Lyrics:
Chorus x 2:
When the world's gone lost
We're gonna help you find the way
Too much drama in my eyes that I can't hide
When the world's gone lost
I don't plan to fall with it

Verse 1 - Ruff:
I'm on the wrong side of the map, activists with knifes got me trapped
Surrounded by hostility, trying not to react
Flotillas of hatred, we're caught in the matrix
I'm trying to survive, they're pulling the same tricks
This international hypocrisy won't get us far
One-sided media puts us behind bars
Nations with no minorities, judging with no authority
They're gonna tell me how to deal with what's in front of me
What about Sudan and North Korea? Could they care less?!
They wanna boycott us, they're gonna share less
We're lying on the fence for the rest of the world
Provide a buffer zone while overseas they get us sold
I know my people can be divided at times
Got too many opinions with too much shit on our minds
You can hate us now, we ain't gonna fight it
You're only making us stronger and more united

Chorus:
When the world's gone lost
We're gonna help you find the way
Too much drama in my eyes that I can't hide
When the world's gone lost
I don't plan to fall with it

Verse 2 - SHI 360:
‏But I ' m already home and the media distorts your vision
‏Got blind followers here in full submission
‏Provocateurs,‬ they just wanna instigate
‏And create the image you love to hate
‏You can talk about humanitarian aid
‏Politically affiliated IHH
‏Guess who's more popular? Erodgan
‏Fuck left and right , we should all stand as one
‏You really thought we were gonna let 'e m in?
‏When yesterday they tried to bring Karine
‏A - was that aid or to arm Jihad?
‏Wanna talk about aid ? What about Gilad ?
‏Because the horse is trojan, doors not open
‏I gotta do whatever to protect my home and
‏I ' m a peace dealer, my flow killa
‏But no peace came at me on the flotilla

Chorus x 2:
When the world's gone lost
We're gonna help you find the way
Too much drama in my eyes that I can't hide
When the world's gone lost
I don't plan to fall with it

עם ישראל חי

Soulico feat Axum: A new guy comes to the neighborhood

Hip hop reaggae duo Axum is doing a cover produced by Soulico. The israeli duo has yemenite and etiopian jewish roots and is one of the leading israeli hip hop/rap/reaggae groups in Israel.
The story in the song is about a new guy who is moving into the neighborhood originally sung by composer Alon Olearchik even though he meant it to be sung by Ofra Haza.

This coming season 2 of Avoda Aravit ("Arabic Labor") will feature the song. Maybe the clip tells something about what will happen in the first episode? Anyway exciting. On July 17 is the release date for season 2 in Israeli Channel 2. Prime time!
The series is the first arabic sitcom on mainstream Israeli TV and last season even made the US chief of Foreign Affairs mrs Hillary Clinton ask for a copy during a visit to Israel. On July 28 the arab-israeli writer of the show, Sayed Kashua, will receive "San Fransisco Jewish Film Festivals Freedom of Expression Award", SFJFF reporting on their website.

The 3 tenors?

Ahmedido Domingo (aka Ahmadinejad), Erdogano Pavarotti (aka Erdogan) and Assad Carreras (aka Bashar Assad) singing about the benefits of terrorism.



Lyrics:

Based on Funiculi Funicula
Sung by the Three Terrors:
Erdogano Pavarotti, Assad Carreras and Ahmedido Domingo


Erdogan: I say -- it's time that I restore the Empire
Let's get to work (let's get to work!)
Because in Europe everybody knows that
I'm just a jerk (he's just a jerk!)
Assad: And I , the serial killer who should spend all
his life in jail (oy vey oy vey)
To reach the hearts of all the world media
We found the trail (hurray hurray)

Erdogan: Terror, Terror, that's my cup of tea
Terror gains us love and sympathy
To beat the West, to be the one
From Tripoli to Teheran
Yalla yalla, ya -- Jihad is sweet, Jihad is fun

All: Terror, Terror, that's how you convince
That you're cool and charming as a prince
To beat the West, to be the one
For Hezbullah and Erdogan
Yalla yalla, ya -- Jihad is sweet, Jihad is fun

B.
Ahmedi: So now, the UN has imposed the sanctions
(Ironically) Oh my, oh my... (oh my, oh my)
Together here we stand, no opposition,
I hung them high (he hung them high)
I wish to thank Obama for his patience,
For playing dumb (for playing dumb)
Coz now I got the peace of mind to build me
The nuclear bomb (The nuclear bomb)

Terror, terror, that's my cup of tea
Assad: Terror gains us love and sympathy
Erdogan: To beat the West, to be the one
From Tennessee to Teheran
Yalla, yalla ya, Jihad is sweet, Jihad is fun

All: Terror, Terror, gets us all the grants
Terror makes you all piss in your pants
To beat the West, to be the one
From Tennessee to Teheran
Yalla yalla, ya -- I hit the switch and you are gone!

