Children Love Song

Click to see the original lyrics (Hebrew)
Money comes and money goes
the streets continue to be dirty
man builds into the distances
jammed inside skyscrapers
actors are elected in the polling places
the winners are gambling on us
we will kiss and will embrace slowly
the world will melt away in one instance
 
Because we are all here in the same boat
hoping for the best, choosing the worst
adding more oil to the bonfire
making children love song
 
The unemployed in any event we will regenerate
the street dogs also know how to talk nonsense
we will plan plenty of vacations in our head
and will buy an apartment in our dreams
the past returns complicated again
the news doesn't renew so much
we will kiss and will embrace slowly
the world will melt away in one instance
 
Because we are all here in the same boat
hoping for the best, choosing the worst
adding more oil to the bonfire
making children love song
 
Yes we are here, we don't have any choice
a cold country is not good for us
arguing when things are good
shouting when things are bad
and still loving her shape
 
Because we are all here in the same boat
hoping for the best, choosing the worst
adding more oil to the bonfire
making children love song

Hi, Moshe.
If you do not mind...
It seems to me that it would be more accurate to write these lines like this:
"We will plan a lot of vacations in our head
And we will buy an apartment in dreams"

Thank you! Always glad to have feed back. I like the 2nd like as it is because in English i am hearing the word "our" even if it is not expressed in the Hebrew

However i agree the first line is awkward!! What about:

we will plan full vacations in our head?

Better?

Thank you,
~Moshe

Update:

How about?

we will plan complete vacations in our head?

English is not my native language, of course.
But, Moshe, it seems to me that the word "מלא" can have several meanings.
For example,
אני מלא אהבה "I am full of love";
or
יש לי מלא אפשרויות "I have tons / plenty of opportunities" .
So, it seems to me that the song says something like:
We will be planning many /lots of /tons of/ plenty of vacations in our heads.

thank you Alexey! Hebrew is not my native language so you may be right of course. I will listen a few more times.

Final version (hopefully):

we will plan plenty of vacations in our head
and will buy an apartment in our dreams
