Irit Dekel - Nomads



Moving
Cross the emptiness
Like nomads
Finding shelter in the wilderness
Building fires against the dark

Hoping
For the summer and the flowers
To come alive and melt our sorrow down
Bring the smile and heal the scars

Time has drawn upon my skin
And carved into my bones
This veil I'm living in
Will always be my home cos

Who
I am I am
Is not written in the stars
Is not hidden in the dust
Cos who
I am I am
Is where I travel in my heart
A journey that I start
With people who I love

So
I won't be searching in the shadows
For questions I will never know
Or words I can not trust

I'm fighting
For answers close beside me
My history will guide me
It's running in my blood

And draw upon my skin
And carved into my bones
This veil I'm living in
Will always be my home cos

Who
I am I am
Is not written in the stars
is not hidden in the dust
Cos who 
I am I am
Is where I travel in my heart
A journey that I start
With people who I love

Eden Hason - Kaha Kol Yom



You're evacuating the area again
How far you go
When you're angry
There is no going back
I touched and I drove
Let's just not go back to this

Again the lights are going out and you're no longer waiting for me by the window
Empty streets, friends are taking off
Because it's already light
A moving cart, in the everyday routine
Running thoughts, standing intentions

And I don't know how to save us
For already a week you're not here, not there
It burns to think that it's over between us
Because of this, I'm ready

Like this every day, day, day
Like this to wait for us to get back 
Again again again.
Like this to wait everyday day day day
To wait for us to get back

Another sleepless night
How much I drank yesterday
Yesterday? Today? It doesn't matter
Did I eat anything at all? It doesn't matter

Hakolot Hatsafim - Perhaps the Sun is Feeling Down



Perhaps the sun is feeling down
And she has no strength to shine over me
Perhaps the sun is tired this morning
It's probably not easy for her upstairs alone

How much can you lighten
Without resting all the time?
So it happens that the sun also
Covers herself in a cloud

Perhaps the sun is feeling down
She needs some warmth as well
Perhaps the sun
Doesn't really remember
Why she's burning
Perhaps

How much can you lighten
Without resting all the time?
So it happens that the sun also
Cover herself in a cloud

Anna Zak - Go to sleep


Love it!

Someone here remembered a bit late
And it's not me
It's not for me

Something here came out a bit ugly
And it's not me
It's not for me

One less
It's nicer to go home alone
It's not complicated
Just don't send me DMs at night

Are you awake? Go to sleep!
Let's go out? In your dreams
Are you sure? By a million
I sing all day

Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see
Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see

Someone here came out a bit dirty
But not me
It's not for me

And despite everything you thought you were an angel
But not me
It's not for me

One less
It's nicer to go home alone
It's not complicated
Just don't send me DMs at night

Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see
Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see
You won't see me bummed out
You won't see, you won't see
Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see

Just don't ask for my forgiveness again
Walla, it is what it is, so good luck
Whatever happens, I'm no longer yours 
Wait, what do you mean? Do you have someone?

Are you awake? Go to sleep!
Let's go out? In your dreams
Are you sure? By a million 
I sing all day

Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see
Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see
You won't see me bummed out
You won't see, you won't see
Come and see what you missed
Come and see, come and see

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
