Eurovision 1973- Israel (Ey-Sham)

[b0vine09]

Ilanit's got so much class in this song, I love it. Her voice, her looks, the melody, everything is perfect no wonder it got ranked so high

[Valtteri2]

what a beautiful song and video, makes me feel happy listening to this, and nostalgic, even though I was born long after this song, but I remember listening to this already as a kid when I became a eurovision fan in the early 2000s and I loved this song back then already

these old eurovision songs are so great and they make me happy =)

[jnus2]

שיר יפה ואילנית שרה טוב מאוד וגם נראית טוב!

לימדנו את הגויים מה זה "שם" ומה זה "כאן" (שיותר אהבתי האמת) עכשיו נשאר ללמד אותם למי יש זכות להישאר כאן, ומי צריך ללכת לשם... חחחח :)

[asafavidar]

ISRAEL IN HEBREW IS "YASHAR-KEL" WICH MEANS STRIGHT FORWARD TO GOD

THIS IS NICE !

[georgieonmymind]

I don't often thumbs up songs that I don't understand the words to. But his is really beautiful :)

[alabc7]

Israel shines a light upon the nations. Love from the Portugal! :)

[brigite24]

I LOVE IT ,,,,,,JE VOUS ADMIRE DIEU VOUS BENISSE 

[qsarap]

judaism is as shitty as islam BUT İ LİKE HEBREW SONGS

[merryroach]

@qsarap Well, if Judaism is shitty, that means that Christianity is also shitty, because Christianity started from Judaism! To remind you that Jesus was Jewish and not Christian... You should have more respect for other people's religion!

[HellenicGreekBeauty]

i love this song though i don't understand what it says

i used to listen to this as a kid and my grandmother loved this before she passed away because her best friend was one of the jews in greece that were taken away from their hourse to the holocaust by the nazi germans that invaded greece in the 40's.

She never saw her best friend again and this song really made her to remember her again.

[pini1221]

[MrGildr]

@HellenicGreekBeauty

HEY BROTHER

Your story telling made​me shed tears

[CisNic1]

@HellenicGreekBeauty - Wow amazing story!!

[arikkurz]

@HellenicGreekBeauty It says: Its half the night and I am still waked, Dreams are comming... It is the silence before the storm, Lets go now... There, there I saw the rainbow in the cloude, There, there the morning come in white. Some where, we will find together the garden, The garden of love. There, there I heard a very old song, There, there is a moon, every night. Some where, we will find together the garden, The garden of love. . . .

[digitalpiggy193]

@arikkurz lol im only in beginners hebrew so i cant understand anything, but with ur translation i do hear the keywrds like garden, morning, love, etc. and of course, sham XD

[rollerballrico]

shes hot!

[erezg100]

[Tenortalker]

Great singer. Israel can be proud of her. I preferred her second Eurovision entry which didn't do so well unfortunately.

[56566680]

אישה וזמרת ענקית

ישראל חייבת לה הרבה

אדוני למה אתה כותב תעריך כמותך לך לפני 3 חודשים בכל אופן אתה צודק.

[yandrsupreme]

How does one pronounce her name?

[lovenikka]

@yandrsupreme ilanit (ee-la-nit )

[yandrsupreme]

@lovenikka thank you!

[kizti8558]

@yandrsupreme EE-LA-NIT (ILANIT)

[malaguenho89]

una bella canzone... :)

[tomer5885]

היום אין אף אחת שמגיעה לרמת שלה

[thatsme1945]

If she had sung the English version of this she would have won without a doubt. Her voice is very powerful when she sings the English version.

[francisnancy54]

My favourite from 1973

[TheSuccee]

Already 11 years earlier, in 1962, first Jewish singer attended ESC. She was Marion Rung from Finland with song Tipi-Tii. She sung in Finnish, song is about glad and frolic spring time :)

Marion Rung has been very popular singer in Finland and has performed abroad too. She attended ESC 2nd time at 1973 singing Tom Tom Tom

[MommieDearest67]

Love Ilanit! Great song!

[PrinceRaif]

dear Laizlabonita - my democracy does NOT say KILL ! so Fuck YOU with you terrorist friends.

