares.
Carry the peace.
Nim salam.
It was always the same word.
