[elisafalco]

I remember this song, I was a little kid when I first heard it and even though I cant understand a single word I love it and now listening to it after 20 years is amazing. Thanks for the translation. Greetings from Albania.

[mk181818]

[glikomu]

Самая моя любимая песня! СПАСИБО !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OrLuski1]

Here, is where I grew up,

Here is where my kids was born,

Here I built my home, with my two hands.

Here, you are with me, and here is one thousands friends,

And after 2000 years, this is the end of my wandering.

The lyrics are so deep!

כאן נולדתי! כאן אשאר!

אני אוהב את ישראל!

[jnus2]

היה צריך לזכות! שיר נוסטלגי ויפה!

[YamiSexymao]

כאן גם אתה איתי וכאן כל אלף ידידיי ..

[ESCTorsten]

I'm sorry that Germany didn't give any points. This song is full of life and I would have loved to see this song winning the contest. Same with Israel in 1983. I don't get it, why those two song did'nt make it to the top. :-(

Please Israel, come back with those kind of songs!!!

[Manne18]

Best Esc song Ever !!

[SuperNonoD]

ואחרי שנות 2000 כל הישראלים מכירים עדיין את השיר הזה !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperNonoD]

Now I understand why all Israeli children know this song =)

[Kristian4252]

long life for ISRAEL

[ajvil92]

My dad is seeing this video after 20 years...

this is so amazing.

great music.

[SimsMoyal]

Should have won ... have you noticed how the 3 countries who didn't give this song any points are Austria,Germany,Italy .... that has a certain connection to it ....

[abdurrahmankurt]

I liked that song and Turkey gave 12 points as we muslim Turks we believe in peace

I wish zionist jews would change their minds on innocent paletinians and stop invade their lands gardaully and let the peace capture all over the middle east

[alexchera1]

@abdurrahmankurt

What about innocent kurdistan my friend? How many of them turkish goverment kills every day? What will happends if Israel will "help" them to get freedom? Ask your self these questions.

[reutamichai]

@alexchera1 you forgot also the Armenian and the greeks.....

[SEBEVRANJE]

[majchi77]

After 20 years I have heard the song again, amazing ... I recall the words but I never did understand them ... I was 14 years old then ... greetings from Serbia

[odavidish]

God Bless and Protect Israel.

Shalom!

[Kristian4252]

Long Lıfe for Israel.

[Kristian4252]

I love this song. I love Israel. Europe is putana. europe is lucky that Israel exist there. otherwıse the name of old putana changed ın Eurabıa

[back2forward]

Israel has always good songs. every year.

[KnightOnE5Square]

Nowdays songs with strong ethnic colors like this one doesn't get voted anymore but eurovision has turned into a commercial flop anyway. For me this is one of the best entries that music contest have ever had. And not simply because it's a nice memory from my childhood...(I was 7 yrs old at the time) The blonde girl looks lovely, beautiful music, very well arranged choreography. Greetings from Albania!

[giladigital]

so many memories... israel used to be great!

[hilula27]

@giladigital

israel is still great' and allways will be great!!!!!!

[xiddox1]

Kan noladeti, kan noldu li yeladay, kan baniti et beiti- bishtei yaday

[durresdurres1]

omg finally i found it :)...yes it is true that it was the first eurovision after the fall of comunism in Albania and i remember it very well. was 7 at that time and used to love it....wish i cld understan the lyrics tho

[itaymesh]

@durresdurres1 HERE Here is my home, here I was born On the plain which is by the shore. Here are the friends who I grew up with And I have no other place in the world. I have no other place in the world. Here is my home, here I played in the lowland which is near the mountain here I drank water from the well and planted grass in the desert and planted grass in the desert.

[durresdurres1]

@itaymesh

sorry for the late reply...the text is as wonderful as the music of this song...thnx alot for translating it :)

[itaymesh]

@durresdurres1 Chorus: Here I was born here my children were born to me. here I built my house - with my own two hands here, you're also with me and here are all of my thousand friends and after 2,000 years - my wanderings are over. Here I played all of my songs and went on a night journey here in my youth I defended the land of my God x2 Here I set my table A piece of bread, a fresh flower I opened the door to my neighbors And whoever comes, we'll greet “Ahalan!*” x2

[majchi77]

@durresdurres1

omg finally i found it :) 

[Premtown]

Sweden win but israel should be second more than third

[MultiShkumbini]

Jewish perveq si din me luftu din edhe me kendu

[danolear1]

Don't remember any song from Eurovision , that didn't win- but I remmeber this one- good enough that I was able to find it on You tube 20 years later- without knowing its name nor the name of this charming couple.

