Idan Amedi is a commander in an IDF combat unit from the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Pisgat Ze'ev.
He was discovered on an Israeli reality TV singing contest called Kokhav Nolad and this is his song which made him famous.
It is about his life as a fighter in the IDF and the pain he experiences. The translation of the song is below the video.
English translation:
First evening of being alone
I sit and write you a letter
About all the things that happened
How it happened exactly
Letters arise up on the wall
"I'm fear, nice to meet you"
The images like to play
Moving here in the empty house
And you, you dont know how much
I tried to hide from you
All the nightmares at night
The screaming and blood on the uniform
You dont understand why
I am not myself anymore
Images run (in my head) from that night
Tears, fighter's pain
This is the first evening you are there
I lie and think, cant fall asleep
The silence slowly plays
I dedicate to you a nameless song
And you, you dont know how much
I tried to hide from you
All the nightmares at night
The screaming and blood on the uniform
You dont understand why
I am not myself anymore
Images run (in my head) from that night
Tears, fighter's pain
Hebrew original:
ערב ראשון של לבד,
יושב וכותב לך מכתב
על כל הדברים שהיו
כל מה שקרה בדיוק
אותיות מופיעות על הקיר
אני הפחד נעים להכיר
הדמויות אוהבות לשחק
זזות כאן בבית הריק, הריק
ואת, את לא יודעת כמה
ממך ניסיתי להסתיר
את כל הסיוטים בלילה
צרחות ודם על המדים
את לא מבינה כבר למה
אני מזמן כבר לא אני
תמונות רצות מאותו לילה
דמעות, כאב של לוחמים
זה ערב ראשון שאת שם,
שוכב וחושב, לא נרדם
השקט לאט מתנגן
מקדיש לך עכשיו שיר בלי שם
שיר בלי שם
ואת, את לא יודעת כמה...
זה ערב ראשון של לבד,
יושב וכותב לך
