Translated lyrics
In the Kasbah, in the middle of the day, when the market is open I used to walk, just like that, stretched-chest Everyone says what a Canon passes by the alley Waving Hi from every window, Way to go! Everyone used to know back then very well Who has more respect Everyone used to know back then very well Who always has more respect And when the battle was all fiery and the section would not move The commander used to say, You are first, Kasa! Everyone knew that Kasablan is always first to march And behind him they all screamed, Way to go! Everyone used to know back then very well Who has more respect Everyone used to know back then very well Who always has more respect One walks with a girl in Yaffo during twilight If I only want, she would be right in my hands But I will not interrupt the guy, so he will not start shaking Because for me it is a matter of principle I have dignity! Everyone used to know back then very well Who has more respect Everyone used to know back then very well Who always has more respect If a drunken comes to some bar, I pacify him I would kick him out from the Watch (-Tower Square) directly to Gebeliah But then he comes back And then he is very small He makes a toast, and even says, Way to go! Everyone used to know back then very well Who has more respect Everyone used to know back then very well Who always has more respect
Notes
It's a song from the musical movie "Kazablan", a hit in Israel at the 70's. The Moroccan imigrants are called "Kazablan" or "Kaza", and at that time most were of a low social level. The singer Yehoram Gaon plays a Moroccan imigrant that falls in love by a girl of higher social level. As he is a naughty boy, her father doesn't accept the courtship and says that this guy doesn't deserve any respect. Kaza defends himself with the song Kol Hakavod - all respect. Dan Almagor explains more about "Kasablan," the character and the musica
