Heart of Gold
I have no money and no rich uncle
No old uncle to leave an inheritance
I have no big shiny car
Because I'm just an ordinary girl like that
I have no home surrounded by fences
Nor a swimming pool in my yard
I have no big wardrobe or fur coat
Because I'm just an ordinary girl like that
I have a heart of gold, I have a heart of gold
And you, and you, to love me
I don't have that kind of spoiled Persian cat
I have no corset to smother my body
I don't have those quirks like in Shenkin-Florentine[1]
Nor a short hairstyle styled with Brilliantine[2]
I have no membership in a country club
I have no boyfriend to tell me "my love"
I have no suite in Hilton or Dan[3]
Because I'm that kind of girl who only belongs here
I have a heart of gold, I have a heart of gold
And you, and you, to love me

About translator
[1] Shenkin street and Florentine neighbourhood are two areas of Tel Aviv stereotypically identified with a kind of sophisticated, hipster urban culture - the opposite of Sarit Hadad's simple, small-town image celebrated in this song.
[2] Brilliantine used to be kind of a generic term for hair gels long ago. Presumably, it's here to hint at hairstyles you could find on Tel-Aviv based female rock singers, but would never pass in the conservative areas Sarit Hadad comes from.
[3] Hilton and Dan are fancy hotels in Tel-Aviv (and elsewhere).
