For Father (Yalda Im Tzamot) 04:10
lyrics
מילים ולחן : גרשון פרנסקי (מקור) אחינועם ניני וגיל דור אני זוכרת לפני שנים ילדה קטנה וצוחקת מעל כתפיך סיפור ושיר היית שר לי בשקט היה היתה לי ילדה קטנטונת ולה צמות מושלכות על גב ועת התירה עבות צמותיה ניתר ליבי מחישוריו ובחורשה צמותיה פרמתי חייך ירח זקן חביב אך עם שלכת השירה עליה גם בליבנו גווע אביב לה לה ... היה היתה לי ילדה קטנטונת ולה צמות מושלכות על גב הלוך הלכה לה ילדה, קטנטונת חלף אביב, הגיע סתיו עכשיו עומדת אותה ילדה שיער גולש על כתפיה במה מוארת, אני נזכרת ... ושיר שולחת אליך ... היה היתה לך ילדה קטנטונת ולה צמות מושלכות על גב אך לא שלכת היא מחייכת חלף הלך לו נגמר הסתיו הנה אביב מתחיל עכשיו Lyrics & Music: G. Prinsky Translation by Noa: i remember years ago a little girl with her laughter from high up on on your shoulders you would tell me stories, and sing to me softly once i had a little girl with two braids swinging on her back when she undid her thick black braids my heart would also come undone in the meadow, i unraveled them friendly old moon smiled down on us but in the fall, shed shed them all to the autumn of our souls in the meadow, i unraveled them friendly old moon smiled down on us once i had a little girl with two braids swinging on her back she has gone, this little girl and taken spring away with her now that same girl stands before you long black hair caped over her shoulders stage lights shine and in my mind i send a song out to you once i had a little girl with two braids swinging on her back but autumns past and she will laugh fall is all but gone away a lovely spring begins today

Mishaela 03:15
lyrics
מילים : גיל דור לחן : אחינועם ניני בעיניה מי יודע עננים אפורים מתפזרים לארבע רוחות נחל אכזב מתמלא, דשא ירוק מכסה והמרחב נפתח לשמים זוג עיניים מביטות, מחפשות, צוללות בכחול הקר מרחפות באוויר אל הזהב המאיר את שערה הרך . מישאלה, מה את רואה ? מה בליבך הצוחק אל אותה הדממה ? אז את עיני לי תפקח, קשת אחת במזרח והלא די בכך (והלא די לי, די לי בכך ? והלא די בכך...) Translation by Noa: who knows what is in her eyes? grey clouds disperse in the four winds a dry riverbed overflows and the horizon opens wide up to the heaven she turns her eyes searching, diving in to the chilly blue floating in the air touching the pure golden light that glimmers in her hair mishaela, what do you see? what is it in your heart that greets the desolate silence with such laughter? it is one rainbow in the east, she says it is all i need what more could i want? it is all that i need

Wildflower 04:17
lyrics
in a tenement near the henry hudson river from my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape i would look below. and see mario braving the ferocious dandelions mario, our fearless superintendent kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog but the flowering weeds their fates decreed pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying then i would creep inside, curl up in my bed something strong was pulling at my head pulling at my heart wild flower, growing in all the wrong places wild flower, so lonely 'neath that lovely rose bush proper garden's nightmare, queen of opened fields tell me, who will love this wildflower for exactly what she is? years passed by, we left that red brick building left mario behind for a brand new house but my dark brown skin on the white washed walls within stood out, so it'd get me up and cryin? my growing pains had many rooms to fill, then mother never know ..had a garden to keep clean while there was ny grease on her young flower from the middle east she was busy pulling dandelions then i would creep inside, curl up in my bed something strong was pulling at my head pulling at my heart wild flower, growing in all the wrong places wild flower, so lowly 'neath that lovely rosebush proper garden's nightmare, queen of opened fields tell me, who will love this wildflower for exactly what she is?