[sterlingmenthol77]

rich jew princess

[REBrandts]

בהחלט זו הייתה בחירה נכונה, שיר טוב, לחן טוב, זמרת טובה (עם מראה סקנדינבי משהו).

אגב, באותו זמן זה היה שיא מיקום של הופעת בכורה בתחרות.

[egebamyasi]

Moving.

Lump in my throat - i don't need to know what shes singing - and singing it very well - Ilanit can certainly deliver the goods.

Long live Israel - you're an inspiration, i love you.

God bless Israel.

[dalvoer]

אילנית האהובה

גדלתי על שירייך

[renatov65]

beautiful lyrics !

[shayshalom]

[TzofiyaJudah]

she isn't jewish? says who? and y does it matter? she is lovely n has a good voice.

[shayshalom]

Still the best Israeli Singer

[tmprogram]

that woman is NOT jewish

[shayshalom]

@tmprogram this women is the daughter of holocaust survivours n a real Zionist

[tmprogram]

@shayshalom exactly zionist are fake jews from europe NOT CANAAN!

[shayshalom]

@tmprogram Listen body go learn history... ur faith is based on jewish fary tales, ur savior is Jewish Rabbi named Yeshuah (Jesus), ur art, music, science, math, etc books r all written by jews, ur movies r made by jews, ur scholarship is donated by jews. Without Jews u were nothing as u speak.

[tmprogram]

@shayshalom first off "body" you stupid ignorant piece of shit im not even christian and how is my art and etc. made by jews. you dont know shit u fuckin moron. and what do u mean without jews im nothing man fuck you thats why im not christion because it is a fairy tale just like jews are. before christianity the world was doing just fine

[shayshalom]

@tmprogram smells like shit...talk like shit....write like shit. Ohhhh it's shit. No Comments.... u r 2 ignorant 2 handle. visit a shrink someday... he will solve it all

lol tnx

[StaiNoGrey]

@tmprogram Nobody made you a racist, you were one to begin with. Jews aren't a race, Judaism is a religion. The singer is 100% Jewish and 100% Israeli.

[dasmysteryman12]

@tmprogram Would you please stop and enjoy the song????!!!

Geez....

[AnOnlineDude]

Europe in the Middle East ! Amazing !

[sabrine2000]

what the fuck

[JerusalemHolyLand]

Beautiful song

[headphone355]

That lady conducting the Israeli entry is none other than Nurit Hirsch, who was the composer of "Somewhere". She, of course, composed and conducted the 1978 winner "A-Ba-Ni-Bi".

[ronansex]

love it the song is 1 of the best ever !!!!!

[NuBemet]

נוסטלגיה.......

לא ידעתי שהשיר הזה יצג אותנו ב73...

Nostalgie.....

I didnt know that this song represented us in 1973

[brigite24]

I LOVE IT BIG HUGS ISRAEL BRAVO

[IsraeliXdude]

[aviadmei]

This is the beautiful and so unique Israel I miss so much!!!!! nowadays, we are just like the rest of Western World, an isolated island of the West in the bloody Midde East.... PEACE ON EARTH! AMEN.

[jesusteama1]

Wonderful :) God bless Israel. You are the only one democracy in the middle east. God bless you forever and ever.

[Salalala100]

@Laizlabonita

do us a faver and shut the fuck up.

stinky mouth.

Israel is the only democracy in the middle east and thats a fact.

[idanFR]

@Laizlabonita Hi, just wanted to tell you that I am from Israel and I had up to here with politics. I love Turkey and I LOVE the Turkish entries to the Eurovision. Well done for the second place this year and I simply love Turkey 1996 and 1983 (Opera!)

[ron13000]

This is a singer with a rare quality of voice combined with soul and emotions AMAZING

[TRANYG]

It was Israel's moment to shine, mere months after the most horrific palestinian terrorist attack against the Israeli Olympic Wrestling team at Munich, West Germany. While Israel continues to shine until this day, winning world acclaim in movies, medical breakthroughs, scientific breakthroughs and miraculaous, earth-friendly/green inventions, all done by freedom loving, free people in their own land, the fake so-called 'palestinians' continue to bomb civilians wherever and whenever they can.

