Nashki oti chazak, nashki ad sheyich'av

because of one film, i went on an odyssey tonight looking for a 10-year old hebrew song.

last year, i had an obsession for this israeli film, walk on water. not only was it very subtle, it had so many layers to it as well. anyone within the metro manila area who wants a copy of it, better email me soon. hehe

however, what made me crazier about the film was not the film itself, but the soundtrack. if buffalo springfield's "for what it's worth" was hard enough finding on limewire, ask me about sivan shavit's "nashki oti (kiss me)." it was pretty much hell looking for it. but, well, i did. i think i invoked more probabilities (mathematical ones, take note) in this search experience than in anything else. i never thought math could come back to me like this, ever. hehe

the song should be playing in "hoy en la toca" anytime now. and because it's in hebrew, i'm throwing in the lyrics (and the translation as well). you'll see why it took me this long and this hard to find the song.

enjoy!

NASHKI OTI


Shneinu nos'im bamechonit
ani lo yoda'at le'an nagi'a
kshehahegeh nimtza bayadaim shelcha
atah tamid chayav lehafti'a
ani lo yecholah lehafsik
lehistakel al hapanim shelcha betoch hare'i
ve'ata margish kol tnu'ah
shole'ach letifah el hasfataim sheli.

Shneinu nos'im bamechonit
atah omer li haderech tihyeh arukah
ushe'ani yecholah lahiradem
acharei zeh tesaper li kol mah shekarah
ani lo yeshenah
soferet kochavim derech chorim basmichah
ve'atah im sigariah bapeh
shar li im haradio shir ahavah.

Nashki oti chazak
nashki ad sheyich'av
vehashemesh lo tishk'a
at achat veyechidah
ahuvati hamufla'ah
va'ani ohev otach.

Shneinu nos'im bamechonit
halevai sheyacholnu linso'a lanetzach
atah choshev she'ani
mizman kvar nirdamti velo makshivah
ech atah im sigariah bapeh
shar li im haradio shir ahavah.

Nashki oti chazak...




KISS ME


The two of us going in the car
I don't know where we'll arrive to
when the steering is in your hands
you always have to surprise (me)
I can't stop
to look at your face in the mirror
and you feel each movement
you send a caress to my lips.

The two of us going in the car
you say to me the road will be long
and that I can fall asleep
afterward you'll tell me all that happened
I am not asleep
I'm counting stars through the holes in support-frame
and you, with a cigarette in your mouth,
sing a song of love to me with the radio.

Kiss me strongly
kiss until it hurts,
and the sun won't set
you are one and only
my marvellous love
and I love you.

The two of us going in the car
if only we could go forever
you think that I've
already been asleep for a while and not listening
how you, with a cigarette in your mouth,
sing a song of love to me with the radio.

Kiss me strongly...

really really!!? someone else who loved that movie and especially that song so much? cool.
after i watched it in cinema (in 2005), i was up until 5am - until i had found the song as mp3 to download and the hebrew lyrics and the transcription and translation. and i can sing it now :)

did you see "the bubble" yet, eytan fox´s new movie? i saw it last week, i liked it a lot. only thing is, the music is not as entangling. and not hebrew.

cheers
from germany
