YONATAN SA HABAYTA

Ir gdola bli chayalim, ve'i efshar lishon
Pa'amonim metzaltzelim beboker yom rishon
Yareach kar al migdalim vechoref amiti
Ani margish pashut nifla aval ze lo beiti

Yonatan sa habayta
Kach rakevet, kach aviron
Kach matana ktana layeled
(aviron)
Yonatan lech lishon

Michael ba vesam taklit, barak nidlak bachutz
Veshalom medaber anglit, kemo shebakibutz
Vehu her'a li et hair u'maya shegadla
Ha'anashim bri'im aval hashemesh kan chola

Yonatan sa habayta...

Halachnu lemakom gadol, lishtot atem yodim
U'menagnim sham rokenrol, bechol minei tzva'im
Hachoref ba lekan mukdam, ha'or kvar lo aliz
Olai nisa lamsterdam, leroma o pariz

Yonatan sa habayta
Kach rakevet, kach aviron
Kach matana ktana layeled
Kach tarmil kach makel
Vesa leretz yisrael
(sa leretz yisrael)
Yonatan sa habayta

YONATAN GO HOME

A big city without soldiers and you can’t sleep
Bells ringing on a Sunday morning
A cold moon on buildings and a real winter
I feel great but this isn’t my home

Yonatan go home
Take a train, take a plane
Take a small gift for the kid
(airplane)
Yonatan go to sleep

Michael came and put on a record, a lightning lit outside
Shalom speaks English, like in the Kibbutz
He showed me the city and Maya who grew up
The people here are healthy but the sun is sick

Yonatan go home…

We went to a big place, to drink you know
And they play rock ‘n roll in all kinds of colors
The winter comes here early, the light is not so happy
We might go to Amsterdam, to Rome or Paris

Yonatan go home
Take a train, take a plane
Take a small gift for the kid
Take a pack back take a stick
And go to Israel
(go to Israel)
Yonatan go home

Ir gdola bli chayalim ve i'- efshar lishon
Pa'amonim metzalzelim be boker yom rishon
Yareach kar al migdalim be horef amiti
Ani margish pashut niflah aval ze lo beiti

Yonatan sa ha bayta kach rakevet kach aviron
Kach matana ktana la yeled- avrion
Yonatan lech lishon

Michael Ba ve sam taklit barak nidlak bachutz
Ve Shalom medaber anglish- kmo she ba kibbutz
Ve hu her'ah li et ha ir ve Maya she gadla
Ha anashim bri'im aval ha shemesh kan chola!

Yonata sa ha bayta...

Halachnu le makom gadol lishtot atem yodim
U'menagnim she rock and roll be'kol mine'i tzvaim
Ha choref ba le kan mukdam ha or kvar lo aliz
Ulay nisa le Amsterdam le Roma o Paris

Yonatan sa ha bayta, kach rakevet kach aviron
kach matana ktana la yeled, kach tarmil kach makel, ve sa le eretz Israel!!!

English

 

A big city, without soldiers and I cannot sleep
Bells rings Sunday morning
The moon is cold on buildings, in a real winter
I feel marvelous but this is not my home

Yonata go home, take a train take a plane
Take a small present to the boy- a plane
Yonatan go to sleep

Michael comes and puts a record, a light turns on outside
Shalom speaks English like they do on the Kibbutz
And he shows me the city and Maya who grew up
The people are healthy but the sun is sick

Yonatan go home...

We went to a big place, to drink you know
And they play rock and roll there in many colours
The winter comes early here, the light is not happy
Maybe we'll go to Amsterdam, Rome or Paris

Yonatan go home, take a train take a plane
Take a small present to the boy, take a backpack take a walking stick, and go to Israel!!!
