Lay Down Your Arms - Israeli Peace Song

[Washu1973]

All of the guns will be laid down and melted down as scrap metal when the last suicide bomber and rocket crew gives up their weapons and does the same.

[Kabman89]

Tara can sing. What year was this?

[Kabman89]

@Kabman89 Oh never mind. It says 1992.

why dont you just lay down your arms?

[phoenixred999]

if Arabs lay down their arms, there will be no more war

If Israel lays down its arms, there will be no more Israel

[xKristyLee]

I sung this as a 13 year old, for a singing festival for children where I live. I sung the solo in Hebrew too.

everytime, this song makes me tear up.. may peace prevail.

Can anyone give me the Hebrew lyrics?

[uiaeli]

The lyrics are from Isaiah 2:4. Do you want them in English, Hebrew, or hebrew transliteration?

The English words are:

And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their sword into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

[music6gurl4ever]

V' chee-te-too charvo tam le-ee-teem, va cha-nee-to-tey-hem le-maz-me-rot.

^----That translates to "Dear God, please hear us - Listen to our prayer, and help us do Thy will upon this earth."

That's what they sing in the song: 2:40.

Hope that helped :]

[music6gurl4ever]

Oh, and the other Hebrew part is "Lo yisa goy el goy-cherev velo yeel-me-doo od meel-cha ma...Lo yisa goy el-goy cheh-rev velo yeel-me-doo od meel-cha ma"

That's the "Lay down your arms" refrain part.

[witchywoman2008]

Thanks! That really helps. I wish I could speak Hebrew. Its really a beautiful language.

[music6gurl4ever]

Yeah, no problem :]

We are actually singing this song for our school choir, so that's why I have the lyrics to it.

[witchywoman2008]

Well I'm jealous. My school wouldn't sing this. Actually no-one at my school has even heard of it. Plus as far as I know no-one there can speak Hebrew.

[jstyledipset]

[jonniemango]

wonderful

[mindovermatter2009]

wow,very moving.Just like all the innocent children of all ages - so beautifull! Thank you for posting this video. The world needs to see the affects of our decisions. Life,War and Death is not a board game we can close, put on a dusty shelf and forget about when we go to bed at night. No matter what country we are in we need to evolve and keep our fighting to round tables before we errivocably change lives we've never known. Thank You For the Song,love lisa. "must we" is my song. Peace to all.