I was from Yugoslavia back than ( Serbia now) and remember my country gave to this song max points back than. I couldn't agree more. Don't understand the lyrics but its cheerful, lively and I like it even today :)

[xShatzLoveJohnnyDx]

@danolear1

Hi :)

I'm from Israel, actually, and the bame of this song means "here". Kan=Here in hebrew. This is a really good song, I agree, but their accsent are.. pretty old for now, anyway. I can explane for you the lyris, if you'd like. :)

[giladigital]

@xShatzLoveJohnnyDx

that would be awesome! Kan noladeti is here ive born right? but i dont know what else they say :)

[KnightOnE5Square]

Love this song! From Albania

[pauluk72]

Great song...takes me back!

[ronansex]

כולם נתנו לנו נקודות חוץ :מגרמניה ,אוסטריה, ואיטליה חבל !!!

[m2a2r2i2k2]

@ronansex חח צירוף מקרים שכולם היו באותו צד במלחמת העולם השניה? :P

[2011respect]

I just can't stop listening to this song!!! Israel is truly amazing.

[pplrliving]

the year i was born in...!!

[kobi005]

If half the voters knew what they were singing they would have won

[cryingonion2]

where did it come? should have done well i think.

[OrVirushalayim]

@cryingonion2

It came third, behind Carola from Sweden and Amina from France. But the song almost won, and it was supposed to win the ESC 1991. It is the Italian jury's decision to boycott it at the last minute which changed the outcome of the contest.....

[cryingonion2]

thanks for the info. It should have won I think!

[LUFTHAN2A]

בעברית בלבד ובלי התרפסות, שיר ישראלי אמיתי.

[ronansex]

this is the best song in the esc 1991 !!!

[maitree001]

This should have won in 1991 - and it looked like the winner till the very last minutes of the voting ! ( Watch the voting 1991 on YouTube) Sad greetings from Germany...I know what we´ve done and I´m ashamed.

[rotemsh1]

@maitree001

israel love germany man!

have great day!

fuck nazis no matter where are they from!

[eitanefrat]

im ashamed!! 

[OrVirushalayim]

@eitanefrat

by what?

[loadoro]

Hello! Thank you for posting this beautiful song in here. I love it even though I don't understand what they're saying. The music is beautiful.  I was a kid when I listened to it for the first time at the Eurovision 1991 and I remember it like it was yesterday. I was so mad when the lady from SWEDEN (I believe her name was Karola) won because I truly wanted this couple to be the winners. Regards for U.S.A.

[Nattugglan7]

I love Orna and Moshe Datz and their songs. And this is special. I like that the song tells a story. I love Israel and I'm sad that media today is so false about Israel. They need more support from people around theese days than ever before. So...Shalom to all of Israel from me and my family from Finland. :)

[OrVirushalayim]

@Nattugglan7

Thanks for your kind words :-)

And yes, this song should have won the 1991 contest. It was actually supposed to be the winner.....until some voting committees were "unpleased" by the translation they received.....

[Manne18]

R.I.P Uzi

[montezoma]

I can't see anything middle eastern in this song, clearly shows that Israel is alien to the region.

Nice song btw

[itachi301989]

@montezoma you mean theyre not riding camels and stoning women?

[montezoma]

@itachi301989 No.

I mean look at the guy, he looks russian. and the music itself has east European style

[itachi301989]

@montezoma its called multiculturalism, but yeah youre right, other middle eastern countries are pretty much oblivious to that term :)

[Nattugglan7]

Jews come from all of the world now back to Israel,but this man is named Moshe and just looking at his face you know that he is a jew. :) All my blessings to that family!

[1kinahu]

they don't come "back"...thats a big fat lie

[Nattugglan7]

@1kinahu Then wen know where you stand...and you sound a little aggressiv :)

[DivyaPreity4ever]

@1kinahu they came back....Its written in the bible and the quran.....

[XactFilms]

@Nattugglan7

your spreading a false propaganda.

[omritoker]

@itachi301989 I hope you're just kidding. X_X

Israel isn't Iran or Saudi Arabia. It's a western, modern democracy.

We also actually have gay rights. (With everyone around us going WTF?!)

[itachi301989]

@omritoker what do you mean? i was defending israel

[thatsnazzyappleguy]

i met the guy on the plane to israel to atlanta yesterday

[Genners111]

oh man I haven't heard this song since I lived there! nearly 20 years... all us kids were karaoke-ing to it!!! memories...

