THE LAST WAR

 

 

Verse:
Beshem kol hatankistim uf'nayhem hame'ubakot
Asher avru et kol ha'esh vehash'chikot

Ve'eynayhem k'veydot mimelach vegalim

Chorus:
Ani mavti'ach lach, yalda sheli k'tana
Shezot ti'hyeh hamilchama ha'achrona

Verse:
Beshem hatayasim asher partzu el krav zo'eym
Venitzrevu ba'esh tilim ve'esh Nun Mem.
Beshem hatzanchanim shebeyn oferet ve'ashan
Ra'u otach, kemo mal'ach, me'al rosham

Chorus

Verse:
Beshem hatot'chanim asher beresek hap'gazim
Hayu amud ha'esh le'orech hachazit
Beshem chovshim rof'im shebenafsham ume'odam
Hichziru ru'ach vechayim, heyshivu dam

Chorus

Verse:
Beshem hakesharim asher kolam kara leylot
Beshem kol hagayasot vehachayalot
Beshem kol ha'avot asher halchu lakrav
Vesherotzim lashuv eylayich chazara

Chorus

Verse:
For all the tank corps soldiers with their dusty faces

Who survived all the enemy fire and gruelling fighting,

For all the sailors who attacked the ports,

Their eyes caked heavy with salt from the seas.

Chorus:
I promise you - my little girl,
That this will be the last war.

 

Verse:
For the pilots who broke through the deadly battle

And were hit by rocket fire and ac-ac guns,

For the paratroopers who, amid lead and smoke,

Saw you overhead, like an angel.

Chorus:

 

Verse:
For the artillerymen who, in the hailstorm of mortars

Stood like a pillar of fire along the frontline,

For the medics [and] doctors who, with all their soul and strength

Restored breath and life itself, returning blood.

 

Chorus:

Verse:
For the signalmen whose voice cut through the nights,

For all the forces[?] and women soldiers,

For all the fathers who went into battle

And want to return home to you...

Chorus:
