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
