IDF orphans joined Harel Skaat and Elai Botner for "Son and Father and Mother," a touching performance in honor of fallen IDF soldiers for Memorial Day 2019.
The lyrics, translated from Hebrew are as follows:
Every time a sun goes downAnd when an airplane cuts the skyYou're there in all of these, guarding from aboveNothing is missing here And when the first rain comesAnd the night is dark and alienatingYou are there in all of these, worrying from aboveMaking sure we won't be cold And among us is the seaThe sky and maybe the worldAnd they will not separate us either, my little boyAnd you can try to smile, love and go forwardAnd in the end we'll meet and be backBoy and father and mother Every time there's a birthdayAnd friends come to the houseYou're there in all this, looking up And when a baby criesIt stabs and burns the heartYou're there in all of these, guarding from aboveThat I would not be in pain And among us is the sea...Directed by Yanit Tzadok, the video is part of a project organized by the IDF Widows & Orphans Organization, a non-profit that represents the widows and orphans of Israel's fallen soldiers.
