Moran Mazor

Moran Mazor, 21 years old from Israel, will represent her country at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö with the ballad Rak Bishvilo. She tells to us her own story.

"I was born and grew up in Holon a suburb next to Tel Aviv. 40 years ago my parents migrated to Israel from Georgia, my family and myself love the Georgian culture and language. I am the eldest daughter to my parents Nana and Rafi and then came to the world my two little brothers, Eliad and Ohad. At the age of four I started learning classical piano and continued until the age of 18.

I always loved to sing but only as a hobby. At the age of 12,  I was accepted to the town music trend, and the director discovered the singing talent in me. Since then I took part in all activities of the trend, as pianist and as a singer.

At the age of 17 I was accepted to the military band of the Air Force even though I really wanted to study Pharmacology as a reservist.

After a full year at the military service I went for auditions for the first season of the program "Eyal Golan is calling you" a reality TV show that discovers talents, where I won first place. Then I started working on my first album along with Eyal Golan, and I accompanied him on a special tour across Israel with my original songs.

Recently I was chosen to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö and now my first album is coming out which I am very proud of. The last few months were very successful and exciting for me! For me to take part in this amazing Eurovision Song Contest is a dream come true. I am proud to represent Israel and I am sure I will bring honor to my country, family and friends."

Lyrics of Rak Bishvilo

רק בשבילו

שוב בלילות עוצר הגשם טיפותיו
עוד מנסה לגנוב חיוך מבין שפתיו
כמה שתיקות אומרות וכמה מסתירות
כמה אמת נותרה בין כל התהיות

רק בשבילו,
אוכל לשכוח את הקור
ובזכותו,
אמצא בחושך את האור
רק בשבילו,
אלך אחצה את הגבולות
רק איתו אדע תשובות לשאלות

שוב בימים אשמור מבט חם ועוטף
עוד מנסה פניו בשקט ללטף
כמה דמעות חלפו וכמה נשארו
כמה תקוות נבנו וכמה נשברו

רק בשבילו,
אוכל לשכוח את הקור
ובזכותו,
אמצא בחושך את האור
רק בשבילו,
אלך אחצה את הגבולות
רק איתו אדע תשובות לשאלות
Only for him

Again at nights the rain stops its drops
I'm still trying to catch a smile from his lips
How much silences can say and how much they hide
How much truth remains among all queries?

Only for him,
I forget the cold
And thanks to him
I find light in the darkness
Only for him,
I will Cross the borders
Only with him the answers to questions

During the days I'll try to keep a warm tender look
Trying softly stroking his face
How many tears have passed and how many left
How many hopes were built and how many were broken

Only for him,
I forget the cold
And thanks to him
I find light in the darkness
Only for him,
I will Cross the borders
Only with him the answers to questions
Seulement pour lui


Encore une fois, dans les nuits,
la pluie a cessé les gouttes
Encore une fois,
j'essaie a voler une sourir de ses levres
Il y a des silences qui parlent
Il y a des silences qui cachent...
la vérité qui y reste parmi toutes les pensées


Seulement pour lui,
je pourrai oublier le froid
et grace à lui je trouverai la lumiere entre l'obscurite
Seulement pour lui,
je marcherai, et je traverserai les frontières
Qu'avec lui je saurai toutes les reponses aux questions

Qu'avec lui je saurai toutes les reponses aux questions


Encore une fois, dans les jours,
je gardes le regard chaleureux qui me touches doucement
Encore une fois
j'essaie a caresser son visage ,en tendre
Il y a des larmes qui y passent
Et il y a des larmes qui y restent
Il y a des espoirs qui se grandit
Il y a des espoirs qui sont brisé


Seulement pour lui,
je pourrai oublier le froid
et grace à lui je trouverai la lumiere entre l'obscurite
Seulement pour lui,
je marcherai, et je traverserai les frontières
Qu'avec lui je saurai toutes les reponses aux questions
Qu'avec lui je saurai toutes les reponses aux questions

Encore une fois, dans les jours,)
je gardes le regard chaleureux qui me touches doucement
Encore une fois
j'essaie a caresser son visage ,en tendre


Seulement pour lui,
je pourrai oublier le froid
et grace à lui je trouverai la lumiere entre l'obscurite
Seulement pour lui,
je marcherai, et je traverserai les frontières
Qu'avec lui je saurai toutes les reponses aux questions
