Dear Kitchen Sink,

The song contains many nonsense words that have been invented by the
band. See cultural references in the comments section (comments are
noted like that [*]).

The Palestinian Security System expresses its concern that Kele

Are you Kutzoni - I am an extremist!
Yes, you're Kutzoni - You're Kutzoni!

Real, not serious; if Didi wears a bikini
How come I'm an extremist?
If I was on Kokhav Nolad[3]
I would have sent a billion SMS for me
And still get to the second place (...)
I am still where I am, don't give a sh!t,
Six years now, and still an olive without the pit
It made me famous, prime time, Arutz 2 [4]
With cuffs on the legs, just kidding...
I am as real as it gets, not an extremist,
A supernatural rapper that comes naturally
Not reality TV
People who know me, know that not because of my bro
I am as huge as Azit[5]'s butt
Even if you'll shov Taufik inside, I suffocate!
I am a Persian-Romanian, a schizophrenic
Habibi, I am, and I have nothing to say, so ---

You're Kutzoni - I am an extremist?
What did you bring me, flowers?

No, it's a thorn-bush[6]
I am such an extremist that I can say
That Taufik is a rightist and the Six is a Yemenite
That I am the robot from The Terminator
Didi got his bikini off, he walks naked in Sydney
Everybody's turning into an extremist - what will be?
People get simply stabbed because of conflicts over parking lots.

Bro, you forgot to say that you're talking about an RV trailer
In a remote place called Zalzif village
Electrivity pours from the walls
And also hot peppers!
Not an angel, not the devil, neither black nor white
Kele Shesh and Taufik - I am the No. 1 MC!

Digidi Kutzoni , bro, like a Persian Romanian
I am digidi Didi Harari[7] , so yallah, give me 20
It won't stop, It is not enough
With Taufik and it's irritating my producer
That somehow got on my record

Kele Shesh
World identification, slaughtering the bit
And we don't have money for a van
So we hired Aaron
with a truck and another guy for the road
Because bro, this is required!
We gave Shmulik Zara[8] a job as a new rapper
A kutzoni bad luck and the future has not prospect for me
I didn't do "dist"[9] on God
So why does He retributes for 20 years?
I love to shout, to kick, to drink, to be extreme
Or in one word - I am Polish...

You're Kutzoni - (Bush: who wanted 2 Hummus?)
Yes, you're a Kutzoni - give me shichtur[10] on two
This is something sonnavbitch - give me shichtur on two
A jar of lemonade!
?? ????? ????

I am entertained
I am amused
I am amused - this is entertaining
I am Taufik, and Taufik is I!
===============
Now to my cultural notes:
(1) Kele Shesh is the name of the band, but it is (also) a name of a
military prison in Israel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_military_prison
(2) Kutzonim - a nonsense word repeating in the lyrics. Kitzoni means
an extremist; but as seen later, they also use it as a distortion of
the word "kotzim" (thorns) and it is also possible that there's a
reference here to "Kusson", which means a male-babe.
(3) Kokhav Nolad is the Israeli version of Pop Idol. People vote for
their favourites through SMS messages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokhav_Nolad
(4) Arutz 2 is the Israeli Channel 2 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_2_%28Israel%29
(5) Azit is the name of a dog featured in children's books and movies
(with nationalist theme - e.g., "Azit, the Paratrooper Dog "
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068244/>
(6) see (2). I think it is a coincidence that the have "bush" in the
translation there; the double meaning (bush/Bush) doesn't exist in
Hebrew.
(7) Didi Harari is an Israeli radio host, catering mostly teenagers
and according to the friend who helped me translate it - "people with
extremely bad taste/intelligence".
(8) No idea who that is. Perhaps another radio personality?
(9) distortion (as in musical distortion)
(10) another nonsense word. Schichzur means reconstruction, perhaps
this is somehow related.
I hope this answers your question. This has certainly been a
challange, and I must say I am a bit disappointed to find out that it
is much less funny once you understand(?) the lyrics. Typical rap
bad-lyrics; nothing to write home about or political. If you need any
clarification on this answer, please let me know. In order to
translate the lyrics, I searched the Internet for the words from the
first line that I could understand, found the full lyrics and then sat
with a friend in a brainstorming to understand Israeli teenie slang. |
