Shelcha
Yael Naďm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many faces, too many plans
That I wanted to change
So many words, if I can tell you
There's no other love
But the one I live with you
We let all this happened
Will this war last forever and ever?
They've burned my hands
Cut my hair and steal my soul
But do you really want to know?
Rest in peace with my sorrows
Are we alone or together
Or are you my greatest war?
Yael Naďm's song, Shelcha (which translates to "Yours"), is a powerful and emotional track that speaks to the turmoil and hardship of living in a world full of chaos and violence. The song begins with the singer feeling overwhelmed and weighed down by the various pressures and expectations that have been placed upon them. They are longing for change and a sense of peace, but it all seems out of reach.
As the song continues, the singer turns their attention to their relationship with the person they love. They express that there is no other love for them but the one they have with this person. However, even though they have this love, they are still struggling to understand how they have ended up in this situation. There is a sense of confusion and helplessness, as if they are powerless to stop the war that is threatening to tear everything apart.
The song's chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer speaks about the physical and emotional abuse they have suffered. They describe having their hands burned and their hair cut, and feeling as though their soul has been stolen. Despite this, they still hold onto hope and long for a sense of peace. The song ends with the singer questioning whether they are alone or together, and whether the person they love is their greatest war.

FYI, the Hebrew words making up the majority of the song are different from the English section at the end of the song (this comment only contains the English words, not a translation of the Hebrew at the beginning).