[ED25NYC]

would you shut up and let us enjoy this song!!! :)

[inicc]

im israeli but please dont belittle "so-called" "palestinians" and their politics as simple bombing for fun. why would they just bomb if their wasnt a purpose and something they are trying to achieve? palestinians are the people right now in greater israel that are not israeli citizens, they are living under a military occupation- soldiers everywhere, roadblocks, settlements cutting off farms from families, and lack of freedom. mostly heir leadership's fault, but still. 2 sides to the fight

[Dandibay]

what a load of wishful thinking. ze lo emet sheata katavtah.

[ronansex]

love this song ilanit is great israel is the best !!!!!

[strilrever]

What a great song. Too bad there were no back up singers like on the album version.

[jalilafrican]

What´s the name of this singer please ?

[amam511]

We know here by the name of ILANIT, but she was born as Hana Drezner. She is one of the most famous Israeli singers, mainly in the late 60's and 70's but even after she is still known for her great voice and charming character.

[dafna247]

ilanit

[yonataneshel]

(1) Halfway through the night and I'm still awake Dreams comes to my threshold It is merely the silence that comes before the strom Let us go now. There, There I saw a rainbow There, There the morning shines in white glare Out there, together we shall find the garden The garden of love. There, there I've heared an old, ancient song There, there the moon shines every night Out there, together we shall find the garden The garden of love.

[yonataneshel]

(2) Winds envelopes my house tonight Grabbing it in all directions Beyond the clouds is where we're going Holding hands together. A new day is knocking on my heart's doors tonight And within it, you're approaching. Let us go out and seek the gardens of light blue In thier gates we shall pass. Out there, together we shall find the garden The garden of love. There..

[forzamicha46]

great song  great decade !!!

viva Ilanit !

[1jonners]

This deserved a much higher placing. It is simply gorgeous - a very catchy chorus and fabulous singer!

[EUropafurst]

Looked for this song since hearing it on Irish Radio a few weeks back,nice ballad. Might well have won in another year but the competition in '73 produced some other fabulous entries.

Great voice and presentation.

[banshee01111]

fuck zionists

[adinwashere]

Good idea, they are very good in bed.

[ronansex]

love ilanit ,israel is the best !!!!!!!!!!

[liorbm]

she is alive u idiot

[Ariamaluum]

Kind of looks like a younger Cloris Leachman from the 70's.

[avix76]

איללנניתתתת אתת הכיי טובההה בעולםםםםםםם !!!!

אצלנוו את תמיד מנצחתת !!

ilanit your amazing !!! your my Idol !!!!

[torricelli80]

If I'm not mistaken Nurit Hirsh the composer of this song was the first and

only woman ever to conduct eurovision orchestra doing it twice in 1973

and in 1978 when Israel actually won for the first time with a song she composed.

[ronansex]

לפי דעתי אילנית היתה צריכה ליזכות במקום 2 .מקום 4 לא מספיק לשיר כזה יפה !!ביצוע מושלם . אילנית זמרת גדולה!!!

[yossi998]

@ronansex 

[yossi998]

@yossi998

[Bouncingship]

were nose jobs available in 73?

[feliknos]

do u have a problem with her nose?!?!?!?!

[avix76]

yeaa you have a problem with that asshole ?! fuck you !

[uniformskins]

wonderful. Top points for Israel.

[egebamyasi]

what a debut ... it's no wonder they had won it twice by the end of the decade. Bravo!

[shnoziyahu]

amaizing! 10 points!

אילנית,סחטיין!

[GatoAmarillo76]

I love her presentation ... I don't understand any word of Hebrew but she's able to transmit a lot of things with her voice

[mrbrotherbear]

amazing! well done

[livni2]

love this entry, in the days when it was still about singing and music and less about show and props

[Romitadinda]

yeah, nowadays all is solved with "body exhibitions" X_X

[ariari6460]

I have liked since '73 this very first Israeli Eurovision song. Marion of Finland (Tom Tom Tom ESC 1973) sang this in Finnish same year.

