Miri Mesika - King

This song has been around since the beginning of summer, but it won't leave the radio charts and quite understandably. It always reminds me of riding a bicycle in Tel Aviv at night during the summer- being so happy to catch a cool breeze from the sea. But I guess it could fit with being in any foreign city away from home. I don't like all of Mesika's songs- sometimes she's a bit too dramatic for me but this song really isn't too much and her voice sounds great. Actually, I think it's one of her best since "Nobody" (אף אחת) which is a perfect winter song.

Two weeks in a foreign city
Living in a half-rented apartment
Living from everything that comes to hand

Eating from Tupperware
Mother said: "take more, take more"
But you can't take any more

How beautiful people on buildings look to you larger than life
Forever young
Always happy...

Hands in the air, flying above the city
Come and be a king for the night
Wind in the face how good it is for you inside
You'll see
There's nothing holy left in this world

Two weeks in a foreign city
It's sad and it's not terrible
Everybody here lives off of loneliness

Happiness is available in two minutes
And emptiness in all kinds of languages
Waiting for a chance

How beautiful people on buildings look to you larger than life
Forever young
Always happy...

Hands in the air, flying above the city
Come be a king tonight
Wind in the face how good it is for you inside
You'll see
There's nothing holy left in this world
