Don't remember where I was when Rabin1 was murdered
Or when the Likkud [party] beat the Ma'arach [labour party]
And Haim Yavin2 coined the term "A revolution!"
I don't remember where I saw Eyal Golan
sing "To Buy You a Diamond" at the "[March of the] Million Demonstration"
Till this day I don't remember the war
Not also the one that came after it
Did you hear? I don't remember where I was when I watched Usain Bolt
breaking the world record in the hundred meter dash
Man, where were you when the Twin Towers fell?
What were you doing when the wall of Berlin went down?
Or when the regimes of Gaddafi and Mubarak were overthrown?
When they discovered Gilad Shalit survived getting captured
as a prisoner by the Hamas
When we won the Nobel Prize, when you saw a shooting star for the first time
Can you remember what did you wish for?
No? No need to apologize
There are countless defining moments
In the end we will remember so few
But hey, this is a moment we will cherish
And trust me that one day you too
You'll remember where you were,
the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"
Don't remember where I was when they landed on the moon
Or when OJ and Roman Zadorov were accused of murder
When Channel 243 screened "Young Rapper on the Street"
When Yehuda Barkan gave "A Kiss on the Forehead4"
I don't remember where I watched Michael Jordan in a moment to remember for eternity
Beat Utah Jazz, taught them a lesson and won the championship for the sixth time
When thanks to Reuven Atar5, Meir6 lost his voice and yelled – "Goal!"
When [Maccabi] Shear'ayim [F.C] made it to the national league
When Muki D met Nimnim7
When "Inspector Gashash" was a sex offender8
When Giraffe suspected Mitz Petel9 of being a tiger
And Pzazty's10 amp became a collector's item
Don’t remember the Intifada
When a suicide bomber reached the Purim Parade in Holon
When MDA11 was called for Arik Sharon12
When Ada Yonath won the… Eurovision?
When the United States elected a black president
When Arik Einstein sang "Guitar and a Violin"
Where was I when Maccabi Tel Aviv took the Final Four?
Don't know, bro,
Understand it's hard for me to remember
There are countless defining moments
In the end we will remember so few
But hey, this is a moment we will cherish
And trust me that one day you too
You'll remember where you were,
the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"
There will be more presidents that will rape13
Prime Ministers who will attempt to halt social protest when it rises up
Celebrities that will be at death's door
There is nothing that hasn't been done before
But a song like this, you can call me naïve
There has never been before, nor will there ever be
And it is worth remaining etched in the collective memory
Where you were,
the first time you heard the hit song "You'll remember"