[pandzida98765]

Winner

[ralphundfrank]

Great!

[innawein1]

[to2088]

איזה שיר מרגש

[ESCTorsten]

This one should have won

[brigite24]

sublime bravo ,,,je vous admire

[divonj1]

I'm Israeli, and this makes me overjoyed and proud. At first I didnt like it; however, it grows on you as it builds; then, it's great!!!

[soccersj93]

this is the first time ive heard this song, and it gives me goosebumps. i LOVE it. should have won.

i usually love eurovision songs with strong endings, haha. :)

[yenglo25]

reminds me of the tetres song

[OrVirushalayim]

Israel should have won the 1991 contest. Orna & Moshe Datz did not win only because of political reasons, as was even explained in the Italian newspaper "Corriere della sera" the following day. But this is not so important anyway.... What it terribly sad about this song is that the very gifted composer and lyricist died in 2004 from a heart attack at 52 :-(

[spepseslsesp]

@OrVirushalayim Just out of curiosity, can you describe what the Italian newspaper said? Thanks!

[OrVirushalayim]

The day before the contest, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera announced that Israel would almost surely win. Contrary to the report, the Italian jury gave Israel 0 point instead of the anticipated 12..... According to the report, the decision to boycott Israel's entry was due to the "too patriotic" nature of the song and to an allusion made to the Palestinians. It is interesting to note that the only 3 countries to give this song 0 points were Germany, Austria and Italy.

[OrVirushalayim]

@spepseslsesp

The Hebrew word "kan" means "here". In the first stanza Orna Datz sings "Here is my home, here I was born, in the plain along the sea. Here are the friends with whom I grew up. And I have no other place in the world." In the final stanza, they sing "Here I set my table, a piece of bread and a fresh flower. I opened my door to the neighbors, and to those who come I will say Hello".

With no political interference, the 1992 ESC would have taken place in Jerusalem.

[ziongo24]

@OrVirushalayim its the mining

[OrVirushalayim]

@ziongo24

the mining?

[brigite24]

J'ADOREEEEEE BRAVO ISRAEL

[KnightOnE5Square]

Anyone has a mp3 link of the studio version?

[stigbjorn]

@KnightOnE5Square

I have the song in mp3 (studio version) but no link :/ Maybe I can send it on e-mail?

[Sileeee56]

Greetings from Romania! Israel has almost always beautiful song in ESC!

[1980rosix]

Israel's songs are always one of my favourite. especially this one. greetings from portugal

[tonelill]

my all time favourite =)

[fansham]

Très belle chanson ! Rien à dire ISRAEL tu es unique ! pays très puissant dans tous les domaine, ISRAÊL est pousuivie par des jaloux ! ne feront pas face car DIEU est avec ! GOG BLESS ISRAEL / FRANCE / MAROC.

[mattswede]

This is a masterclass and blueprint for any Eurovison entry. Amazing song, choreographed, the correct half tune up in the end but before the last chorus. The chorus coming out and in front to form a beautiful choreographed line and in different clothes. What can one say. Israel only perfected the formula from the winning entry of "Halleluja" which apart from ABBA's winning is the masterful serenity and superiority...

[JerusalemHolyLand]

wonderful song

[nmgscp]

It has a very good melody but the lyrics are political. France should have won!

[6666ritchie]

שיר מאוד טוב וחשוב לי ולמשפחה שלי מאת:ויטלי

[AvivaRutti]

effe meot:) toda:)

[Ms14787]

הכן שיר מדהים

[MrPirroEpirit]

Is true,this was the first eurovision festival after the fall of comunism in Albania.I remember very well this song even was years ago,but was my favorite.Very happy to listen it again.Regards from Albania....

[stealclaw]

@MrPirroEpirit me to albanian. and i remember this song. Love this. Love Israel. Am Israel Chai

[sacrumillyricum]

Shalom from another Albanian. A really really great song. Brings me back in time, with a very pleasant nostalgy. Great job Israel. Brotherly greetings.

[TheAlegio]

Greetings from Albanian. Pershendetje nga Shqiperia. Ka qene festivali i pare europian qe kam ndjekur ne televizionin Shqiptar. Me kujtohet shume mire qe publiku shqiptar e pelqeu kete kenge dhe e kendonim duke bere kan e na na nanann.... sepse nuk dimin te shqiptonim fjalet. E ripashe me shume kenaqesi.

[debiNise]

greetings from portugal!

i love this song, i was 5 years old in 1991 and i couldn't stop dancing listening to it :D (i wish i could understand the lyrics).

