Shiri Maimon - When You're Sad Live
WHEN YOU'RE SAD
I will fight the strongest army in the world
for you
My only real hope in my life
I get from you.
When you are sad
suddenly I don’t feel
like being happier
If there is a stone in your heart
that went through your calmness
I am lying flat
in front of your room
hurting and not relaxed
Sending you consolations in my heart
When you are sad
when you are sad
I will fight the strongest army in the world
for you
My only real hope in my life
I get from you.
Please, always be smiling
When you are sad
It's as if I don’t exist.
If you only smile to me
even when you don’t feel like it
I will ride on the road
I will become a king
If you only smile.
All my troubles will disappear in a minute
My happiness will come back
and I will not see your tears
If you only smile
if you only smile.
I will fight the strongest army in the world

Hatikvah by Barbra Streisand
Subliminal - Tikvah "Hope"
I saw how many they went
Too many of them did not return
Friends separated, houses broken,
tears of families spilled
Buds of people flowers that didn't flower
The hope in our heads, the love in our hearts,
the dream in our spirits so we continue in our path.
The silence has disappeared for it, again sounds of war
Another soldier returns, wrapped in what? In the flag of the country
Blood and tears absorbed by the land
And another shocked mother is left with just a picture
The hope is locked in the heart, the strong nation will not fold over
Because the son of a bitch that can stop Israel has not been born.
Give me the hope to accept what there isn't
The strength to change what there is.
Come let's continue, our life is in front of us
It's not late because tomorrow is a new day
The dream will perish if we lose the hope
So reach out to love.
You promised a dove, in the sky there's a hawk
Brother, poisonous twig pricks, this is not an olive branch
Living in a dream, everybody talks about peace
But they shoot, oppress, pull, squeeze the trigger
In a world of suicide attacks, the people are still talking
Living in an illusion of righteousness,
they widen the rift in the nation.
Pass madness every day in order to survive
Don't want to live in order to fight,
Sub fights in order to live
Plant hope, sends out roots
Shield in my body for the dream
so it won't be shattered to splinters
Enough, enough with the hurt, enough with the tears
A year that the land bleeds not sleeping, and why?
Give me the hope to accept what there isn't
The courage to try to fix.
Come let's continue, our life is in front of us
It's not late because tomorrow is a new day
The dream will perish if we lose the hope
So reach out to love.
G-d, give me the hope to accept what there isn't
Give me the strength to change what is
Give me the courage to try to fix the world.
Come let's continue, our life is in front of us
It's not late because tomorrow is a new day
The dream will perish if we lose the hope
So reach out to love.

Jedan... kraj trilogije Subliminalovih glazbenih uradaka: Savršeno mjesto
HaMakom HaMushlam - The Perfect Place
by Subliminal ft. Sivan
I'm always in the air
Buffeted about like a leaf in the wind
Around me everything flies by
And only I am standing here, my place insecure
So I dream of the perfect place
Of a warm home, time without end
A place in which all is calm
But I'm swept away with all of the world's pressures
And so the moment disappears,
And nothing is known
So come tell me how to live here, it’s expensive and over the top
And the only thing in abundance is baseless hatred
Come tell me how we're not ashamed
Today they'll even hire foreign workers for a minyan*
So come tell me how another millennium went by
I feel like we haven't even crossed the desert yet
Come tell me where is the blue & white?
Where's the leader who sees the big picture?
Why's water from abroad and petrol diluted?
There's an unbearable heat but troubles come in a flood
Political assassination, brutality at every age
Drugs and car accidents, the polluted [River] Kishon
When will the rains turn to the Negev?
Or tears of joy replace tears of sadness?
Or the state once more have some respect -
Have a constitution or courts, or a train network that works?
We’re running in a circle, no way to escape
From the walls of the temple to the security wall
It all repeats itself, God help us!
Like a puppet an entire people is dancing to the piper
It’s 2006, I live and am ashamed
That the army of defence is called the army of occupation
An invading army, how are we not ashamed?
We’re spitting in the very well that we drink from
So I dream of the perfect place...
For my nation is all at odds with itself
And I can’t find myself at all
It took us so long to establish what we dreamed of -
Suddenly it's fallen
(x2)
So I dream of the perfect place…
Još Jedan spot novootkrivenog Subliminala: Živim od dana do dana
LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY
I HAVE NO OTHER COUNTRY
'Cuz people don't understand
I don't stop, we continue
the most nervous, edgy Israelis
already a thousand in the zone, f* the $
I'm fighting just to satisfy the want
I carry words on me like a weapon
another page and we'll finish the chapter
when will we stop living like ***
A year of 'Lamalini' from the start of Shevat
the state is swinging like
a cigarette in Arafat's mouth
everyone's running with a lighter
russian (f.) yelling "bliat"
supreme justice - crooked/distorted
NOW WHAT?
from religion they made a sect
I'm searching for a bombshelter
because there's a fanat(ic) on every side
rat-tat-tat-tat
what happened the economy is stopped?
