Israel: The sand and the soldier, Serge Gainsbourg (1967)











The sand and the soldier

I will. I will defend the sand of Israel,
The land of Israel, the children of Israel,
I am ready to die for the sand of Israel,
The land of Israel, the children of Israel,

I will defend against any enemy
The sand and the land I was promised.

I will defend the sand of Israel,
The cities of Israel, the land of Israel,
I am ready to die for the sand of Israel,
The cities of Israel, the land of Israel.

All the Goliaths who come from the pyramids,
Will retreat before the star of David.

I will defend the sand of Israel,
The land of Israel, the children of Israel,
I am ready to die for the sand of Israel,
The land of Israel, the children of Israel.

I am ready to die for the sand of Israel,
The land of Israel, the children of Israel.

This song was presented by Serge Gainsbourg to the State of Israel. It was composed in June 1967 during the Six-Day war.
