Ovadia Hamama In a New Single: 'An Old Tune'

Lyrics:

Sleep sleep, my little grandson

You're now in a warm and safe room

From all the crazy things going on in the world

Don't worry... by the time you grow up, we won't need an army anymore

Yes, it’s a recurring tune, sung from generation to generation

By the time you grow up, everything will have passed

There will be no more flood, here’s a rainbow in the cloud

So sleep sleep... my little grandson

Dad will soon come back from reserve duty

He will carry you on his shoulders, making a little noise for the neighbors

And mom is calming: this is the last war

Here peace is spreading across the land.

Yes, it’s a recurring tune, sung from generation to generation

By the time you grow up, everything will have passed

There will be no more flood, here’s a rainbow in the cloud

So sleep sleep... my little grandson

Now, the farmers are sowing the wheat

Covering the fields with a green blanket

With closed eyes, you can see from your bed

How a new day rises from the darkness...

It’s the same recurring tune, just like I remember

That my dad used to tell me

It’s the same old melody, passed from father to son

That your grandpa now goes to play

It’s the same old melody, rolling through time

That you too will sing to your little one

Sleep sleep... my little grandson.
