lyrics
and tune: Nomi Shemer's first hit 1957 |
This is
one of the old songs, I still love very much, which is no longer sung in Israel. Even on the Internet I could find only a piece of it and I hope my memory has completed the rest Even in 2010 I found only one - bad -performance |
|
On
April 8, 2010 I found the entire song |
The way is long and much, much All are walking on the way till its end, its end all are walking on the way till its bitter end but I, I am marching alone, alone halleluja, hallelu (praise Ya, praise) I don't want a house for me with a field, a field I don't want a house for me with a green field for all my reward is your voice which answers, answers for all my reward is your voice which answers with laughter My voice sings, my voice sings but you are an echo to it halleluja, halleluja, hallelu woe to the song, woe to song if it doesn't have an echo halleluja, halleluja, hallelu The strange phrasing: "long and much, much" may be based on the wordplay in Eliyah's deepest learning experience! Eliayah: "I have enough" (rav), the angel: "Much (rav) is still the way!" |

Mika
and her friends: "I want to know all the children of the world" Here she prevents Keshet (rainbow) to run towards the road with its cars. Mika and the World: Here she follows the TV reality series: A star is born The last event was too late for her to stay up. When - first thing in the morning - she asked me: "Who became the Star? " and I told her: "Diana!" she said: "I'm glad! I wanted her to win! But Ohad (one of the 3 finalists) --- he didn't feel hurt, did he?"

continuation of the story about a new relationship
Since Mika and May are neighbors, I didn't need to bother
Efrat to fetch us.
We drove home with May and Na'ama, her mother.
Again Mika holds hands with her friend and then shows her the door to her
building.
Sella 9! Didn't I once live in "Bethel St. 9"?
My first and only rented flat after my divorce and before I moved into my
mobile home.
During those 4 1/2 years I completed raising my children, "until the
youngest would be half a year in the army", which was in 1985.
The friends parted - happy and fulfilled - but not for long. Already the next
day Efrat would invite May and her mother to visit us.
"And it became evening |
In the
evening the great finale of the three months program "A Star is Born" was to take place in Jerusalem. Mika begged, begged, begged to be allowed to stay awake. Still after brave fighting with sleep, her eyes closed. Imma took the red cushion from my bed and put it under Mika's head . In the morning Mika came to me and on the already ordered bed, with the red cushion among the other cushions and made fun with a cushion. But only after she had asked me: "Who won?" |
See, what I put for you under the poster which we prepared yesterday!" And I explained the three species, which she didn't know well, the myrtle, the palm-frond and a twig the resembled a willow. |
She likes to eat her cereals on the veranda, but as occurs to her more than often, she spilled the milk. So she hurried to the kitchen to bring a rag to clean it up, before Imma would detect her blunder . In this case I too wanted to avoid this and discretely removed the wet pages of the local newspaper... |
One of the biggest fan of "A Star is Born" is
Mika.
Her identification with the competitors is unbelievable.
Since she fell asleep the night before
and did not see the glorious Finale,
Imma promised her to record the show,
and that between the end of kindergarden
and the beginning of her ballet-lesson
she could watch.
Efrat, too, was fascinated by Mika's fascination,
so much so, that when I took a few photos of the screen,
she said: "But look at Mika, look at Mika!"
When Diana learnt that she was The Star, her eyes filled with tears. |
Mika is still attached to the screen, though now
she wears her ballet-suit.
And after the ballet, in which also May participated,
who comes to visit?
May!
I don't remember what Mika showed May on "my"
computer,

During the night from Sunday, Sept.5
, to Monday, Sept 6, Abba came home,
and as usual - there was great love and joy among father and daughter.
Since just before Mika detected Abba in his bed,
she asked her mother:
"what will Abba say, if he see's Grandma's haircut-like-a-boy"?
I asked Efrat to take a photo of mother and son, so as to check,
if we really look so similar to each other, as people claimed,
even before we had the same hair-cut.
