Lior Yeini - Come to Eilat

In loving memory of Lior Yeini, who passed away earlier this week at age 84. A timeless classic.

Let's escape the asphalt

And from the wrinkled cities

Let's escape to the quiet lagoons

Come to Eilat, to Eilat

In the capital of the sun

With freckles all over

In front of the skies, we'll grab a nap

And the wind that will settle

Will allow us to not think

About a thing

Eyes closed

We'll escape as a pair

To the water to the coral gardens

Between blue and green

We'll throw away the swimsuits

We'll toss them into the waves

With wild hair

Blown by the wind

I'm lying around like a lizard

Like a dolphin who escaped 

From the depths of the Gulf of Eilat

Like a surprise

Give me just two months

On the skis

And I won't trip on the waves of the water

Between green and blue

Man I can

I can live forever

Let's escape the asphalt

Let's discover 

The wondrous places

And the magic in the bays

Like Colombus so suddenly

In a light sailboat

If you came this time

You'll again return to Eilat

Because the city is enchanted

And the hiding place is under a spell

And you will arrive at it

You will arrive at it younger

Let's escape the asphalt
