Friday evening

from five till six

and almost everyone

is renewed once again.

On all seven days

the showers sang,

the waters are once again hot in the pipes.

Chorus:

A part in the middle, a part on the side,

everyone is showered.

What cleanliness and order

what a beautiful parade.

Water and soap,

The electricity meter rushes

and no calculations are made

concerning the bill.

Faces perfumed,

A nice Shabbat shirt

and a pair of underclothes

to change.

 

A part in the middle, a part on the side...

A dreamy moment

for body and soul,

Everyone says, "Shalom"

and "How are you"?

Even a creaky body,

suddenly feels refreshed,

And everyone whistles

the song of a clean nation.

 

A part in the middle, a part on the side...
