Written by Israeli singer-songwriter Corinne Allal in 1989, during the First Intifada, this moving song, performed here by Gali Atari, expresses the eternal Jewish connection and commitment to the land and State of Israel, regardless of where ones is living, the political situation or whether one agrees with governmental policies.
I Have No Other Country
I have no other country
even if my land is burning.
Just a word in Hebrew pierces my veins,
my soul,
in a weak body,
in a broken 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.