[GNOME65536]

לראות את אירופה בתחילת ה - 70

אין יותר מזה ,

רק המחשבה ביחד עם שיר זה , גורמת לבכי

אינסופי

אילנית, ברוכה את

[raulevich]

oye igualita a su hermana americana carol king... tremendo tema muy parecido a su partner hollywoodense

[Maxwell1901]

I always thought she sounded more like Helen Reddy than Carole King in this song, but the rest I agree with

[yairbier]

writ down your e-mail and ill send you the translat

[alantuan]

Would you like to translate the meaning of this great song,please!!! I hope the text is as strons as the music!!!

[Renatush1989]

שיר מהמם:)

[nrm1000]

This has got to be one of the best Israeli entries of all time, along with 1979,1978,2005,2008,and 1983. Does anybody know where i can find this song?

[EylonKaplan]

פשוט מלכה

[egebamyasi]

yes indeed Ilanit was born in Tel Aviv.

[ronansex]

ilanit 1973 in eurovision great song 4 place I love this song Israel 12 points!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kink66]

Ilanit was born in south america....!

[MacI568]

Ilanit (born September 17, 1947 in Tel Aviv, Israel)

[MT4Ever]

she was born in Israel, but lived with her family in Brazil for a few years. Her dad worked there.

[shaninooshka]

@Polarpower1 darling . Palestinians They kill just us! You heard about the terrorist attacks? We did not do it ... Only the Palestinians! So you can not say we really killers We did not let any Jew to kill himself to that the Arabs will die and the arabs yes do it! So please stop fighting!

[juanilloso]

y la pobre con un chaleco anti-balas

[SillyGrandpa]

she sounds a little bit like Joan Baez !!!

[alantuan]

This is the best song of the eurovision contest in 1973-the yeat I was born.So tender and so strong. I wish know the meaning of the text!

[feliknos]

i can translate it for u if u want.. just send me a private msg.

[YummyDucky]

god she looks soo young here

[ricochet217]

nothing what could be good....the best eurovision song ever (from israel) is the performance of ofra haza; she's the queen, she's a goddess....love to ofra haza....r.i.p....

....mfg....resul....

[MacI568]

Our best Eurovision song.

<3

[makpaz]

Somewhere there I saw a rainbow in the cloud, where together we will find love, the Garden of Love

[mamifish]

מהממת!

[ilanit1983]

i from israel and i was named a ftar this singer ilanit my mom is a big fan of her and when i was barn she decieded to call me ilanit. she was agreat singer in israel and this is the first time israel participate in the contest

[markushh]

Great song great points and notice the conductor!

[wownouser]

It's Nurit Hitsh and she was also the composer of the song. She also composed abanibi.

[strilrever]

great song and whoever said back up singers would have been nice is right. the LP version has back ups on it

[fbergerson]

Pre-op, eh? Now we all know what you like.

[Japanese1970]

It was unusual for a debuting country in ESC to get high points from juries. Ey Sham from Israel

was an exception. It landed fourth after Luxemburg, Spain, and U.K.

Really nice song but the Israelis could beat Luxemburg, if they sent a back up singers in 1973.

[elavie]

שיר יפה Graet Song!

[Japanese1970]

Together with Erest Tu, this debut song from Israel are my favorites from 1973.

[cristianharvey]

השיר יפה מאוד !!!!

[sabibu]

third

[derekjtaylor]

Actually, it finished fourth. Cliff Richard was third.

[IsraeliXdude]

Great song, im hearing it for the first time, what place did Israel took?

[wownouser]

4th.

[yididnefesh]

would be great if it had subtitles

[GilMaister]

The best entry from Israel ever since we take part in the Eurovision, not even a single doubt.

[shaninu1]

she's beautiful!1

[dirkbaeke]

Milk &Honey with Halleluia, I love that song a little more

[dirkbaeke]

Indeed, it is a nice song, the first of Israel in Eurovision. I also love the lyrics. The second best song of Israel!

[robtmircea]

who's the first?

[sabibu]

me too I love her...bravo Ilanit... 12 Points!

[Bartdebard]

I loved this song so much when I was only fifteen. It is forever linked with the year my parents died in a car crash. What a beautiful ballad.
