Roy Rieck - A ballad of blind love or vanity

Fabrizio De André (1940-1999) was a beloved Italian singer-songwriter but unfortunately most Israelis have never heard of him. Roy Rieck (of Acollective) hopes to change that with his labor of love, an album featuring ten of De André's songs translated into Hebrew. It's been a while since I've wanted to dance to such a dark yet delightful song! Check out the original over here.

An honest man, a quite romantic man
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
He fell desperately in love
With a woman born without emotions

She told him tomorrow bring with you
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
She told him tomorrow bring with you
Your mother's heart for my dogs

He immediately left and murdered his mother
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
He ripped her heart from her chest
He came back excited to his love

The heart isn't enough, the heart isn't enough
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
It's not enough pain
She wanted more proof that he loves her

She told him sweetie if you want me
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
She told him sweetie if you want me
Cut your veins and let them bleed

He cut his veins and also the flesh
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
And when his blood began to flow
Like a madman he came back to her

She said with full-throat laughter
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
She said with full-throat laughter
Death is the final test

While his blood was still dripping
The cold vanity is celebrating
The color of the blood has already changed
A man died from blind love

Outside there's now a pleasant wind
Tralalalalla tralallaleru
But she goes out of her mind
When she sees him happy and dead

Happy and dead and in love
She has nothing left now
Without love, without anyone
Just dried blood from his wrists

EREZ ft. WhiteO - Certainly

Erykah Badu first sang the lines "The world is mine when I wake up, I don't need nobody telling me the time" 20 years ago, but they still need to be heard loud and clear today. Thank you EREZ and WhiteO for uncovering this gem while adding your own original touch.

Who gave you permission to rearrange me
Certainly not me
Who told you that it was alright to love me
Certainly not me

I was not looking for no love affair
And now you want to fix me
I was not looking for no love affair
And now you want to mold me
Was not looking for no love affair
Now you want to kiss me
Was not looking for no love affair
And now you want to control me
Hold me

You're really trying to get creative with me love
And that's alright, but
You tried to get a little tricky turned my back
And then you slipped me a mickey

The world is mine
When I wake up
I don't need nobody telling me the time

Certainly, certainly, certainly not me

Who gave you permission to rearrange me
Certainly not me
Who told you that it was alright to love me
Certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair

Certainly, certainly, certainly not me

Krokodil Popular - Sixteen

I heard this song a few weeks ago and loved it, but it didn't quite fit with my mood. Today as I was struggling to find Purim accessories in toy stores along with everyone else, I couldn't help but hum the lines: 'You're the same/a bit as everyone'. But maybe I also thought about it because Purim always takes me back to when I was Sixteen and struggling to figure out what I wanted to be.

You were sixteen
In your heart
You got lost
Just found your gods
You're the same
A bit as everyone
Do get lost
Go back to your mom

Hey, you just take
What you want
If you don't believe me
Look what came
At your door

sixteen
Stitches in your heart
You got lost
Defined by your gods
You're the same
A bit as everyone
Do get lost
Go back to your mom

Hey, you just take
What you want
If you don't believe me
Look what came
At your door
