You Hear It First: Israel Independence Day Edition

It's still Yom Hazikaron in New York, but in Israel, after a somber day of remembering the men and women who fell in battle, Israelis have already transitioned into Israeli  Independence Day, a holiday that ushers in a summer of celebration.

Months ago, I posted about the new collaboration between Subliminal and classical Israeli folk band Gevatron. I proudly present the newly YouTubed "Bat Shishim" music video. (How new? I was view #9.)

For a version with Hebrew subtitles, see here. I've been looking for the English translation-- I know I saw it somewhere--but for now, here's my translation of the chorus:

For she is true, and not a symbol, nor a flag, nor a sign.
The past now behind her, she looks forward to what is coming.

Kol Hakavod to Israel on her 60th birthday.
