Original lyrics
לונדון
שלום
אני נוסעת
אני לא רוצה שתלוו אותי הלאה
לא שיש לי אשליות בקשר ללונדון
לונדון לא מחכה לי
גם שם אהיה לבד
אבל בלונדון יש יותר סרטים
בלונדון יש מוסיקה טובה
בלונדון טלוויזיה מצוינת
בלונדון אנשים יותר אדיבים
כך שהייאוש נעשה יותר נוח
אתה מבין?
הייאוש נעשה יותר נוח
ואולי זה כבר לכל החיים להיות לבד
אתה מבין?
אם למות כמו כלבה
אז לפחות שהטלוויזיה תהיה טלוויזיה

לונדון London
Goodbye
I'm going away
I don't want you (pl.) to escort me further on
It's not that I have illusions about London
London isn't waiting for me
There too I'll be alone
But in London there are more films
In London there's good music
In London television's excellent
In London people are kinder
So that desperation becomes more comfortable
You see/understand?
Desperation becomes more comfortable
Maybe it's already being alone for the rest of life
You see?
If to die like a bitch
At least let television be television

You should mention that this song is actually paraphrasing a monologue from the end of playwright Hanoch Levin’s Suitcase Packers, in which all characters except one either die or leave the country. The speaker is one of the last to leave, if not the last (it’s been a while since I read it, can’t recall off the top of my head…).
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
