lyrics

From the very first day that we were on the sea, the British worship showed. By the 6th day, there were 6 British worships around us. One of the boats approached us with announcement “We know you are illegal immigrants. Turn around, go home, you will never reach your destination!”. When the last night arrived and we knew that next day we’ll make it to the shore, then we prepared the boat for landing and also for a struggle. These who were on the deck, who were going to fight, each of them got a wooden stick, you know, like a police stick. So all the potatoes and all the cans were brought up to the deck, because these were our weapons you see. The British attacked our boat when we were 60 K from the territorial waters. So the British worships, the iron monsters, came closed in on a wooden ship from both sides, there was a danger that they will break the walls and water will start entering. They were a few dead, there were over 80 wounded.
After 4 hours finally our caption, the HAGANA commander decided to stop it. Then the British took position of it and took it in to Haifa, to Israel.
