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 |
