Subject: Lyr Req: I don't have another land From: GUEST,Jo Digger Date: 23 Aug 07 - 08:34 AM I am trying to find out the lyrics and other information about a song which has the words 'I don't have another land' in it. It is the title of an artwork by Nathan Coley, who has just been short listed for the Turner Prize. All I know is that it is by an anonymous writer and these words are in the lyrics. Thanks |

Words transliterated and translated by Chana Shuvaly of Melbourne, Australia I have no other country even if my land is aflame Just a word in Hebrew pierces my veins and my soul - With a painful body, with a hungry heart, Here is my home. I will not stay silent because my country changed her face I will not give up reminding her And sing in her ears until she will open her eyes I have no other country even if my land is aflame Just a word in Hebrew pierces my veins and my soul - With a painful body, with a hungry heart, Here is my home. I won't be silent because my country has changed her face. I will not give up reminding her And sing in her ears until she will open her eyes I have no other country until she will renew her glorious days Until she will open her eyes I have no other country even if my land is aflame Just a word in Hebrew pierces my veins and my soul - With a painful body, with a hungry heart, Here is my home. With a painful body, with a hungry heart, Here is my home |
