His music and his voice are absolutely amazing.

The only sad thing is (I think) that I can't find the lyrics, in the language he sings in.

Has anyone got any idea where to find these(all the lyrics from the CD Aurora)?

It would contribute a great deal to my enjoyment if I could sing a bit along with it.

Thanks in advance!!

El Hatzipor (1)

Hagam sham ba'aretz ha-chama, hayafa,

Tirbeina ha-ra'ot, hatla'ot?

Hayered kifninim hatal al har charmon

Im yered veyipol kidama'ot?

Umah shlom hayarden umeimav habehirim?

Ushlom kol heharim, ha-geva'ot?

Umah shlom hayarden umeimav habehirim?

Ushlom kol heharim, ha-geva'ot?

[andiros]

El Hatzipor (2) Kvar kaloo hadma'ot, kvar kaloo hakitsim, Velo hekitz haketz al yegoni, Shalom rav shuvech, tzipori hayekara, Tzahali na kolech va'roni! Shalom rav shuvech, tzipori hayekara, Tzahali na kolech va'roni! Ha-tis'i li shalom me'achai betzion, Me-achai ha-rechkoim ha-krovim? Hoi me'usharim! Ha-yed'u yado'a, Ki esbol, hoi esbol mach'ovim? Ha-yed'u yado'a ma rabu po sotanai, Ma rabim hoi rabim li kamim? Zamri, tzipori, nifla'ot me'eretz, Ha'aviv ba inveh olamim.

[andiros]

El Hatzipor (3) Ha'tis'i li shaliom mizimrat ha'aretz, Me'emek, migai, merosh harim? Haricham, ha-nicham elo'ah et tzion, Im oday azuvah likvarim? Ve'emek hasharon veiv'at halevonah - Ha'yitnu et moram, et nirdam? Ha-hekitz mishnato hasav ba'ye'arim, Ha-levanon ha-yashen, ha-nirdam? Hayered kifninim hatal al har charmon Im yered veyipol kidama'ot? Umah shlom hayarden umeimav habehirim? Ushlom kol heharim, ha-geva'ot?

El Hatzipor (4)

Kvar kaloo hadma'ot, kvar kaloo hakitsim,

Velo hekitz haketz al yegoni,

Shalom rav shuvech, tzipori hayekara,

Tzahali na kolech va'roni!

(Sorry, these lyrics aren't quite right, because they are the traditional complete version. But I hope you'll enjoy them anyway /Shalom, andiros)

Excelent version from Bialik`s poem" el hatzipor". I enjoy it with my frends from southamerica. Avishai is amazing!!!

He has an amazing voice

How does he play the bass and sing at the same time?!

Amazing!

The piano player player is great too!(what's his name?)
