Eurovision 1974 Israel:
Kaveret (Poogy) - "Natati la khayay"
Natati la khayay
Od bayamim harishonim shel hahistoria
Ksheha'olam haya kayam rak bate'oria
Velo hivdilu ben machar, shilshom ve'emesh
Hayu ravim eifo kedai lasim tashemesh
Ach davar echad huskam
Im akshan habenadam
En sikui, en pitsui
Ze ma shekara
Natati la chaiai, yaradti al birkai
Ya'aminu li kulam
Lamadti ma ze stam vene'elavti
Me'az avru harbe gsharim me'al hamaim
Uchvar hispiku lehamtsi tatsohoraim
Od lo yad'u hem al haglobus ma tsura lo
Im meruba hu, im agol, o ech sheba lo
Ach davar echad yad'u
Ve'et ze miyad kav'u
Im serva – en tikva
Ze ma shekara
Natati la chaiai, yaradti al birkai
Ya'aminu li kulam
Lamadti ma ze stam vene'elavti
Hayom timtsa shehanose lechol vikuach
Hu ma ba kodem – habeitsa o hatapuach?
Echad omer shenigmarim lo hashamaim
Ksheyesh maspik avir lemedina o shnaim
Ulai bechol zot nistader
Hi tirtse, az nitgaber
Hi man'a kol gisha
Ze ma shekara keshe…
Natati la chaiai, yaradti al birkai
Ya'aminu li kulam, lamadti ma ze stam
Ani natati la chaiai, yaradti al birkai
Ya'aminu li kulam, lamadti ma ze stam
Ani natati la chaiai, yaradti al birkai
Ya'aminu li kulam, lamadti ma ze ѕtam
Ani natati la… ani natati la
Ani natati la et chaiаi
נתתי לה חיי
עוד בימים הראשונים של ההיסטוריה
כשהעולם היה קיים רק בתיאוריה
ולא הבדילו בין מחר, שלשום ואמש
היו רבים איפה כדאי לשים ת'שמש
אך דבר אחד הוסכם
אם עקשן הבנאדם
אין סיכוי, אין פיצוי
זה מה שקרה
נתתי לה חיי, ירדתי על ברכיי
יאמינו לי כולם
למדתי מה זה סתם ונעלבתי
מאז עברו הרבה גשרים מעל המים
וכבר הספיקו להמציא ת'צהריים
עוד לא ידעו הם על הגלובוס מה צורה לו
אם מרובע הוא, אם עגול, או איך שבא לו
אך דבר אחד ידעו
ואת זה מיד קבעו
אם סרבה – אין תקווה
זה מה שקרה
נתתי לה חיי, ירדתי על ברכיי
יאמינו לי כולם
למדתי מה זה סתם ונעלבתי
היום תמצא שהנושא לכל ויכוח
?הוא מה בא קודם – הביצה או התפוח
אחד אומר שנגמרים לו השמיים
כשיש מספיק אוויר למדינה או שניים
אולי בכל זאת נסתדר
היא תרצה, אז נתגבר
היא מנעה כל גישה
…זה מה שקרה כש
נתתי לה חיי, ירדתי על ברכיי
יאמינו לי כולם, למדתי מה זה סתם
אני נתתי לה חיי, ירדתי על ברכיי
יאמינו לי כולם, למדתי מה זה סתם
אני נתתי לה חיי, ירדתי על ברכיי
יאמינו לי כולם, למדתי מה זה סתם
…אני נתתי לה… אני נתתי לה
אני נתתי לה את חיי
I gave her my life
Back in the early days of history
When the world existed only in theory
And they didn't differentiate between tomorrow, the day before yesterday and last night
They would fight over where to put the sun
But one thing was agreed upon
If the man is stubborn
No chance, no compensation
That is what happened
I gave her my life, I fell on my knees
Everyone will believe me
I learned what it was and was offended
Since then many bridges have passed over the water
And they've already had time to invent the noon
They still didn't know about the globe, what shape it was
If it's square, if it's round, or whatever he likes
But they knew one thing
And that was immediately determined
If she refused - there is no hope
That is what happened
I gave her my life, I fell on my knees
Everyone will believe me
I learned what it was and was offended
Today you will find that the topic for any debate is
What came first - the egg or the apple?
One says that the sky is running out for him
There is enough air for a nation or two
Maybe we'll get along after all
She will want, then we will overcome
She denied any access
That's what happened when…
I gave her my life, I fell on my knees
Believe me, everyone, I learned what it is for nothing
I gave her my life, I fell on my knees
Believe me, everyone, I learned what it is for nothing
I gave her my life, I fell on my knees
Believe me, everyone, I learned what it iѕ for nothing
I gave her my life, I gave her my life
I gаve her my life
She Looked Me In The Eye
My mind was wandering and almost got arrested
It seems that lately all my thoughts have been infested
The day I met her was the end of my beginning
I started losing ever since she started winning
When I take her home at night
She goes left and I go right
She digs soul, I dig coal
That's the way it goes
She looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
No, I can't tell you why
I can't get through her clothes
It's a problem
The other day I went and took her to the movies
I didn't know she'd bring her lonely brother Ruby
We spent the evening in a field of conversation
Discussing politics, Camus and conservation
When I finally said goodbye
She didn't even ask me why
Her control has its goal
That's the way it goes
She looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
No, I can't tell you why
I can't get through her clothes
It's a problem
Return to nature will improve my situation
But I can't do it 'cause I have no transportation
I guess I'm dancing to the tune of my destruction
While she refuses taking part in her seduction
With our future in the past
Our relation can not last
She gets cold, I get old
That's the way it goes
You know, she looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
No, I can't tell you why
I can't get through her clothes
You know, she looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
No, I can't tell you why
I can't get through her clothes
You know, she looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
No, I can't tell you why
I can't get through her clothes
She looked me in the eye
I looked her in the nose
And I just cаn't get through her clotheѕ
