This song is the Israeli entry to the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC).

The winning song of 1978's Eurovision.
And it's the first time that Israel won the 1st place in the Eurovision Contest.

Yizhar Cohen and Alphabeta - "Ah-Bah-Nee-Bee".
-------------------------------------
lyrics: (Hebrew)

א-ב-ני-בי או-בו-ה-בב
א-ב-ני-בי או-בו-ה-בב או-בו-ת-בך.

כשהיינו ילדים
אהבנו בסודי סודות.
אל מי היינו נחמדים?
רק לדודים ולדודות.

והבנות המסכנות סבלו,
המתוקות הן רק מכות קיבלו.
ואת מה שהרגשנו באמת
לחשנו רק בשפת ה"בית".

א-ב-ני-בי...

אהבה,
היא מילה יפה,
היא תפילה יפה,
היא שפה.
אהבה,
היא אלי טובה,
היא תמיד תתגבר
ובשפת אהבה
נדבר.

א-ב-ני-בי...

אני חולם וקם שלוש מילים.
ומהו העולם? - שלוש מילים.
וזה מה שאני מרגיש כעת,
ממש כמו אז בשפת ה"בית".

א-ב-ני-בי...

    Hi, I am not sure what your name is and^perhaps you forgot posting this message a year ago, but hey I am french (so european), I think this song is great and I do believe the hebrew language rocks personnallY. I think every year the Isreal entry should sing in hebrew rather than english ... too many countries sing in english nowadays, it's such a shame. France always sing in french since the french are terrible with foreign languages, but for the same reasons they never win.

  • Israeli Eurovision singers condemned as 'traitors'... A Jew and an Arab lined up to be Israel's Eurovision Song Contest entry may have to pull out of the competition after suffering a torrent of abuse and condemnation. Israeli-Arab singer Mira Awad and Israeli-Jewish singer Achinoam Nini, who has performed with Sting, are under pressure from critics ranging from Right-wing Jews, to Palestinians and even Israeli peace campaigners. .. Maybe that's one reason why Israel will never again win the ESC

  • Bravo great song, Shalom Israel:)

    I remember this and I like it very much? in my childhood.

  • what is the liric? can anyone write in english?
