The song is performed by Subliminal and the Gevatron, and was selected by the 60th Headquarters and the Government Publications Bureau to accompany the State of Israel's independence celebrations, a campaign which will be launched in the next few days on television and the radio.
60 Years Old - Subliminal Hosts the Gevatron
When the wind blows my love grows
I want to grow older in a country which is growing older
With all the hardships, in all its meanings
Taking care of its children - and also its founders.
Absorbing Aliyah, learning from experience
Then we will remember what was and do it right
We will take responsibility, this country is ours
We will not accomplish anything if we don't remember from whence we came.
A new generation is tearing up the field
Most are not experienced enough - and their hearts are moved
Yearning for peace the hand already extended
But if there is no GPS then they don't know where to go.
So let us take a step without fear
We will accomplish all we want if we stick together
Look at reality deep in the eye
And build a better future with manual labor.
I was born to peace, it is true - to peace
And no, I don't mean the Ayalon Junction
From north to south, whether Haifa or Tel Aviv
What has become of the sea of corn around us?
So here it comes without a cigarette and a nargilla
Balalaika, kakalinka, Macarena, gasulina
"Chiribim, chiribom, chiribim bom bom bom bom bom bom"
Give Baba the microphone "and something good to gulp!"
On the waves, Gevat-ron, "Subliminal"
Conquer the hit parades, they are a wall and I am a tower
With a birthday song for "our tiny country"
It deserves congratulations, because it is changing its prefix.
"Sixty years old according to the calendar" but there is no cause for concern
60 is only 6 in country years
Love from the heart and write you Madam
You are the one and we have no other!
