The Boaz, Jelena and Sirusho video
Time to pray video exclusive
Israel Idol winner Boaz wrote the song based on words written by Israel president and nobel peace prize winner Shimon Peres and another of his own compositions. Jelena and Sirusho added lyrics in their own native languages to complete the moving song. The creation is a peace trio which calls on a dove to come and spread the word of peace is within our grasp.
The videoclip paints the story of the dove with Israeli star ballerina and actress Rona Lee making a special appearance. When the song finishes, she transforms into a real dove and flies over the tower of david in Jerusalem.
The world premiere of the song was aired live during the Serbian national final on March 8th, Beovizija. Now you can exclusively see the video for the very first time.
Boaz Mauda explained: "my song 'the fire in your eyes' [Eurovision Song Contest entry 2008] starts with an old Yemenite chant translated 'my soul seeks for a prayer that would make all hearts unite', since than I've been trying to do that with my music. I really hope that with the powerful messages and the wonderful vocals of my friends Sirusho and Jelena, we would unite people's hearts. Serbia was chosen as our first destination to perform the song because I fell in love with the people there at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade".

O my Lord, it’s time to pray
When a new sun shines, make hay
Save my land from deserts day
Call the oceans, snow will melt away
Sirusho:
Աղոթի՛ր կապույտ երկինք | Aghothir kapuyt yerkink
Աղոթի՛ր դաշտի ծաղիկ | Aghothir dashti tzaghik
Որ էլ ցավ չլինի | Vor el tsav tchlini
Որ անհոգ ժպտա մանկիկ | Vor anhog jpta mankik

Uri, boi el beitenu / Wake up, come to our homes
Kinsharim porsim yadenu / Like eagles we spread our hands
Meleim bezamir uvechol hatov / Filled with nightingales and all that is good

Oh My Lord, it’s time to pray,
When the new sun shines, make hay,
Save my land from deserts day
Call the oceans, snow will melt away
Jelena Tomasevic:
Za nas, srce Boga moli,
Da je mir i da nas vodi

Bat nadiv, yafat einayim / Daughter of the generous, with beautifull eyes
Ve’ashir lach bekol / And I’ll sing to you out loud
Can anyone please write the english lyrics of this song...some parts I cannot understand!
Tahnks!
perfect song i love it!
Sasha Son (Lithuania) in Ukraine! u should look at it - amazing!!!!!! http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=9E72wBG6kzQ
This song should be sung at ESC 2009!
And it should be sung always ever after, till peace comes to this world!
This is my personal anthem for peace!
Thank all the three and Shimon Peres for supporting this initiative of the young!
Sirusho:
Aghotir gabouyd yergink, aghotir tashdi dzaghig,
Vor el tsav chlini, vor anhok jbda mangig.
Pray blue skies, pray flower of the field,
So there'll be no sorrow, so the children will smile carelessly.
Hayr mer aghotum enk,
Makrir hokin angut charin.
Oh our Lord, we're praying,
Purify the soul of the evil.
@ alina kosa
WOW Loboda is really good performer!
I hope she will make fantastic performance in Moscow!
OMG ,this is just brilliant ,and I agree with the comments here regarding ,how the three singers here are real class,and much better than most songs/singers entered in this years contest.Does anyone know where to purchase this ,as I have tried itunes u.k and amazon u.k without success?
yes im really attached but they should pass all these peacefull messages to their nations and to their governments first so they may kill not so many people the next time.
stupid idea to use this serious thing to promote yourself.....
The song really touches me. I really like Boaz, Sirusho and Jelena singing together. Remarkable voices. Love from Israel, Armenia and Serbia! 
Loboda can do s greate show!

Boaz...Israelis love you!
I would love to see this entry in the Eurovision SOng Contest as introduction or interval act in some of the semis, or even in the final.

I didn`t mean that it`s the same as in word by word, but has kind of the same message:
Hayr Mer Aghotum Enq, Maqrir Hogin Anguchari is one of the lines Sirusho sings and it means our father we`re praying, clean the sould of unmerciful evil
* Roman Radus
nezim OR Nitzim as it should be pronounced
(netz in singular)means HAWK.
Bazim (Baz in singular)means FALCON.
Ahh Ok, thanks for both of you :-)
Brian is right, nesharim means eagle , and nezim ot bazim are vultures.
Adir - nesharim should be translated as "eagles", since vultures have a more destructive and negative connotation. I think the lyricist meant to desribe a courageous grand bird, not one that feeds on dead animals.
The song is so beautiful.
@Allan A.
The armenian part it's not same meaning !
Hebrew part:
Uri boi el beitinu
Kensharim porsim yadeinu
Melehim bezamir hubecol hatov
אורי בואי אל ביתנו
כנשרים פורסים ידיינו
מלאים בזמיר ובכל הטוב
Sunlight come to our home,
Like vultures we spread our hands
Full with nightingale with all the pleasant/good
I must say! Serbian is so beautiful language, I fell in love with it!
This song is not my cup of tea... 
Serbian part :
Za nas srce Boga moli, da je mir i da nas voli
Cisto srce Boga moli, da je mir i da nas voli, pogledaj, spasi nas, sve boli oteraj
I think I`m getting it
From our heart we pray God, let there be peace or something? mir means peace right
With clean heart we pray God, again something about peace, let there be peace or something, and then I dont get what pogledaj means, but then it says rescue us/help us, all pain something... basically they pray to God for peace and ask him to help them and take all the pain away or something... am I right?
The Armenian part has the same meaning, and I have already translated it for you here.
@cpbija 89
Can you translate this for me please?
WOW song!!! Congratz Boaz , Jelena and Sirusho!!!
love their live act, but for the spot I`m not so sure
