Sharon Cohen (Hebrew: דנה אינטרנשיונל‎), professionally known as Dana International (born Yaron Cohen, 2 February, 1972) is an Israeli pop singer of a Yemenite Jewish, and Romanian Jewish origin.

She is most famous for having won the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest with her song “Diva.” She is arguably one of the most famous transsexual celebrities in the world. Her career began in 1992, and since then she has released eight albums and three additional compilation albums, positioning herself as one of Israel’s most successful musical acts ever.

She was born Yaron Cohen to Yemenite parents as the youngest of three children after sister Limor and brother Nimrod. Cohen was named after an uncle who had been killed during a terrorist attack. Though born biologically male, Cohen identified as a female from a very young age. Cohen wanted to become a singer ever since she was eight-years-old and saw legendary Israeli singer Ofra Haza performing her song “Chai” in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. Although the family was quite poor, Cohen’s mother worked to pay for Cohen’s music lessons, and she has explained that her childhood was rather happy.

Cohen came out as transsexual at the age of 13.

The first tragedy in Cohen’s life was the death of her best friend Daniel, who died in an automobile accident. Cohen asserts that Daniel had prophesied that she would someday have a successful singing career, and claims that Daniel’s prediction is what pushed her to become the singer she wanted to be.

 

Lyrics 

 

The good and the bad look quite the same,

After all the things I’ve been gone through.

 

From all the loves and all the memories,

From the way I started to the way I ended up.

 

I do not know what other people think

Of the way which I walked in,

It doesn’t matter what they say.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

The justice and the crime look quite the same,

After all the things I’ve done.

 

The same stars in night and day are above the walls I’ve built.

I do not know what other people think

On the way which I walked in, it doesn’t matter what they say.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

 

I was the most malicious person in the world.

I did the perfect journey.

 

I want it all.

I touched it all.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

 

I won. I won.

 

I’ve succeeded, failed, fell and raised.

I won. I won.

I won.

הטוב והרע נראים לגמרי

אחרי כל הדברים שעברתי

 

מכל האהבות וכל הזיכרונות 

שגמרתי איך עד מאיך שהתחלתי

 

אחרים אני לא יודעת מה חושבים

שבה הלכתי הדרך על (כי)

לא חשוב לי מה אומרים

 

אני ניצחתי.  .ניצחתי אני

 

ניצחתי נכשלתי, נפלתי וקמתי          

אני ניצחתי.  .ניצחתי אני

 

(את) ניצחתי נכשלתי, נפלתי וקמתי              

 

הצדק והפשע נראים לגמרי

אחרי כל הדברים שעשיתי

 

כוכבים אותם ובלילה  ביום

מהחומות שבניתי

אחרים אני לא יודעת מה חושבים

שבה הלכתי הדרך על

לא חשוב לי מה אומרים

 

אני ניצחתי.  .ניצחתי אני

ניצחתי נכשלתי, נפלתי וקמתי

מכל האהבות וכל הזיכרונות 

שגמרתי איך עד מאיך שהתחלתי
