SHALOM SALAAM PEACE

Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace it's possible here too
not just in Paris or Nice or Adis Abeba
disco's full of people
everyone dancing 'cuz everyone's content
smiling, dancing, singing,
blessing of peace
because there is
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace

Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace it's possible here too
not just in Paris or Tunis or in Nice Nice Nice
we'll rout out the enemies, we'll met the hostility
we'll defeat the terror, we'll spread love
Nobody wants to die but if one must
then isn't it prefereable in jeans
instead of a uniform
with the help of grass we'll take out the sadness
everyone can dance now
to live inside the beat

Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace it's possible here too
not just in Paris or Nice or in Amsterdam -
but here too - free people walk
do Tai Chi
open a box, aren't being afraid
of reserve duty call-up because peace is -
more than a ceasefire or a piece or a zone
peace is a feeling but that's not new
for sure, yes peace is
peace is tranquility
peace is fun*
and the whole world is tranquil.

So don't say a day will come, bring the day
and in all the city squares cheer for peace
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace
Shalom salaam peace it's possible here too
not just in Paris or Nice or Boston -
words could not explain to me
how much peace is needed - like air
peace is needed - like air...
peace is needed - like air...
peace is needed - like air...

Look my friend, peace is a must
I think this is clear for everybody
I've been and I've seen
In Australia people live in peace
"obviously" (why wouldn’t they) (ironic slang)
I mean just like kangaroo
And koala
In the world, each country with peace
Is a country sababa
And the one with no peace, is a chaos
And what's the big deal
I don’t know
All we need to do
Is to act like human beings
And not like animals

Look, gang, we need peace
and it's already quite clear to everyone
I think
I was (there) and I saw
in Australia people look good
they look like kangaroos like koalas
and totally...a land with peace is a fun land
and a land without peace is a land of foul mess*
so what's the big story I don't understand
after all, what's needed to do
is to behave like human beings
not like animals
to show some more respect
so then good luck to us all...
