"פריחה על מרצדס"

[Psi-Lord]

I was tagging my mp3 files and there's one by Sarit Hadad called <span dir="rtl">"פריחה על מרצדס"</span>. I searched high and low around the web, but I couldn't find out how to romanise (and translate) the title. Can someone give me a hand at that?

TIA!

"Frecha al Mercedes "
Frecha means something like "bad girl"
al Mercedes means on Mercedes .

(frecha comes from German by the way ,but no one use frech any more ,just frecha ,
I gess this is cos boys are good and gulz are bad ,so no need for boy version of the word :0P ).

[NulNuk]

by the way ,thats not the name of the song ,thats the first line ,
and its "Frecha be-Mertzedes" ,not Al-Mertzedes .
(frecha in a Mercedes ,not on a Mercedes ),
the name is "ba chom shel Tel-Aviv" ( בחום של תל אביב )

פרחה במרצדס משנה את המקום שלה,
בסדר החדש רואים את החיים,
משקפיים על חצי פנים,
או עם מושבי העור,
בחום הזה של תל אביב.

פרחה במרצדס רק שלא יתחילו להציק,
מוציאה סיגריה מהתיק עם המשפט המחודד,
שעוד מהדהד בראש,
איך לא ידעתי מה ללבוש,
למסיבה של הבחור עם השיער הצבעוני,
היה בליין אבל עכשיו הוא רציני,
איש עסקים שעכשיו הוא טבעוני,
ואולי הוא בשבילי לנשמה,
גם מתוקים הם סוג של נחמה,
רציתי לונדון וקיבלתי מלחמה,
תראה חבר הפחד לא עובר,
הוא רק הולך ובא הולך ובא...

פרחה במרצדס נוסעת על כביש מהיר,
פנסים כבויים ועוד אידיוט שמאותת בשביל להסתיר,
אוי מה אתם רוצים,
אנשים מסובכים,
ואתה נדבק לי אל היד קופץ מסביב,
כמה שערות על החזה בחום הזה של תל אביב,
אוי תיתן לי מנוחה,
יוצאת לבד ולא איתך,
למסיבה של הבחור עם השיער הצבעוני...

פרחה במרצדס משנה את המקום שלה.

I usually don`t like Sarit Chadad ,but thats actually a nice song .

I have that song. I could send it to you if you can't find it on the internet.

Thanks a lot, NulNuk! The file I downloaded from eMule seems to have been recorded from the radio, and the person who recorded it probably hadn't much info on the song. It's funny that, now that I know the name of the song, I can clearly hear the radio presenter saying it in the end of the song, hehe.

Thanks, StrawberryWine, but, if this was for me, I do have the file myself—I was just lacking the romanisation of the name (since the file I got had the name in Hebrew only, and I prefer to rename my files to Latin script). Do you happen to have other songs by her that you might recommend, though? I've got just a couple, but I'm pretty much just throwing her name into eMule and downloading anything that comes my way, hehe.

[utopia]

Yes, there are some other good songs but the one I would recommend is "na'ara mibait tov" (can't remember the song's name) and it's the first line - a girl from a good family.

Mmmmm, seems like Sarit is becoming our most international star. I'm not sure if I like that. I like the song though, I think it was written by Ivri Lider. Frecha is a bimbo girl, the female perfect company of ars or even a frech even if that's not that usual.

I think the song is called Bachof shel Tel Aviv (On the beach of Tel Aviv). Interesting lyrics

But I still prefer our greatest Frecha of all times, Ofra Haza

Eyn li rosh lemilim arukot

Yosko

[yossi]

Okay, it's bachom and not al hachof
Like I said before, I don't like Sarit

[Irrisim]

שלום חבר!
Finally another Ofra fan! You don't even know how much I love her singing, beauty.. And well, just every detail of her.
She has been my greatest idol for as long as I can remember. And may I also suggest the song Ballad for the King, which is very good =)

בשלום.

Frecha is not bimbo , is insolent ,impudent ,sausy ,cheeky ,bold ,daring ,bad guirl ,
same as in Iydish and German frech ,only in Hebrew there
is only a female vercion ,and no one use frech any more ,(though it was used allso long ago).

bimbo is zinzonet ,its not the same ! .

[yossi]

I never said frech is used nowadays. was just meaning to be ethymological. I gave the most suitable pair for the noun frecha, which would be "ars" very used in Israel now even if this last ones usually denotes a way of dressing and a specific taste for some kind of music

Anyways, don't know exactly what Bimbo means in English but my exact definition for Frecha would be some kind of shallow and superficial girl who also cares a lot about the way she looks and who's always trying to impress people with rather a posh pose. Is there a word in English for that, then?

Wouldn't be a zinzonet more like a Barbie girl?

[Irrisim]

I believe the correct english translation of frecha would be "insolent".

BTW: Yosko, how is it in Yerushalayim?

the definition is insolent ,and your definision for frecha
is completly wrong ,frecha has nothing to do with it ,
frecha is just the same as חוצפנית only in Iydish (and German ),
the fact that "arsiym" go out with frechas ,don`t make them a conterpart word ,
the meanin of those words are completly diferent .
frecha=חוצפנית (insolent) ,frech =חוצפן .
ars= don`t have an exact definition for it in English ,
in SPanish it would be something like "grasa" but not exactly nither.
and Zinzonet means exaclty bimbo ,not better definition
than that ,wich is the exact definition .

a barby girl doesn`t have to be a bimbo ,so its not zinzonet ,
it doesn`t have an exact translation ,but its more
like a "stailistit" ,only with less brain .

[Irrisim]

Well. Why make it so complicated? If we know the meanining, we don't have to know the word.
