      @SimsMoyal Год назад +16

      Consider the fact that Turkey didn't award any points to Israel in all the 80's and the only country to do so while giving Luxembourg 12 points - i would say this won.
      nevertheless the song is a victory of it self to Israel and they Jewish people singing the Israel is alive in the very same spot that 50 years earlier the Nazi party raised to power that annihilated the Jews was and 11 years earlier 11 of the participants to the Olympic games in Munich from Israel was murdered.

    Listen my friends
    I’m still alive!
    And my eyes still look upon the light
    I have many thorns but also flowers
    There are many years a head of me
    Let me just ask and pray
    Hope has not been lost!
    A psalm keeps going
    From one generation to anther
    Like a fountain
    Of eternity
    Let me ask and pray
    Hope has not been lost! (In Hebrew: it is good that hope was not lost).
    Chai Chai Chai (in Hebrew “alive”)
    Yes I’m still alive
    That is the song
    That grandpa has yesterday sung to dad
    And today, I am still alive
    I’m am still alive alive alive
    The people of Israel are still alive
    That is the song that grandpa has yesterday sung to dad
    And today I am ...
    My days are busy and so are my nights
    I can see ahead of me the pillar of fire rising still
    I will sing until eternity
    I will spread my hands
    To my friends across the sea
    I shall ask and pray
    Hope has not been lost!
    Chai, Chai, Chai...

    38 years after the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jewish people on earth, Ofra Haza stood on the Eurovision stage in Munich, Germany, along with 5 other escorts dressed in yellow, a memorial to the yellow badge - and a total of 6 on stage, a memorial to the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust , And sang the words of Ehud Manor "Live, live, live, yes, I am still alive" to the German people and to the whole world.
    I think this is one of the craziest events, not in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, not in the history of the Jewish people, in the history of all mankind. When they tried to destroy him, he stood on a stage in the country that tried to destroy him, and sang to him, in free words, "Zubi on you and on your face, I'm still alive, youre plan did not go, a 'final' solution, you will make pickles, this is the song Grandpa sang to Dad yesterday, And now I, here, live, there is no Your Pace. '
    Whenever I think that something is impossible, that something can not be done, that there is no hope, I remember this amazing moment, and realize that not only are we a strong people, and not only that we, as my father says, "do not remember, but also do not forget", we have Even the best sense of humor in history, and that the best revenge, is served cold - and in poetry

    Hear my brothers
    I'm still alive
    And my two eyes still look toward the light.
    Many are my thorns
    But also my flowers
    and before me are countless years
    I'm asking
    and praying
    It's good that hope is not lost yet.
    A song passes
    from generation to generation,
    As an eternal spring
    I'm asking
    and praying
    It's good that hope is not yet lost.
    Alive, alive, alive
    Yes, I'm still alive.
    This is the song that grandpa
    Sang yesterday to dad
    And today It's me.
    I'm still alive, alive, alive,
    The people of Israel Live.
    This is the song that grandpa
    Sang yesterday to dad
    And today It's me.
    Loud are my days (alive, alive)
    And so are my nights (alive, alive)
    And in my skies, the pillar of fire still rises.
    I'll sing forever (alive, alive)
    I'll spread my hands (alive, alive)
    To my friends, who are beyond the sea
    I'm asking...
    Alive, alive, alive...
    I'm still alive, alive, alive...
    Hear my brothers
    I'm still alive
    And my two eyes still look toward the light.
    So hurray,
    To all my guests
    And to my sons, who ask to return
    I'm asking...
    Alive, alive, alive...
    I'm still alive, alive, alive,...
    Alive! (alive, alive)
    Alive! (alive, alive)
    Alive!
    I'm still alive, alive alive!

    *Hear my siblings*
    (shimo èhai)

    (Anee od Hai)
    *And both my eyes, still lifted towards light*
    (Ushtey eynuy, od nisà-ot la'or)
    Apart from the obvious meaning of Jewish people representing their young independent state despite the Nazi genocide, saying, not only you didn't annihilate all of us, you also didn't break my spirit or hope. There's also another sad and less aggrandized meaning; After the holocaust there was the radio and newspaper "Section of Seeking Relatives." A broadcaster or journal ads would name the surviving advertee, his contact and whereabout, and whom they seek 😢 Survivers in Israel would put the radio on listen with an iota of faith, hoping maybe their siblings or any relatives survived the Nazi death camps against all odds and are looking for them. A lot of families reunite that way. A lot didn't. The lyrics are also somewhat reminiscing of the Section of Seeking Relatives radio hour.
