ERETZ CHADASHAH
Geshem kvar yored vezeh choref
Tel Aviv chasumah vegam Cheifa.
Shev yeled shev,
ani omer lecha shev
ushneinu nos'im bedarchei afar.
Mabit miba'ad laz'gugit,
yesh lanu eretz lamah od achat,
bachutz sh'kiah shel yom sheni,
ve'aravim mitpalelim

Chaver lemin masa kaze bachoref

A NEW LAND
It is raining, it is winter
Tel Aviv is blocked, so is Haifa
Sit down kid
I tell you, sit down
We both are traveling in dirt roads
Looking through the glass window
We have a country, why another one?
Outside the sunset of a Monday
And the arabs are praying,
it is some kind of holiday
A friend who joined me on the trip
Is looking at me
His legs are short
but his head is smart
We both are running away,
everything moves here, he says
You are a dad and also a human being
Looking through the glass window
His eyes are sensative, yes, yes
Strange how the strang enemy
Looks to him human and scared
I have a wife, it is your mum
Let's travel, let's travel,
maybe tomorrow we'll get there
If we don't slow down,
we will not look, will not notice the details
We will not reach a new country
Two sheep get in the middle of the road
We will not run them over,
we don't run over
Sit, kid, sit
I tell you sit
A lot of milk doesn't mean miracles
I pull out a pocket camera
Thinking paradise is spot on
Denys it is cold
I take photos to remember what happened
I read in the paper of a 100 year-old woman
Who did good deeds all her life
Sit, kid, sit
I tell you sit
Not all people were born bad
Long time ago,
she passed away pretty long ago
Your father will die one day too
No, paradise doesn't exist
May be another country exists
I have a wife.....
It is raining, it is winter
It was all pink (good)once
Sit, kid, sit
why do you cling on
Something squeaks in the memory.
Looking through the signs
You have eyes so you can look
You ask me if
If they will let us in at all
Friends on such a trip in the winter,
I miss it
My father is asleep, old, closing himself in
I went with him
through the eyes I don't have any more
Now my child walks with me
Looking through the glass door
We have a country, why another one?
Outside the sunset of a Monday
Inside I and him as one
I have a wife.....
