Izabo is an Israeli band. Their musical style is diverse, ranging from indie rock, disco and Middle Eastern music. They represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, with the song "Time".
Izabo's debut LP, The Fun Makers, was released late 2003 to great critical acclaim. The songs Morning Hero and Cook Me became significant radio hits in Israel. In the following months Izabo signed on to Sony BMG, which released their British debut, The Morning Hero EP. The release was accompanied by a concert tour which took Izabo to England, Scotland and the Netherlands.
Izabo collaborated with a large variety of artists, on stage and in the studio, from Ahuva Ozeri to award winning choreographer, Ohad Naharin.
Izabo's collaboration with Shotei Hanevuah produced the hit single "Hu", which won the Music 24's "song of the year" award.
Their second LP, Super Light, was released in July 2008. The first single out of the LP is "Slow Disco", released on June 16, 2008.
On March 2010, the band released a music video for their song "On My Way" using Apple Inc.'s iPhones as a creative motif.
Time, time, don't let me down,
You're the man in my playground.
What you say, I will obey
Night and day.
Feel free to turn me on,
Feel free to change my song,
I will start and you'll go on
Sing my song.
I say...
Chorus:
Zman-man
Ten li rak siman-man
Ten li et hazman
Lama lokhets alay
Tishan
You don't know what you talk about
Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan
Time, time, don't you be mine,
I will feed his songs and wine.
I'll make you lazy, I'll make you late.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait, wait, we two are one,
But you always take the lead.
I lay down and you just run,
Minds your sweep.
I say...
Chorus
You don't know what you talk about
Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan.
You don't know what you talk about
