Harel Skaat - Ha'Reut/The Friendship

[mvmv86]

תכלס ברור שהיה מתח הומו אירוטי בין רבין ופרס ..

[eliyohub]

"Rabin worship" is revolting. Don't make a hero of someone just because he was murdered.

sorry about my poor hebrew, abal ani lomedet ivrit.=)

[ciaraspunky]

Thank you for the English translation. I never would have guessed that this song had such a symbolic meaning behind it. It is a really beautiful song; both its tune and its lyrics. I just barely starting listening to Hebrew music, specifically Harel's. I am an American (and a Christian) and I have a special interest in Israel and its history.

[yonataneshel]

you're most welcome my friend. i've translated most of Harel's clips here on Youtube ,at least those i found to draw most foreign interest.

i'm glad you liked it, but i wouldn't want you to judge the song by my translation because:

a. i'm not a professional translator by trade or anything.

b. due to basic differences between hebrew and english the translating process kind of takes the edge off the original lyrics and doesn't do it justice, just keep that in mind, and enjoy yourself!

[ciaraspunky]

I honestly don't mind that your translations of his lyrics are 100% accurate. Just as long as I have some idea of what he is saying/singing. I am sure the Hebrew lyrics are even more beautiful. I really want to learn it. It is such a beautful language with so much historical background to it. How do you say:

a)Hello

b)Goodbye

in Hebrew?

[zedy87]

hi! so nice when people are interested in Israel!

Hello is shalom

Goodbye is lehitraot or shalom

Shalom also means peace!

[yonataneshel]

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: this is one of the greatest war songs of our nation, it deserves to be translated. this is, of course, a song sung AFTER the war (originally YOM KIPPUR war, 1973) in memory of brothers who fell defending the country.

[wainblatrobert]

yonatan there was really no need for the translation as a link to it was provided in the clip's description

[yonataneshel]

oh, sorry, I didn't see that.

[yonataneshel]

(part-1) an autumn night falls on the desert *(originaly it's "Negev"- a southern desert in Israel)* lighiting up stars silently while the wind passes by the threshold clouds strolling on the road it's been a year now we hardly noticed how times flew by in our fields a year now, so few of us left so many no longer among us

[yonataneshel]

(part-2) but we shall remember them all the handsome and proud lads because this kind of brotherhood will never allow our hearts to forget love, sacred in blood shall blossom amid us once again. the brotherhood, without words we carry you gray, persistent and silent out of all thoes great nights of horror you remain, brightly burning

[yonataneshel]

(part-3)

the brotherhood, as your lads we are all

again in your name we shall smile and go on

because comrades, who fell on their swords

left you alive to remember

CHORUS

-end- man, it sounds so much better in hebrew..

[itsmeimgr8]

a really nice song. harel the king!

[DiVeronica]

AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL!

shalom

i love israeli music :D

from spain

[mrrabin]

how can i download it.

[schockstarre]

Using Firefox, download the addon "DownloadHelper" and you can download all clips as *.flv. Then you can convert it on several internet sites to mp3.

[i4uwe41]

if you have the most recent version of realplayer you can easily download any video on the Internet. If you buy realplayer pro you are supposed to be able to make your own DVDs of the downloaded videos.

[RachelNoya]

you can download if you move your mouse up over the video if you have realplayer a download will pop up.
