תחת שמי ים התיכון [Tahat shmei yam ha'tixon] [English translation]

under the mediterranean skies

the moon pauses, and folds

worries, says to me a man with a paint-brush

and paints you similar, either yes or no

now there is time to lay down

half the world takes a drug

shivers in my body, roxen song

i shiver from discrimination to

under the mediterranean skies

you had time to put on make-up and charm

going to the streets with a bit of confidence

returning with your tail curled between your legs

half the world is narrowly sustained

half the world hates half

shivers in my body

betting who is a foe and who is a friend

under the mediterranean skies

night falls upon watermelons

sweet illusions

gold sparks on the neck and it throws

you from here to there

me from there to here

like ballet tune

till the sea returns from its rage

no, we won't know

it goes high,goes high, goes high on us

how it goes high on us

under the mediterranean skies

your hands stroke me with a rare stroke

elections is ahead

you are a political beast- Particularly keen with minorities

now there is the time in eastern style

half the world sings greece

shivers in my body anyhow

from terror and love

under the mediterranean skies

night falls upon watermelons

sweet illusions

gold sparks on the neck and it throws

you from here to there

me from there to here

like ballet tune

till the sea returns from its rage

no, we won't know

it goes high,goes high, goes high on us

how it goes high on us
