Israeli Singer Publishes a Song In Hebrew — and Perl

Posted by timothy on from the tank-driver-coder-songwriter->-singer-song-writer dept.

Noiser writes "The Israeli pop singer Aya Korem published her new song "Computer Engineer" as a website that shows translation to the Perl programming language along with the lyrics. Perl is quite a good match, given that the Perl community has a long tradition of publishing "Perl poetry", and this song proves that this tradition is very much alive. No Flash is required to view the website, so if you are an HTML5 geek, have no worries."

    (from the Hebrew, not the Perl)

    It's funny that you married a computer engineer
    It's funny, in the end you went to study like everyone
    You told me you wanted to live out of the box
    You told me you wanted to conquer the world

    I remember you breathing

    It's funny that you now have a office and secretary
    And a beautiful white Mazda company car
    You told me once you are afraid of commitment
    You told me you can't be mine

    I remember you breathing

    Ai-oh He has no problems
    Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
    Ai-oh He has an investment fund
    Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already

    Let me guess, you bought a house in the neighborhood
    To not be far from the parents
    How all the houses look exactly the same
    And all the people look very happy

    I remember you breathing

    Ai-oh He has no problems
    Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
    Ai-oh He has an investment fund
    Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already
