Excerpt from the documentary “Global Metal”

Excerpt from a documentary about PR (Palestinian Rapperz)




DAM, “Kahn Noladeti” (Born here)

Orna and Moshe Datz “Kahn Noladeti” (Born here)

Here is my home, here I was born

On the plain by the sea

Here are the friends I grew up with

And I have no other place in the world

Here is my home, here I would play

In the lowlands by the mountainside

Here I drank water from the well

And I planted grass in the desert

Here I was born, here my children were born

Here I built my home with my own two hands

Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends

And after two thousand years, an end to my wandering.

Nomi Shemer–SLI classic–Eucaliptus Grove

When mother came here
Beautiful and young
Then father built for her
A house on a hill
Years have passed
Half a century is gone.
The curly hair turned
White meanwhile.
But on shore of the Jordan river
It is as if nothing has happened
The same silence and also
The same beauty.
The eucalyptus grove
The bridge and the rowboat
and the salty scent of the water….
