De qué habla

Una canción irónica sobre una joven aburrida en un kibutz, que ve guerras en la televisión y se siente deprimida. Su receta es simple, ser feliz, y además tiene un nuevo amigo de Damasco, un guiño a la paz en la región.

Letra

Kol hayom ani yoshevet bakibutz
Bayad sigar veze margish li ktzat khamutz
Kol hazman rak dika'on veshi'amum
Im lo egmor, ze yigamer mamash bebum

Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy
Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy

Kol hayom batelevizya milkhamot
Ube'Ostralia shuv hitkhilu shitfonot
Hine ba hadika'on shel yom rishon
Ani rotza, ani rotza melafefon

Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy
Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy

Veyesh li akhshav khaver khadash mi Damesek
Khshe'ani atzuva, hu sholeakh li vered adom
Ze lo khokhma le'ehov rak ksheyesh lekha kheshek
Ani rotza la'asot et ze ito kol hayom

Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy
Oh, oh, be happy, oh, oh, be happy
