The collection includes translations of some of the most famous works of the wonderful poet and composer Naomi Shemer - which have become truly popular and beloved songs and an inseparable part of the cultural life of Israelis. Almost all the songs given here contain references to the original performance in the text, which makes it possible to evaluate both the musical component (and Naomi also wrote the music for most of the songs), and how accurately the translated works fit the rhythm and poetics of the source.