Everything is amateur, what glitters
turned to be matte
WHAT THE BLOOT CLOT
what is going on here
if something works, show me where.
I live from day to day
I don't got to any place
a day passes another comes
and nothing has changed.
The clock does not stop
tomorrow will be here soon
and just the tune resides;
I have no other country.
Revolution, turning over like 69
today, yes, the crime pays off
I hang out in the streets,
search for essence
but 'everything repeats buddy'
like a scratched tape
and the inflation is already "monster-ness"
widens like Epilepsy
what is integration?
da system's manipulation
and you wait that something'll stop da pain
like a 9mm bullet inside the heart
we are moving targets
there are no bills, no problems, nonsense
promises, what are they written in
dreaming with open eyes for relief
f* the ministry of relief! bread is work
pictures screaming sirens and town councils
even in the "Hood of Hope" they lost all hopes
I get down on my knees 'Please God'
here it comes (who comes?)
zinzanaaaah!
I live from day to day...
Yo, I live from day to day
ask me where we got to, we got nowhere
I live in a country without peace
everyone is drowning in a dream
falling and not seeing the end of the abyss
but the struggle continues
feeling of guilt for all spilled blood
for each innocent that's killed
for each soldier that's sent
for each brother that's not forgotten
for each leader that stunk
each tiny error that bewilders a whole nation
each expelled commander it's a dirty world
and not every step that's made is successful
in a crushed journey, salvo to salvo (range)
and here they still try to speak
to the heart of a man of tin(can)
I'm jailed in a cell in green uniform
guaring a nation that shoots me in the face
surrounded by friends, eaten up by movies*
War code, going down from the lines, shooting
fields of flowers in T.A.
turned to a jungle of concrete
and the stronger survives, right,
that's the principle
everything's drawn from the hip, no sense here
'cuz people are getting filled with lead
like pencils
and I live from day to day
(all) the ideas are sold out
there's no food to give to young chicklets
and we're all people, we're all guilty
that the situation is "on the face."**
I live from day to day...
Jedan... vrlo tužan video spot: Dijete s ulice
prijevod:
STREET CHILD
ANOTHER DAY ENDS IN FEAR
Another day ends in fear...
This is a story about a street kid
that didn't learn to love
he learned only to beat and steal
'cuz there's no more good people
in the middle of the road
the opposite - today people kill for money
disease that's spread to paper
when you have a lot you become happy
but you forgot the meaning long ago
you are a narc, on cold, hard cash
squeezed, seems like you have no juice in you
inject another check & shekel to your pocket
everything suddenly seems the same
you sold yer life
for the size of a number
and nothing's left
you simply wanted more and didn't know why
when you had already very much
you wanted some more
bills from wall to wall, under the rugs
and when it got cold out, you froze inside.
Another day ends in fear, I can't sleep
another night unsatisfied, looking for a place
Another day ends in fear, I can't sleep
another night unsatisfied, looking to just love.
Another lout pretending to be the man*
not succeeding in the world, gotta survive
satan on one shoulder, angel on the other
not really present, he's beaten, 69 revol'n
he holds the holster, gun ready for action
living in an illusion, more like a metaphore
they don't give - you take,
they beat you - you murder,
16 yrs. completed for a lad without being led
dummy he thought he'll live for eternity
he didn't expect a bullet in the forehead
stabs and tears, cemeteries,
nightmares
the gang's girls are w*s
all are hot-tempered, players of strength
another lad picked just as he began to bloom
don't say 'pity' another child's a criminal
you finished the university of life
with the degree "zichrono liv'rachah"
(of blessed memory)
Another day ends...
"absorbents" with big eyes don't have girls
don't have money, place to live, or class
gold around the neck - (arabic)
and the whole world keeps a distance from you
the sky's the limit
and as much as you jump ya won't get there
but you shed sabotage clothes without sweat
indeed everything has a price
even life, just flash some cash
I said there's not a monopoly, you'll fall
in this disease one doesn't fight fading
suddenly different things happen
the door creaks, steps,
lights flicker, you are in a maze grid!
Easy money exists only in movies, fantasies
and sometimes in the underworld too
your scratch became a real wound
they call it passion of dirty gains.
Another day ends...
Monkey see, monkey do, grab cover
weight your steps well before the job
watch out, don't grab a bullet in the head kid
liberate yourself donkey, don't be difficult
stuborn like a mule
it's important, think again before you return
pity, it'll be another sad story
'cuz sometimes you're up, sometimes down
so you don't end up
with a face from wind over Balata
for he who clicks the trigger first, lights up
"he's dead?" no! in jail til' his last day
he's "baller brawler", pimp, a shot-caller*
go you dummy, he ran, you won't win the gun
he thought he had a back(bone)
but a tail got his back
lifted his feet, flew, ran away, left him
inside, everyone knows you have balls
just don't end up like a porn on the face*
