I read about the song on Matti Caspi’s website That they were three during the Yom Kippur War Matti Caspi, Oshik Levi and Leonard Cohen Who came to Israel to support the soldiers at the time And in fact this song was written during performances, on stage I started translating this song a couple of years ago I remember the exact period because I had just become a father And then I remembered, due to the complicated act of naming the child I remembered this song that starts with the verse: "I asked my father, I said 'father change my name'" "I asked my father" "I said, 'Father change my name'" "The one I’m using now it’s covered up with fear and filth and cowardice and shame" Somehow I was reminded and started the translation And then left it for a couple of years A few months ago, I met Shlomi He invited me to perform in a very cool performance that he had produced And we wanted to do something special All of a sudden I imagined Shai singing this song And I realized that he is the singer, and that I have to finish the translation I was hoping that he would record it, and that is what we’re doing right now "Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover Come back to me" "Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover Come back to me" "'I never, never turned aside', he said" "I never walked away"
