Kate Bush Army Dreamers VS Mazi Cohen Shem Baeven

This is Kate Bush's video of Army dreamers which I edited to fit to a remake done by Israeli singer Mazi Cohen. The song by Mazi Cohen has been renamed to Shem Baeven (Name On Stone) which means the name engraved in tombstone. The words have also been changed. Below is the translation from Hebrew to English:
From the smoke of cannons,
he comes back to me, carried forward,
I'm waiting with bouquet of flowers,
to decorate mummy's hero
you're cold, the day is warm
the mourning lies in the home-port,
four men wearing uniform,
carries you, an olive leaf

He who was won't be a rock star
still hadn't learn to play the guitar
he who was won't go too far,
a boy who just left school,
he who was won't calm down a baby
because he hadn't lived even twenty years
and now he is a name in stone

sound of tears on the coffin
he hadn't known
the sound of victory
the ground always muffles
give the child to choose
glory marks or marks of value
there in the dark pit
where is right or wrong?

I think that this version (I mean this video) of epic song is bullshit.

@avarie777 I think you're an idiot! Kate is an ICON, and the fact that her music obviously has touched someone in another country such as Israel is amazing! Don't comment if you're going to be a "DOUCHE"!!!

YERY good! Have been to Israel last year...and know that it´s a beautiful country.. it´s a pity that both sides can not find a way to get along...got to know a young guy who had to go to army, and so in the original language, this would be fitting very well..hope in hebrew too, but musically it sounds very good!

I thought that everyone has done everything with Her songs, but this video proves that I was wrong.

I'm very glad that I'm erroneous :D

I cried a little...

Rest In Peace, to all those countless soldiers (and civilians) who have lost their lives for petty politics. Such a waste of life, for all nations.

Mazi Cohen really has an amazing voice. Kate Bush stands out when she sings it because she makes it so... quiet, if that's the right word. Mazi sings it deep and... agh, I can't put my finger on the right word in English. The different voices is like listening to two different kind of grief. Both are touching beyond words.

Greeeaaat!

Another way to expose Kate's creativity as composer (She's not only a very talented singer)

Thank you for the translation.

[goodtimetone]

good eh?

[OfraHaza]

Will see what I can do to get these translated back into Heberew! LOL I couldn't find it anywhere.....

[wildfemale]

Thanks. I hesitated a bit as I thought that You may treat this as offensive-which I obviously didn't intend.

I don't speak Hebrew, but can You put words in this language here as well?- out of pure curiosity;)
