Other / אנחנו מאותו הכפר | | Hebrew term or phrase: שדה ירוק חצינו עד צואר | Hi,
It’s actually Line 6 of Naomi Shemer’s “We are from the same village”.
It just seems a bit strange to me as she seems to be saying, “Green field halfway up to our neck” – I must have misunderstood.
All the best,
Simon |

| | We crossed a field of green that came up to our necks | Explanation:
שדה ירוק can be interpreted to mean "a field of green" as well as "a green field," with pretty much the same meaning. The image it evokes is of tall green grass that came to the level of the necks of those crossing the field. |
