Netanela - Be my friend, be my brother


In loving memory of Yoram Taharlev, whose voice shaped our soundtrack.
Netanela from the IAF band performed this song shortly after the Yom Kippur War. 

Excellent translation by Thomas222.

At the place where I'm going to 
There were many before me
They left a trail, left a tree,
Left a stone at my feet.
And what will I leave behind
Will I leave anything?
I can't see my own steps
And who will see them tomorrow?

Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand when I'll call out
Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand at times of trouble
I am your brother, don't forget it
Be my friend, be my brother

At the place where I'm going to
There were women, there were men
And there was great love
Will I find it?
They left me no mark
No sighs and no flowers
They left me nothing
But brothers and friends

Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand when I'll call out
Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand at times of trouble
I am your brother, don't forget it
Be my friend, be my brother

At the place where I'm going to
I'm careful not to break
I'm careful not to step
I'm careful not to remember
And I'm good when you're with me
And so are you and so are you
It's here to stay after I'm gone
The friendship that once was.

Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand when I'll call out
Be my friend, be my brother
Lend me a hand at times of trouble
I am your brother, don't forget it
Be my friend, be my brother
