Zohar Argov - Nakhon LeHayom

Everyday i rip the paper off the calendar
Sunday is sad
In Monday i feel alright
And Tuesday is a new day

ill lay on me back
Flip on my stomach
And my mind runs
I work very hard
Enslaved by the door post
While my mind is ticking

Everyday i turn from solid to dust
Sunday is black
In Monday i shine
And Tuesday is a new planet

Everyday i wait for the end
In Sunday its almost there
In Monday you're gone
And in Tuesday I'm all alone

Idan Riechel - Sad Roses

Over there in the mountain above our village
There is a garden of roses
Tomorrow I'll wake up as the birds tweet
Bring my loved one a flower from that red field
For he knows that we are together forever more

Descending from the mountain to the village
With roses weaved in my hair
I noticed that my loved one is not home
And silence lies between the halls.
Over there by the river next to our village
My loved one failed to show at nightfall
Found himself another love
And my heart broke.

Oh god, please make him come here
Night and Day i wait.
My strengths vanish while days are passing by
Sad roses, and he's not home
No, god, please make him come here
Night and day i wait
My strengths vanish while days are passing by
Sad roses
He's not home

Nathan Yonatan - Kemo Balada

If an aching bouquet of thorns
Is what you desire
Then i'll go to the desert
And learn there how to get sore
If you are into poems
But only the ones that in stone are written
Than i'd live between the capes
And on the rocks i'll compose

And then when we'll cover ourselves
With the sand in the dark
The book of Deuteronomy
Will grimly cover itself
Talk to me in words
That are better than cry and happiness
I Assume he loved me,
That man

Yehonatan Geffen - The Little Prince

I met him in the heart of the desert
A sunset's beauty to a sad heart
I drew him a tree and a sheep on a paper
And he promised me that he'll be back

The little prince from company 2
Won't see any sheep eating flowers
And all of his roses are nothing but thorns
His little heart froze like a glacier

If you ever come by here
Just know that here he quietly descended
A crashing sound that has never been heard
Because of the soft sand

And in case of a boy appearing over there
Whose face are worn, with a hair of gold
Just know that it is him, reach out your hand
And wipe the desert dust off his eyes

After that, please do me a favor
Please write quickly to all of out mothers
So they'll get a little relief, and that their sorrow wont grow
That the little prince came back to us

I met him in the heart of the desert

Nathan Yonatan - Shores

Nathan Yonatan - Hofim

Shores, they are often yearning for a creek
I saw a shore once
That a creek abandoned
With a broken heart of sand and stone
And the man, he can often be
Left stranded without his strengths
Just like the shore

The shells
Just like the shores, just like the wind
The shells, can be sometimes the yearning
For a home that we always loved
Who have existed, and the sea
Reads his poems over there, all alone
In between the shells of a mans heart, his youth sings to him

Hava Alberstien - Rikma Enoshit

Hava Alberstien - Human Tissue

When i'll die, something from me
Will die within you.

When you'll die, something from you within me
Will die along with you

Because all of us, yes, all of us
All of us are just a living human tissue
And if one of us,
Fades away
Something from us dies along
And something else, stays within him

If we only knew, how to calm
The hatred, if only we knew how

If we only knew how to silence our rage
To say we are sorry, though we already got offended
If we only knew how to begin fresh from the start

Moosh Ben-Ari - Massa O'Matan

Moosh Ben-Ari - Negotiation

Drinking another cup of coffee
While you're sitting right next to me
And how it rises up from beneath
I have to know exactly what you are thinking
And how it is that several times at night
We fall to the great emptiness of fear
And how it is so much of a temptation
To always end everything that is unified

Because sometimes the negotiation
Takes us down low
And it happens between me and her
And the soul just says to get out and rise
While between us something is torn apart

The morning unveils itself
And your body becomes further away
Inside it aches badly
And the only will is to leave
These are the times that won't let go
And this fire is the one that fades
And the time is only healing
Whether we stay or leave

Meir Ariel - Mode Ani

Meir Ariel - I'm Grateful

I'm Grateful
Before you
For all your truth and grace
and the good, and the bad, and the good
That you've done with me and with my household
And with my relatives, friends and fellow citizens
And with the whole world and its people
That you've created

Slowly, and silently
Walking mincingly
Is our future to come
And you, are smiling, to me from your sleep
Things will get better, much better, you'll see
It stars early in the morning
And you, are laughing
To me, From your sleep.

(excrepts from) Synergia - Hom Yooli-Ogust

Synergia - Heat of July-August

Whatever i remember, i write down
Two John Does, hovering above the stretchers
Lately, I Recall some pictures from over there
In my fragile memory of today
A heavy screen of wars and hallucinations

Whatever i remember, i write down
Catching a ride to Haifa, entering the discotheque
Whores on the fence, my body burns like a demon
Going to dance while dead soldiers remain in my heart
Write it down, i write - i write.

Berry Saharof - Yom Huledet

Berry Saharof - Birthday

Today's a birthday
Look, there's a secret, he might be young or old
Slice the bread
Touch a bit of perfection
It's almost midnight
I thought I'd better go to sleep
But something is stuck
Stuck deeply in my throat

Its true and you know it
You're so very gourges
Before you run away, put your fears aside and stay
Take me, just the way i am

Today's a birthday
I thought about almost everything
I ordered to my room
A blue sky with some stars in it
