IDF sings historic song - Elifelet | Israeli army songs memorial Hebrew song in israel army
Elifelet written by Nathan Alterman tells the story of a boy soldier who is killed in combat and taken away by the Archangel Gabriel. Song by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) for memorial day.
Lyrics: ’Let us sing a Song of Elifelet.
Let’s recite it together out loud.
How when he was a tyke, a young fellow —
A real klutz, a schlimazel, avowed.
All the neighbors and folks they would prattle,
“He’s plain hopeless,” upon him they’d pounce.
“Elifelet’s a boy without mettle,
Without character, even an ounce.”
If you grab from his hands a new plaything,
He just sits there agape with a grin.
Yes he’s smiles, not knowing the reason
What a smile’s for or when to begin.
And the neighbors they all looked askance,
That a pin drop would cause him to dance,
Without questioning “why’ or “wherefore”,
No “ifs”, or “buts”, or “maybe”,
No “when to begin” or “what for?”
No “how much” or “no, that’s crazy.”
As if lost in a musical score
With a melody clear as a bell hit.
If we ask you “What good is that for?
What a child you
