GW (Global Warming)
Composed and arranged by Rakelya
A piece of music addressing global warming features the wailing voices of dolphins, symbolizing the environmental disaster befalling the world.
LYRICS (part 1):
1.
I never felt your touch,
caressing my wound.
I never heard your laugh,
I never knew you around.
You were so young when you lost me,
so innocent and lonely,
and I was kidnapped all this time.
How many days you passed in crying,
and it was all a lie.
My soul was desperate to find you,
my days turned dark like the night.
18 years had passed from this day,
which left a shadow in your way.
I suffer and you thought
I passed away.
How many creases
were engraved on your face?
How much grief,
suffering and suffocation
knocked on your fate?
Why do your eyes look so tired,
oh my tender mother,
From your exhausting travel
you have past on earth.
Mother
Written, Composed and Arranged by Rakelya
Inspired by the horrific tragedy of the Yemenite children in the early 1950s.
LYRICS (part 2):
2.
Imprisoned in their cruelty,
without a resting place.
Even a grain of humanity,
escaped from my fate.
I never knew what was love,
it was a stranger world to me,
and my life flowed inside a hole.
How many creases
were engraved on your face?
How much grief, suffering and
suffocation knocked on your fate?
Why do your eyes look so tired?
Why do you turn off your desire?
Tell me why, tell me why
you are so sad?
I will uproot all your sadness
from your deep brown eyes.
I will fill your heart with happiness,
I will bring the stars from the sky.
Why do your eyes still look tired
Oh, my tender mother?
You were cheated like I was,
and our lives become a nightmare,
almost a suicide.
A realm of mystery
Composed by Elya, Yoni and Rakelya, Lyrics by Rakelya
This song, which incorporates ethnic motifs, was the result of a collaboration between the three musician brothers: Rakelya, Elya and Yoni Smadja. All have different styles, which are expressed in their joint works such as this song.
More information about Elya, Yoni and their works, below.
A realm of mystery
Full of diversity
is hidden in your mind
But vanish every time I touch
Behind your deep regard
Where fear is locked inside
Behind the child you are
Unknown like a falling star
