About Rachel Music: Eyal Bat Lyrics: Shira Karmon Voice: Shira Karmon Piano: Alexander Vounelakos Guitar and arr. Antonis Vounelakos Live recording from the Ehemalige Synagoge St. Pölten, Austria With thanks to FRAB.EU https://www.shirakarmon.com/    / @antonisvounelakos      / @alexandervounelakos6214   "About Rachel" is Shira's personal tribute to Rachel Bluwstein, "Rachel the poet". She is one of Israel's known poets and was a Zionist pioneer, both physically - working the land and co-founding Kibbutz Kineret - and culturally writing the lyrics to so many of Israel's beloved melodies. The lyrics written by Shira Karmon were set to music by her friend - the known Israeli composer Eyal Bat. This song is dedicated to him. Lyrics to "About Rachel" by Shira Karmon My soul is sent in freedom through you. Even though your words were born in pain. And nothing binds us, just an unknown thread is trailing between us. Aching soul, beautiful soul That longed and wanted so much Only to suffer and be chained in the dying body. Your words are so elevated, towering above And you are no more. If only I could laugh with you If only I could look into your eyes. „My world is narrow like the one of an ant“ You used to say. You were and are still - Strength which defies weakness And teases itself…. „How heroes fell“ we used to tell How you went, alone, isolated. Rachel על רחל מוסיקה: אייל באט מילים: שירה כרמון משלחת נפשי לחופשי גם אם בכאב מילותייך נולדו ולא מקשר אותנו דבר משתרך לו החוט הנסתר בינינו נפש כואבת, נפש יפה כה הרבה חשקה ורצתה רק לסבול ולהיות כבולה בגוף הגוסס מילותייך כה רמות, נישאות אל על ואת כבר אינך לו יכולתי לצחוק איתך לו יכולתי להביט בעינייך צר עולמי כעולם נמלה את אמרת את היית והינך הכוח לבדו שבז לחולשה מתגרה בעצמו איך נפלו גיבורים נהוג להלל איך הלכת לבד. בנפרד. רחל
