ERETZ HATZABAR
Eretz veshayim yerek umidbar
Leyad migdal shel mayim ben shviley afar

Chorus:
Hayta o lo hayta ani od chai ita
Tachziru li ota kmo shehi hayta

Chalav betoch bakbuk kol boker karagil

LAND OF THE PRICKLY PEAR
Land, sky, green and desert,
a water tower among dust roads
That's where I was born
that's where my heart broke
On the day that they took away from me
the land of the Prickly Pear.
Chorus:
Was it that way or not - I still live with her,
Bring her back to me the way she was.
Was it that way or not - I still live with her.
Give her back to me, the land of the Prickly Pear.
A khaki 'kova-tembel' hat, pony tail and a hair curl,
a sweet-sour cordial,
a sole electricity pole
A movie and a falafel was only a few cents
Milk was sold in bottles and delivered every morning.
Chorus:
Was it that way or not
Pita bread and a kite over the trees,
The boy picks up the girl on Friday evening,
We had our special games we played,
we were called special nicknames.
Chorus:
Was it that way or not .....
