פרדס חנה
Hanan ben Ari Lyrics

The lyrics to Hanan ben Ari's song "פרדס חנה" (Hanna's Orchard) speak to the singer's current state of mind and his attempt to find peace in the chaos around him. He reflects on his past battles and the realization that he needs to learn to sing quietly. He describes looking from the side and encourages the listener to join him in exploring Hanna's orchard. He wonders what they have lost in the city and suggests turning their ideals into something normal and simple. He tells his love interest that he buys her a colorful bouquet every Friday and has learned not to argue, but to converse and listen. He notes the irony of people in Berlin flying there solely for beer without taxes, while Hanna simply plants a tree by the waterside with strong roots. He admits to being envious of his love interest's ability to keep close to everything he has lost when searching, as she always seems to find what he has lost. The song ends on a hopeful note with a new light shining in Hanna's orchard, no pressure, no thorns, just an open green field and the wind that does good for the children.

The song can be interpreted in different ways. Some interpret it as a call to return to nature and the simple things in life, while others see it as a journey to find inner peace and contentment amidst the chaos of the world. The orchard symbolizes a place of serenity, and the singer's love interest symbolizes hope and the possibility of finding what has been lost.
