MIZMOR TODA LeDANA INTERNATIONAL

Dany Zack

Original melody: "Kan" - Israel 1991

Kan beiti po ani no-la-de-ti,
Ba-mishor asher al sfat hayam.
Kan rau einay e-ro-vi-sio-nim,
Mi-yan-kut ad ein ketz, le'olam
Mi-yan-kut ad ein ketz, le'olam!

Here is my home, this is where I was born,
On the plane which is on the shores of the sea,
Here my eyes watched Eurovisions,
Since infancy, with no end, forever
Since infancy, with no end, forever!

Kan beiti po ani ga-dal-ti,
Be-Ashdod asher al sfat hayam,
Kan be-hol shana rak hit-pa-lal-ti,
Le-chalom katan u-me-yu-had.
Le-chalom katan u-me-yu-had.

Here is my home, this is the where I grew up,
In Ashdod which is on the shores of the sea,
Here, every year, I only prayed,
For a special little dream.
For a special little dream.

Kan tza-fiti, kan hit-ga-shem halomi,
Kan ra-iti et artzi, ve'et oshri.
Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana nitzha medinati.

Here I watched, here my dream came true,
Here I saw my country, and my happiness,
Here the Diva sang, [she's] the Messiah for me,
And after twenty years, my country won.

Kan be-hol shana rak hikiti,
La-sha-na ha-ba'a bi-yru-sha-laim.
Kan be-hol shana rak kitarti,
Al politica ve-di-lim lo hognim
Al politica ve-di-lim lo hognim

Here, every year, I only waited,
For the next year in Jerusalem!
Here, every year, I only complained,
About politics and unfair deals. About politics and unfair deals.

Kan tza-fiti, kan hit-ga-shem halomi,
Kan ra-iti et artzi, ve'et oshri.
Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana nitzha medinati.

Kan!

Here I watched, here my dream came true,
Here I saw my country, and my happiness,
Here the Diva sang, [she's] the Messiah for me,
And after twenty years, my country won.

Here!

Kan beiti po ani hish-kaf-ti,
Al nitzahon, hitgashmut halomi,
Kan zahiti lihiyot ba'ananim,
E-ro-vi-sion bi-yru-sha-laim birati
E-ro-vi-sion bi-yru-sha-laim birati!

Here is my home, here is where I watched,
Over a victory, over the realisation of my dream,
Here I got to be up to the clouds,
A Eurovision in Jerusalem, my capital!

Kan tza-fiti, kan hit-ga-shem halomi,
kan ra-iti et artzi, ve'et oshri.
Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana nitzha medinati.

Here I watched, here my dream came true,
Here I saw my country, and my happiness,
Here the Diva sang, [she's] the Messiah for me,
And after twenty years, my country won

Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana,
Ah-rei esrim shana!

Kan tza-fiti, kan hit-ga-shem halomi,
kan ra-iti et artzi, ve'et oshri.
Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana nitzha medinati.

Kan shara Diva, ha-me-shi-ha mib-hi-na-ti,
Ve-ah-rei esrim shana...
Nitzha me-di-na-ti!
