Ze kashe, ze kashe kshega’agua mul yareakh
Kan lerega uboreakh, akharav, rodef habekhi
Ze kashe, ze kashe kshega’agua mul yareakh
Kan lerega uboreach, akharav, rodef habekhi
Lifamim mevi haruakh re’akh tov mukar

Otkha shar
Lo or kochav
Ata akhshav
Iti iti, keilu amiti
Kmo az mizman
Come along, come along
See the fire in your eyes
And you come with me, with me
Lifamim mevi haruakh re’akh tov mukar
Melatef akhshav shome’a
Lo or kochav
Ata akhshav
Iti iti, keilu amiti
Kmo az mizman
Nafshi meyahelet letfilot halev ha’ham
Nafshi meyahelet letfilot halev ha’ham
Lo or kochav

Kmo az mizman
English Translation
As If Here
My soul is hoping for the warm heart’s prayers
It’s hard, it’s hard when a longing in front of the moon
Is here for a while and than escapes, the crying is chasing after it
It’s hard, it’s hard when a longing in front of the moon
Is here for a while and than escapes, the crying is chasing after it
Sometimes the wind brings a good, familiar smell
Strokes now, listening
To you singing
Not a starlight
You are now
With me, with me, as if real
Like back than
Come along, come along
See the fire in your eyes
And you come with me, with me
Sometimes the wind brings a good, familiar smell
Strokes now, listening
Not a starlight
You are now
With me, with me, as if real
Like back then
My soul is hoping for the warm heart’s prayers
My soul is hoping for the warm heart’s prayers
Not a starlight
With me, with me, as if real
Like back then

I liked this song very much :))))good luck Israel Azerbaijan and Tukey !!!
I also really liked it a lot (:
It’s just using those kh/ch-sounds a little too much
but that doesn’t matter since the song is good lol
I hope this will get a good place in the final cause it really deserves it! He sings very well and I think he make the Hebrew language sound nice, I like the language anyway, cause it’s such an ancient and cool language
I don’t know why he has put a part in English in it but I don’t really mind that he has.
Anyway once again I hope this can do well in the final, cause for me it’s maybe top 5 or well somewhere in the top, there are some others I like too but I wouldn’t mind this winning if it did. Though I don’t think it will win but it’s one of the best I think.
Im on love with this song and even the singer that he sings it
Woooowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
haha Estelle! I agree with the Woooowwwwww!!!

Enchanting is the word we can also use!
Congratulations from Castellón de la Plana (Spain). Thisis the best song of de 2008 ESC and Boaz one of the best artists. Good luck in the final!
Enhorabuena desde Castellón de la Plana (España). Esta es la mejor canción del Festival de Eurovisión 2008 y Boaz uno de los mejores artistas. ¡Suerte en la final!
L’enhorabona des-de Castelló de la Plana (Espanya). Esta és la millor cançó del Festival d’Eurovisió 2008 i Boaz un dels millors artistes. Sort a la final!

I agree- it’s just getting better and better. There are many countries I could vote for tomorrow, but I cannot vote for every song I like cause that would cost quite a lot of money >_<

Finals
Song 7
Let’s just say that he has a lot in common with Ofra Haza
“Come along come along see the fire in your eyes…”
The only contestant I can’t take my eyes off to write this!
ohhhhh…… the best song… I like it a lot… also boaz.. he look awesome:) its really bad they didnt done it better on contest.. they should have won…:’(
Anya I totally agree, best song, and 7th place just prooves how Eurovisions are soo subjective and political, and of course, definitly not a proof of musical quality!
I really like this and well it was undoubtedly one of the best songs this year….
I loved this song and i love Boaz Mauda .. he has a very very beautiful voice. and the song is amazing! I also like journey of my life
I hope he’ll get very famouse in the rest of europe so every one knows him! and so his voice dont gets waisted! <33 Lots of Love 2 u boaz
is this a woman? it sounds like a woman…. if it is could somebody please shave her eyebrows?
aw hanna now I seriously want to know where are you from?
LOL
well i am from Denmark but i’m half palestinian, and i have to admit the song is ok but couldnt they have chosen some one else to sing it?
Someone else surely wouldn’t beat Dima in our Hottest Singer poll!
ISRaeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllll + geooogriaaaa ==== good friends…….. love this song………………………..
:) this song might had to win…. 
Ova pesma je trebalo da pobedi…svaka ima cast
When I heard this song, I fell in love with it. That was my favourite song and, of course, I voted for it. Boaz is sooo cute and sexy!
The song is great but you can’t fight against Russians.They are everywhere.Estonia,Ukraine,Lithuania,Latvia,Belarus,Azerbaijan,Moldova,Georgia,Armenia…..Did I forgot someone?
BOAZ, YOU WAS DE BEST SINGER IN THE LAST ESC AND SO CUTE AND ATRATIVE. YOU DESERVED TO WIN. BEST SONG, BEST SINGER, BEST PERFORMED AND MOST ATRACTIVE.
BOAZ, FUISTE EL MEJOR CANTANTE EN EL ÚLTIMO ESC Y EL MÁS CAÑERO Y ATRACTIVO. TÚ MERECISTE GANAR. LA MEJOR CANCIÓN, EL MEJOR CANTANTE, LA MEJOR ACTUACIÓN Y EL MÁS ATRACTIVO.
BOAZ, FORES EL MILLOR CANTANT A L’ÚLTIM ESC I EL MÉS CANYER I ATRACTIU. TU VAS MÈREIXER GUANYAR. LA MILLOR ACTUACIÓ, EL MILLOR CANTANT, LA MILLOR ACTUACIÓI EL MÉS ATRACTIU.
Great song!!!
My daughter and me love this song!
Boaz is such a wonderful singer !!!
Unfortunately I couldn´t find any CD´s of him
This should have been the winning song!!It is the best eurovision song that Israel has ever sent!! Boaz’s voice is MAGIC and the music is also FANTASTIC !! The concept was based on the song , the voice , the music and not on the show and the outlook of the singer . Well done !!
BRAVO ISRAEL!!!
turkey and israel..
they were great and they deserved to win.but they don’t desert their position in eurovision!
because of politic votes!
Well,I’m mexican and I has had heared never anyone like Boaz, really he is amazing. When I heared him for first time all my mind was focus in him, because his voice and his perdon is really fantastic. I hope to can found someday a cd’s about him in Mexico.
Ok, soy mexicana y nunca había escuchado a alguien como Boaz, de verdad es grandioso. Cuando escuche a Boaz por primera vez toda mi mente estuvo enfocada en él, porque su voz y él son fantasticos. Espero poder encontrar un disco de él en México algún día. Cosa linda, cosa hermosa caballero!!!
He is ‘TALENTED’. His voice is a gift from God. thanks for the translation!!
