Strawberries

Lyrics: Ze’ev Nechama
Melody: Ze’ev Nechama & Tamir Kalisky

The cold of your garden against the warmth of my garden
The bunker to your left against the cannon shell in my hand
Your grenade is not a fruit, and it’s ready in your hand,
in my cartridge they are ready one by one.

Light rises from the east, a new day has arrived.
Both of us will overcome the horror
Strawberries, strawberries, Let’s buy only strawberries
Instead of more machines of war.

You have blocked the bed with many bags of sand
On your head (there’s) a helmet from the bunker on the left
You wanted my soul to be bound forever*
But in my cartridge they are ready one by one.

Light rises from the east ...

May his soul be bound in the bind of the living
