​אני ואתה נשנה את העולם

אני ואתה, אז יבואו כבר כולם
אמרו את זה קודם, לפניי
לא משנה
אני ואתה נשנה את העולם

אני ואתה ננסה מהתחלה
יהיה לנו רע, אין דבר, זה לא נורא
אמרו את זה קודם, לפניי
זה לא משנה
אני ואתה נשנה את העולם

Hayseed

I’m a hayseed, my hair is seaweed
And my ears are made of leather and they flop in stormy weather
Gosh a hem lock, I’m strong as a pine lock
I’m a shomer(et) can’t you see

All shomrim are high minded
Bless our souls we’re double jointed
They climb trees and don’t mind it all day long x2

Hashomer is for you
Hashomer is for me
Hashomer is for anyone who sings off key

If I Had A Hammer

Verse
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning,
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land.
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land, ooh

Interlude

Verse
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning,
I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land.
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out the love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land, ooh

Interlude

Verse
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning,
I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land.
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out the love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land, ooh

Interlude

Verse
Now I have a hammer, and I have a bell
And I have a song to sing all over this land
It’s the hammer of justice, It’s the bell of freedom 
It’s the song about he love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Aah aah aah aah
Eee Eee Eee Eee
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
And sometimes Y!

Shir Lashalom

Verse
Tnu lashemesh la’alot

Laboker le’ha’ir
Hazaka shebatfilot
Otanu lo tahzir

Mi asher kava nero
oo’be’Afar nitman
Bechi mar lo ya’iro
Lo yachziro le’chan

Bridge
Ish otanu lo yashiv
Mibor tachtit afel
Kan lo yo’ilu
Lo shirei hanitzachon
Velo shirei hallel

Chorus
Lachen rak shiru, shir lashalom
Al tilchashu tfila
Lachen rak shiru, shir lashalom
Bitze’aka gdola

Verse
Tnu lashemes lachador
Miba’ad laprachim
Al tabitu le’achor
Hanichu la’holchim
S’oo eina’yim betikva
Lo derech kavanot
Shiru shir la’ahava
Velo lamilchamot

Bridge
Al tagidu yom yavo
Havi’oo et hayom
Ki lo chalom hoo
Oove’chol hakikarot
Hari’oo lashalom

Chorus
Lachen rak shiru….

תנו לשמש לעלות

לבוקר להאיר
הזכה שבתפילות
אותנו לא תחזיר

מי אשר כבה נרו
ובעפר נטמן
בכי מר לא יעירו
לא יחזירו לכאן

איש אותנו לא ישיב
מבור תחתית אפל
כאן לא יועילו
לא שמחת הניצחון
ולא שירי הלל


לכן רק שירו שיר לשלום
אל תלחשו תפילה
מוטב תשירו שיר לשלום
בצעקה גדולה

תנו לשמש לחדור
מבעד לפרחים
אל תביטו לאחור
הניחו להולכים
שאו עיניים בתקווה
לא דרך כוונות
שירו שיר לאהבה
ולא למלחמות

אל תגידו יום יבוא
הביאו את היום
כי לא חלום
הוא ובכל הכיכרות
הריעו רק שלום

...לכן רק שירו

Shir Mosh 2021

Verse 1
A mask and two meters, won’t cover my smile
I’m coming again, and I'm bringing my style. 
To see my kvutza, not behind a big screen
Might not be the old way, but there’s a vaccine

Verse 2
Like pizza and bagels, a cheese or a font
The summer with Mosh sums up all that i want
When one of them’s missing it doesn’t feel right
Because they need to be together it’s as clear as the night.

Pre-Chorus
Counting down the days
I can’t stop dreaming about Mosh, ‘till I'm… 

Chorus           
Splashing in the lake
Laughing with my friends
Here’s my chance to grow
Making memories
Brand new things to learn
Finally at home
I never want to leave - (Interlude)

Verse 3
A warm sunny breeze climbs the old dirt road
Setting my mind to an adventurous mode
The air fills with chala, and soup from the ched
It’s already late, but i won’t go bed

Bridge
Singing Jimbalaya, on a warm Saturday eve 
Fills my heart with Shomeric believe
I want to keep:

Chorus
Splashing in the lake
Laughing with my friends
Here’s my chance to grow
Making memories
Brand new things to learn
Finally at home
I never want to leave - (Interlude)

Verse 4
Libi Mechake le’tziltzul pa’amon
Arutz bimhirut va’agi’a rishon
Ba’erev Etzchak va’ashir et shiri
Bemakom kazeh bo hakol efshari

Pre-Chorus
Counting down the days
I can’t stop dreaming about Mosh, ‘till I'm… 

Chorus
Splashing in the lake
Laughing with my friends
Here’s my chance to grow
Making memories
Brand new things to learn
Finally at home
I never want to leave - (Interlude)

Shir Mosh 2020

Verse 1
There’s something different in the air
And I am not so worried about lice in my hair
I spend my day on zoom calls
Dream of shirutim walls
And laughing, and dancing, and hugging all day

But when I see you on my screen
Or 6 ft apart
I know exactly what this really means
To have friends for life
Community to guide me right
How wonderful it is to know that I’m never alone

Chorus
Summer at home
Seems a bit monochrome
But that’s not the truth

A mosquito said to me
Look inside and you will see
The power of the youth

Rechokim, ach shutafim 
bederech Hashomer
Kulanu yachdav

Kaitz meshune nachat 
aleinu mimarom
Lefeta, pit'om

Verse 2
There’s something different in the air
And maybe the world is in need of a little shomeric care
I wear my chultza with pride
And with the strength it provides
I know that there’s nothing that I cannot achieve

Chorus
It is not the same
But it’s our job to reclaim
The magic we all know
wake up screaming Kima
Fall asleep to Shira
Make a homemade gazebo (which is the correct term for what we call pagodas and it rhymes, so...)

The chof is now my bathtub
Joining so many clubs
Mosh kayitz ba’ir
Pizza bagels
And doing tables
2020… what a year

Verse 1
How wonderful it is to know that I’m never alone x3

Shir Mosh 2005

Verse
What do you say that you and me,
Just pack up our bags and go to a place where we can be free
Escape from the hustle and bustle of city streets
Step on the bus and I guarantee you’ll feel the relief

Bridge
The old dirt road looks familiar to me
This is where I can truly be free
Memories gone but they still remain
You know true friends will never betray

Chorus
Machane Shomria,
Zeh ha’makom sheli ve shelcha 
Me ha’migdal la chultzah ha’chula
Ani lo rotze lishcoach otcha

Verse
It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen you last, 
But before too long this summer will pass
So while you’re here, have some fun and join in this song,
Let’s turn to each other with open arms and sing along

That the sun played on Otty Lake
And I heard a song that the sparkling stars sing
And I danced in the fields with all my chaverim