[annamobi4]

Was bitte soll an dem Text rassistisch sein ??? Patriotisch - ja, aber es gibt auch genügend deutsche patriotische Lieder. Na, und wie die armen Palästinenser mit Raketen und Selbstmordanschlägen den jüdischen Staat auszulöschen versuchen, das darf man aus Gründen von political correctness nicht erwähnen, gell?

[ronansex]

the best songs :israel,greece,france,spain,be­lgium !!!!!!!

[pianoplayer1977]

What a good song. I forgot how the winner sounded, but this I remembered.

[MeckieNRW]

Eingängiger Sound. Aber als Deutscher sollte man so nen rassistischen Text bringen.

Würde gleich jeder Aufschreien..... darf doch nicht sein.

Aber irgendwie haben die Israeli's nen Extra-Satus... morden fleissig Palistinänser ab ... aber dagegen darf man ja nix sagen.

[leonardnyc12]

Great song

[Rolpet]

best eurovision song ever

[majarogan]

Greeting from Serbia...lovely song ...orna datz is famme fatal

[Sileeee56]

Greetings from Romania! Very nice song!

[princessofDanmark]

Hi from Iceland I hope someone here can help me. I have been looking for a few years of Eurovision on cd the years i am serching for are 1956 untill 1985. If someone wants to help me please feel free to contact me. Thank you

[casinopoker]

Made in 1991, and ten times better than all songs during these days at the Eurovision.

[alonal17]

what a memories when we were 16.... Great song for all the times!

[ronansex]

kan .....the best song in esc 1991 !!!

[3000centrifuges]

basoom1000@ your English is Excellent!

[javiersway]

una de las maravillas de internet creia que nunca volveria a ver este video que lo vi como 500 veces cuando tenia 11 años

[dadarobinson]

Toda la razón, esta canción marcó una época de mi vida. Me saqué la letra (tal y como la oía) y hoy en día sigo sabiéndomela. Se me han saltado las lágrimas viendo el video.

[patbob23]

They sure deserved the 1st place that day.

[Manne18]

should have won greetings from sweden

[verkaforever]

I like it!  Israel nearly always puts a good song into ESC.

[Miki138]

@verkaforever you are right, every song from Israel is really great! (except one in 2000)

[verkaforever]

@Miki138 Israel 2000 was weak, I admit. Have you got a favourite Israeli entry? Mine is probably 1998 on balance, but it's a close call- 1983, 1988, 1991 and 2001 were all excellent.

[Miki138]

@verkaforever ohhhh, hard question ! ! i love soooo,so many Israeli entries. Let's start with Ofra Haza in 1983 ( i see u like it too), next is Yerdena Arazi in 1988 i guess. hmmm "hallelujah" in 1979. and u know what, Dana International was not as good as Shiri Maimon in 2005 (it's of course only my opinion:)) and i really like this entry in 1991 but i also like Boaz Mauda in 2008. can't forget about hottie who is Harel Skaat :))

[verkaforever]

@Miki138 Ofra Haza was AMAZING! It is a crime her song did not win in my opinion.

[Miki138]

@verkaforever oh yeah, she is queen of Eurovision. My mother told me, that everyone knew this song better than the one that won. What is your favoutite entry ever in esc history?

[verkaforever]

@Miki138 I have a weakness for novelty entries. My favourite ESC song of all time is DEFINITELY Ukraine 2007. That is why my user name is "verkaforever"- after Verka Serduchka, the singer.

[Miki138]

@verkaforever hahaha, i love it. it is so funny. but most of all i love Serbia& Montenegro in 2004 with Lane Moje. i just can't describe what i feel when i listen to this song. MASTERPIECE

[verkaforever]

@Miki138 I have to confess I don't like that kind of song very much. I prefer the more lively songs. But you are entitled to your opinion. You will understand how frustrated I was when Verka came second, because if I remember rightly, "Lane Moje" also came second.

[Miki138]

@verkaforever exactly, it was second. i wanted "lane moje" to win so badly! And i like this kind of music, because it shows part of culture. Eurovision is about sharing culture,language and emotions and that's exactly what Balkan countries (almost every year) and Israel doing.

[Shanniquitie]

georgina and paul were better!!

but this song is good too

[montezoma]

Russian music and people, can't find anything middle eastern in here !

[BamenYaros]

try 2008 Lol Boaz Mauda = Yemenite Chant Lol

[BamenYaros]

more like try almost any other year dumbass Israel sent Mizrahim in 1978, 79, 83, 85, 87, 88, 88, 90, 92, 97, 8, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009 so yur dumb
