HERE I COME
Here I comeHiney ani ba – בא הנה אני
Jerusalem - city that’s worth a bomb
Walk down the street feels like the ingathering of the exiles
1000 culturesEveryone has a brother and 9
sisters
Arabs – okay (beseder)Haredim in the Heder
And everyone picks up God on the radio
After Teddy Jerusalem declined fast
Day by day Tel Aviv shone brighter
Friends left or got close to the creator of the
Grey skiesBoring
No seaside
Thoughts of leaving
Took me three years to make the decision
Pack my stuff in the suitcaseFrom the village to the city
Going down…
Tel Aviv – Here I come! – Hiney Ani Ba!
I’m on my way – בא אני !הנהI’ve come to sweat – Hiney Ani
Ba!Because you’re the only one I
swear
Set off along the coast
What a shock I’m about to get
And now I’m finally in Tel Aviv
Become part of the scenery
Everything’s fresh and that’s good
Wow! How many breasts!Burnt my eyes
After two years of Sodom and Gemorrah
Don’t recognise myself in the mirror
I know mingle blend and hang with the owners of all the
discosNow that I’m ‘in’ realise it’s
not all glamour
So much noiseSo much soot
Give me lawns Give me a tree
All day spent on hello, shalom
The rent, money, the crazy humidity
Then I get itI had paradise in my hands
Thoughts of leaving
Took me three years to make the decision
Pack my sins in the suitcaseFrom the city to the village
In the direction of
Jerusalem – Here I come – Hiney Ani Ba!
Return to you – בא אני !הTo thy walls – Hiney Ani Ba!For you are the only one I
swear
Returned to Jerusalem Here the hummous is good for
sure Give me calm give me quiet
A bit of a yawn will do no harm
When was the last time I stuck a note in the Kotel?
Put time into cooking?Made new friends?
This city will give me back some control over my life
Blend in with myself instead of diluting water
Breathe in mountain airAs clear as wine
Yalla Betar!Yalla village life!The key is to be
happy
Here I come….
Tel Aviv – Here I come! – Hiney Ani Ba!
I’m on my way – בא אני !הנהI’ve come to sweat – Hiney Ani
Ba!Because you’re the only one I
swear