I Don't Know 04:47
lyrics
flower, colored bright i am strong i can fight but i don't know. tower, brick and stone make my way on my own but i don't know i don't know why, i don't know how if i can fly, can i fly now? are my wings strong enough to bear the winds out there? hey, i don't know. tell me it'll never fade and i'll go forth unafraid because i don't know. show me rain and flood to cool the fire in my blood because i don't know. i don't know why, i don't know how if i can fly, can i fly now? are my wings strong enough to bear the winds out there? hey, i don't know. darkness, edge of night you are here, i'm in flight now i know, now i know now i know

He (Boi Kala) 04:40
lyrics
מילים: לאה גולדברג לחן: אחינועם ניני וגיל דור קרבתך וקרבת הים גזלו את שנתי. נשמת אפך נשבה מן הים ותחדור, מלוחה, אל ביתי. וגלים בדכים עולים בבכים למרומי אהבתי. בואי כלה. בירח אדום מול הים מפכה דמך. בירח אדום מול הים דמי ודמך. וגלים בדכים זועקים בבכים את שמך, את שמך, את שמך, בואי כלה. איך אסגור את חלוני וקרובה הסופה? איך אסגור את חלוני ואת יחפה? איך אסגור את חלוני והים קרא? איך אסגור את חלוני ואת ערה? והאוח מלב הליל את שנתי קרע? בואי כלה. Translation by Noa: the nearness of the sea and you obliterates all hopes of rest your salty breath has blown over the sea to penetrate my breast the rising of my love is like the waves at tide... come, my bride in a red moon over sea your blood is burning in a red moon i can see our blood is turning the rising tide will call and cry your name, your name in yearning come, my bride come my bride... how can i close the window when the storm is near? how can i close my window when your feet are bare? how can i close my window when the ocean weeps how can i, knowing youre awake somewhere... the owl shattered my sleep when in the night he cried, come, my bride

She 03:37
lyrics
מילים: לאה גולדברג לחן: גיל דור שלחת אלי את האוח להעירני משינה. לימדת אותו לצווח מילות אהבה ותחינה אבל אני לא אבוא, לא אבוא, לא אבוא! שילחת בי את ריח האצות ואת הלבנה, ציוית על הים להאנח בקול אהבה ותחינה אבל אני לא אבוא, לא אבוא, לא אבוא! נשקו הגלים את רגלי, את שולי שמלתי הלבנה. בקולך אמרו לי "בואי אלי" בקול אהבה ותחינה. ואני חזרתי אל ביתי, סגרתי את דלתי, חלוני מוגף ליבי ישן ואני ישנה. Translation by Noa: you sent the owl to me to shatter my repose you taught him well to cry out words of love in pleading prose but i will not come i will not, i will not you've plagued me with the bitter scent of seaweed and the moon you've made the ocean heave and sigh in a lovers swoon but i will not come i will not, i will not the waves have kissed my feet the hem of my snowy-white dress in your voice they said to me come with a lover's caress but i returned unto my rooms closed the door shut the window tight my heart is asleep i am asleep

Beautiful That Way 02:48
lyrics
smile, without a reason why love, as if you were a child smile, no matter what they tell you don't listen to a word they say 'cause life is beautiful that way tears, a tidal-wave of tears light that slowly disappears wait, before you close the curtain there's still another game to play and life is beautiful that way here, in his eyes forever more i will always be as close as you remember from before. now, that you're out there on your own remember, what is real and what we dream is love alone. keep the laughter in your eyes soon, your long awaited prize well forget about our sorrow and think about a brighter day 'cause life is beautiful that way

about

Since the end of the official "Now" album tour in August 2003 we have solidified a beautiful and extraordinary musical collaboration and friendship with the magnificent "Solis String Quartet" from Naples. We first met them when we shared a stage during a televised concert in the famous Monasteria Santa Chiara in Napoli on Jan-5th 2002 . Since then we became intent on working with this wonderful group of musicians . We started preparing string arrangements for our songs, some written by Gil, others by Solis and some adapted by Solis from Ilan Mochiach, our symphonic arranger. We covered a wide range of songs from all our albums and were delighted with the outcome. We feel that this new setting: guitar, percussion by the amazing Zohar Fresco and Strings, brings out both the "classical", harmonic and melodic nature of our music and its rhythmic feel in full color. We enjoyed touring with Solis immensely and hope to do much more of it in the future!.