Lyrics of "Home"

אתה רואה איך זה מרגיש בבית
אתה חושב שאני לא
אבל בפנים לפעמים נזכרת
שגם אני מפה

You see how it feels at home
Yet you think I don't
But deep inside, I am sometimes reminded
that I'm from here too


אני רואה איך שאתה פורח
אתה חושב שאני לא
אבל גם לי מתחת יש עוד שורש
וגם אני מפה

I see how you're blossoming
Yet you think that I'm not
But I've also got deeper roots underneath...
That I'm from here

CHORUS:

עכשיו נוסעים הביתה הלוך חזור
עכשיו עוצרים בדרך, עכשיו אפשר לבחור
לשאול על סוף, על התחלה
על שיהיה ושהיה
על שהייתי יכולה להיות וגם אתה

Now it's time to go home, back and forth
Now we're stopping along the way, it's possible to decide
To ask about endings, about beginnings
About what will be and what was
About what I could have been...and you too

--

אתה רואה איך זה מרגיש בבית,
אתה חושב שאני לא,
אבל בפנים לפעמים נזכרת
שגם אני מפה

You see how it feels at home
Yet you think I don't
But deep inside, I am sometimes reminded
that I'm from here too

עכשיו נוסעים הביתה...

Now we're on the way home...

Lyrics translated of Yallah

Why did you reveal to me just now
about this guy
about that crazy guy
I would have already told you then - this is not it
You should not be in it
you are tempted, suddenly you become addicted
And this is your time to be different

Say yallah (come on)
You're waving goodbye and moving forward
And it makes your heart jump up
He's not worth it, he's unsuitable
So yallah

I already understood a long time ago - your girl
She only drove you crazy
there are better girls than her
So move on and enough with loosing your mind
Maybe you will stop throwing money on her
when you will understand - there are a thousand girls like her

Tell her: yallah
wave good bye and move on
And your heart will jump
She's no good, she is not suitable
So yallah ...
Say yallah
you wave good bye, and you move on
You cause my heart to jump
You are the most precious there is , so yallah ...

Tell her: yallah
and wave good bye to her and move on
you cause my heart to jump
because you are the most precious there is so yalla!




Say Yallah!
You wave good bye to him and moving on
you cause my heart to jump
because you are the most precious there is so yalla!

‎למה רק עכשיו גילית לי?
‎על הבחור הזה
‎המשוגע הזה
‎הייתי כבר אומר לך אז – זה לא זה
‎ושכדאי לך לא להיות בתוך זה
‎את מתפתה, ברגע מתמכרת
‎וזה הזמן שלך להיות אחרת

‎תגידי יאללה
‎את מנפנפת ועוברת הלאה
‎וזה מקפיץ לך את הלב למעלה
‎הוא לא שווה, הוא לא מתאים
‎אז יאללה

‎כבר מזמן אני הבנתי – הבחורה שלך
‎היא רק שיגעה אותך
‎יש בחורות יותר שוות ממנה
‎אז תתקדם ודי להשתגע
‎אולי תפסיק לזרוק עליה כסף?
‎מתי תבין – כמוה יש עוד אלף

‎תגיד לה יאללה
‎ותנפנף ותעבור כבר הלאה
‎וזה יקפיץ לך ת'לב למעלה
‎היא לא שווה, היא לא מתאימה
‎אז יאללה...
‎תגידי יאללה
‎את מנפנפת ועוברת הלאה
‎אתה מקפיץ לי את הלב למעלה
‎אתה הכי שווה שיש, אז יאללה...

‎תגיד לה יאללה
‎ותנפנף ותעבור כבר הלאה
‎את מקפיצה לי ת'לב למעלה
‎כי את הכי שווה שיש, אז יאללה...
