Chess - Lyrics (translated)
Word: Hanoch Levin
Music: Alex Kagan
Translation: Zev Shanken

O where has my boy gone? My good boy, where’d he go?
A pawn that’s black is striking a white foe.
My father won’t return. My father won’t be back.
A pawn that’s white destroys a pawn that’s black.
Crying in the rooms and silence on the green,
The king is playing with the queen.

My boy won’t rise again. He sleeps. He will not grow.
A pawn that’s black is striking a white foe.
My father is in darkness, darkness without slack
A pawn that’s white destroys a pawn that’s black.
Crying in the rooms and silence on the green,
The king is playing with the queen.

My boy once at my breast is now a cloud of snow.
A pawn that’s black is striking a white foe.
My father’s tender heart is now a frozen sack.
A pawn that’s white destroys a pawn that’s black .
Crying in the rooms and silence on the green,
The king is playing with the queen.

O where has my boy gone? My good boy, where’d he go?
All soldiers black all soldiers white fall low.
My father won’t return. My father won’t be back.
There are no pawns all white and none all black.
Crying in the rooms and silence on the green,
On empty chessboards only king and queen.
