Lyricks from the Hatikva (translated from the original French version)of Francky Perez hommage for the 60th birthday of Israel If you knew how I love her You’d see how I feel If you where I am from then you know what IS-real If you’ve bled like we’ve bled died like we’ve died Seen what we’ve seen and cried what we’ve cried You’d know we love her, treat her like a son does his mother Or a father does his son and the brothers do each other For every stone we move, and all the land we lose As life gets hot like the desert sand in June And everywhere is the same, the only real change is Every day new faces that feel the same hatred It’s like we’re caught in the matrix, we need ‘The One’ to save us They can bomb us, they can kill us, but they will never break us The beach air is so clear, and the sand is like cotton In a land that has been forsaken but has never been forgotten and I turn to the east and I pray as the sun warms my skin The voices of my elders and the places I have been We have overcome the wait overcome our faith Underestimated and overcome the pain 5000 years of history, weather you know it or not that’s why we defend the land like it’s all we’ve got Cause, it is the only safe place to raise my kids The family how can it be so hard to let us live They welcome me with open arms, even though times are hard As peace is like a memory that drifts between the songs We build this city out of blood, made buildings out of mud That’s why I wrote this song out of respect and out of love For my descendence, every letter, line and every sentence It’s time for us to celebrate our independence This is Go’ds city, Jerusalem-Yerushalayim The only place we live without the fear of dying Doctors, Mothers, Sons, Prophets and teachers Believe is what we do..Odlo avda Tikvatenou |
