RAK B'YISRAEL(2)

Kol hayom ani babayit, hasibah p'shutah
kol hamedinah babayit, ein po avodah
yesh meduzot al hachof
ufitzutz besh'chem
od rotzim oti shafui ech zeh yitachen

Rak ba'aretz, rak ba'aretz, rak beyisrael
hat'mimut hazot ovedet rak beyisrael
mah koreh po lo yadu'a gam lamemshalah
uvatua'ch al batu'ach anachnu am nifla.
Rak ba'aretz, rak ba'aretz, rak beyisrael
hat'mimut hazot ovedet rak beyisrael

Yesh li mechonit k'tanah, ein li chanayah
kol tiyul katan ba'ir, yesh do'ach al hashimshah
im hasinim kvar osim li
avodah ivrit
kol hasimanim ma'rim al i sh'fiyut zmanit

Rak ba'aretz...

ONLY IN ISRAEL

The whole day I'm home, the reason is simple
the whole country's home, there's no work here
there are jelly fish on the sand
and an explosion in Nablus
they still want me to be sane how can this be

Only in The Land, only in The Land, only in Israel
this simplicity works only in Israel
what goes on here is not known even to the gov't
and what's certain is we're a wonderful nation
Only in The Land, only in The Land, only in Israel
this simplicity works only in Israel

I have a little car, and no parking spot
each tiny city trip there's a ticket on the windshield
if the chinese are already doing
Hebrew work for me
all the signs show the temporary insanity.

Only in The Land...
