תזכרי [Tizkeri] [English translation]

Don't remember where I was when Rabin1 was murdered

Or when the Likkud [party] beat the Ma'arach [labour party]

And Haim Yavin2 coined the term "A revolution!"

I don't remember where I saw Eyal Golan

sing "To Buy You a Diamond" at the "[March of the] Million Demonstration"

Till this day I don't remember the war

Not also the one that came after it

Did you hear? I don't remember where I was when I watched Usain Bolt

breaking the world record in the hundred meter dash

Man, where were you when the Twin Towers fell?

What were you doing when the wall of Berlin went down?

Or when the regimes of Gaddafi and Mubarak were overthrown?

When they discovered Gilad Shalit survived getting captured

as a prisoner by the Hamas

When we won the Nobel Prize, when you saw a shooting star for the first time

Can you remember what did you wish for?

No? No need to apologize

There are countless defining moments

In the end we will remember so few

But hey, this is a moment we will cherish

And trust me that one day you too

You'll remember where you were,

the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"

Don't remember where I was when they landed on the moon

Or when OJ and Roman Zadorov were accused of murder

When Channel 243 screened "Young Rapper on the Street"

I don't remember where I watched Michael Jordan in a moment to remember for eternity

And Pzazty's10 amp became a collector's item

Don’t remember the Intifada

When a suicide bomber reached the Purim Parade in Holon

When MDA11 was called for Arik Sharon12

When Ada Yonath won the… Eurovision?

When the United States elected a black president

When Arik Einstein sang "Guitar and a Violin"

Where was I when Maccabi Tel Aviv took the Final Four?

Don't know, bro,

Understand it's hard for me to remember

There are countless defining moments

In the end we will remember so few

But hey, this is a moment we will cherish

And trust me that one day you too

You'll remember where you were,

the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"

There will be more presidents that will rape13

Prime Ministers who will attempt to halt social protest when it rises up

Celebrities that will be at death's door

There is nothing that hasn't been done before

But a song like this, you can call me naïve

There has never been before, nor will there ever be

And it is worth remaining etched in the collective memory

Where you were,

the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"
