Narkis - Al Ta'azov (Don't Leave)
How did I go after Him in the forgotten desert
How did my feet took me
Carried me to a place I didn't know
And behold I became as a stranger

He spoke to my heart and I heard
How promised good land
But behold the guards of the gate laughed at me
And He was as wasn't (not found)

Whole days I have waited for You
Long nights heard Your voice
Don't leave before the first light appears!

And behold a familiar voice this I've heard
And my heart skipped like a bird on the roof
And I stood up to open the door
And behold again disappeared
The guards have found me on the way
Have you seen the One disappearing

Hanan Ben- Ari - Dor (Generation)
A generation went and a generation arrived, a generation sitting on the crisis
This generation everyone were waiting for, and now it's maturing
A generation wants to taste and touch, feel deep inside the heart
Eat from the Tree of Knowledge, and at the end fall in love

A generation thirsty for love, wants a bit love
A whole generation choosing Geheinam instead of Gan Eden of compromise
A generation returning back

A generation breaking the idols of grandpa, grandpa has small god
God of fear of punishment, god of black- and- white
God locked in four bars of Halacha
Do what is written, and merit most of blessing
A shallow god like Worts, and worn out Gematrias
A generation breaking Father's heart, a generation breaking the vessels

A fat generation and not full, pills for any demand
Love is not for eternity, so now he is divorcing
Post-Modern Liberal, sanctifying the confusion
There's no truth, and there's no normal
A generation of tear, a generation of the Flood

During the nights I remember grandpa, sometimes a bit jealous
In the bread in salt smile, in Baba Sali a burning candle!

David D'or & Amir Benayoun - Tzamah Lecha Nafshi

"My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You,
in a dry and weary land, where there's no water
Yes I have foreseen You in sanctity, to see Your power and Your glory" (Psalm 63)
