Ze rak sport - Dafna Dekel - eurovision 1992

[voon100]

I'm in love with those eyes.

[Gman2006unit]

@yardkk86 - Thanks for the translation! Its amazing that music can transcend culture. Music is a universal belief system! xD

[verkaforever]

Very catchy song- deserved a higher placing. She was also great as a presenter- she co-presented ESC in 1999.

[Peleg50]

@verkaforever it won..........

[verkaforever]

@Peleg50 No it didn't. Ireland won. And they deserved to win that year- 1993 and 1994 were crap but their 1992 song was BEAUTIFUL!

[Peleg50]

@verkaforever oh right sorry ye

[Ancupola]

Boker tov israel! bevakasha Dafna!

[TheFloFelix]

yawn... yet another song from Israel that will have a second life at Jewish weddings, very late in the morning when everybody's drunk anyway.

[ShaiSoft]

zodiac should be there!!!!

[DivyaPreity4ever]

dafna is hot!

[MrMissplaced]

היה לי כזה קראש עליה בתור ילד אחרי האירוויזיון

איזה מקום היא זכתה? שישי נכון?

[LunaticY]

A little bit out of tune I think...

[osnatmo1]

נוסטלגיה .... אוהבת !!!

[deathToAllTheJuice]

dafna dekel is the best!

best song Israel send to the eurovision

[tzvika919]

כל כך מקסימה...

[Akaysha36]

I was so happy when i found this song! I have no clue what it means, but I was 10 when my mom replayed the video over and over! I'm delighted to hear it again! Wooot It cheers you up!

[limori84]

אגדה

[Israeli1983]

the good days we used to sing in Hebrew

[yardkk86]

@Israeli1983

אנחנו עדיין שרים בעברית נראה לי...

אחת המדינות היחידות ששרות בשפת האם (חוץ מבריטניה והמדינות הצרפתיות כמובן)

[maitree001]

This song should be re-released this year - but in english - would be an european (summer) smash hit !

[floopifloopi123]

שידרו את השיר עכשיו ברדיו לקראת האירוויזיון הערב,

והתחשק לי לשמוע עוד פעם. :)

היא מקסימה כל כך! :)

[AquiloISR]

I had a crush on her when I was a little boy...:)

[Ghosper]

Me2...!!!

[LaMalaria81]

And I had a crush on this handsome guy behind her! (wearing the yellow jacket) ;-)

[lplp23qw]

me too :)

[moran1992]

nice one. 8 points.

[ground322]

Great performance.

Beautiful lady and wonderful song! Twelve points from me!

[limori84]

traslation: "i'm captured by the melody and i'm addicted to rythem.. " o.k it sounds better in hebrew.. sorry.. i ca'nt really translate it!!

[LaMalaria81]

Everything´s just perfect...the song, the performance and the look! I love it!

[jude11011]

Dafna is hot

a singer she is not

she's a great tv presence workin the cameras

viva sport lol

viva should not be allowed in any israeli entry

because it aint hebrew people

[bensisko16]

I would like to dissagree with you. Dafna is an excellent singer. I'm not sure what you mean by Viva should not be allowed. This is a great song and it should have won. that's my opinion.

[UHF43]

@jude11011 And why not? "Viva" is a spanish word meaning "live". This song is clearly a rendition to latin rhythms so it makes sense to use a spanish word. Moreover, there are a numerous group of jews that still speak Ladino or Judaeo-Spanish.

[giladavid]

i love this song!

[Mtanic]

I was ten back then and I was so dissapointed she didn't win... man, she's so beautiful!!!

[Gman2006unit]

I am of mixedrace decent and I simply love culture! This song has more of euro-feel to it..with a mix of eastern spice..great tune! I think in the UK they don't take this competiton very seriously but I simply love the different cultures and sounds of the world! Love it! Could somebody direct me to a websiet for Dafna Dekel (in english) Thanks!! :)

[Gman2006unit]

Could somebody translate this into english please! Thanks

[yardkk86]

@Gman2006unit

1. I'm the prisoner of melody who's addicted to the ryhtm

That's why I believe in fighting sadness

To dance off all the burdens, to sing into the darkness

To plant for three minutes the sparklings of happiness

And I have no will to sound fancy

This presumption is a tiring thing

And I don't mind not to care, because the game makes me feel fun

If there's a chance of one to a thousand to fly above

[yardkk86]

@Gman2006unit 2. Chorus: And if the girl won't "pull it off" She won't cry, won't declare this day her death Because it's just a sport, it's just a sport It's just a sport - a sport! Yeah life is a fast line and it's a sure thing But tonight I have a song and everthing is still open I feel like among us here in the promised land You'd understund him who is ready to take the risk

[yardkk86]

@Gman2006unit 3. And I have no will to sound fancy All in all it's good and nice for me to do it unprofessionally With a guitarist and a percussionist and a cheeky keyboard player And with that chance of one to a thousand to fly above Chorus: And if the girl won't "pull it off" She won't cry, won't declare this day her death Because it's just a sport, it's just a sport It's just a sport - a sport!

[Gman2006unit]

totally argee with FishMoses! Amazing singer!! Best Eurovisions were in my opinion were 1992,1994!!! :)

[nerodollinger]

This is one of the most beautiful women in the world and a great singer too!

[SharkiESR]

lol when you look at it now you cant look at this preformance without think of sex. It almost sounds like she screams for someone to fuck her brains out, cuz the 2 drummers around her are gays and atract only to each other.

[stroodle222]

This was a great Israeli entry, and not as corny and formulaic as some of their other offerings.

[NorwegianSalmon]

Another Israeli number one!!.. Should be more songs like this in hebrew.. it sounds so cool..

[MISSkitchy]

Not a patch on A Ba Ni Bi!

[setheurovision94]

1990, 1991 and 1992 - in all these years, Israel really outdid themselves, as far as I'm concerned. I love this song; it's snappy, dance vibe. The end is classic, too. ;) "Baba-daba-babba-dobadee-DUM!" Bravo!

[Bigbentz2005]

High Quality song!
