En Devar ("Never Mind") was the Israeli entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 in Copenhagen performed by Tal Sondak.
The song is a ballad, with Sondak singing to his lover and telling her that whatever is troubling her should not be dwelled upon. Rather, he tells her, she should let the words of his song wash away her troubles.
It was performed 5th on the night following Norway and preceding Russia. At the close of voting, it finished in 16th place with 25 points.

Im nidme shekol haderech lashav
Im nidme shelibi karu’a achshav
Yesh min zemer she’ole bi veshar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Im ko’ev lach, shtei enaich dom’ot
Im ko’ev lach ve’en siman laba’ot
Azamer lach, eltof roshech ad tsavar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Ki hazemer haze menachem levavot
Lo mevater, hu motse netivot
Shav vehofech ra’ot letovot
Vechozer hanigun hamukar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Mul gal osher, yam ha’etsev hu rav
Or vachoshech nilchamim aleinu achshav
Rak hazemer od ole, ahuv umukar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Ki hazemer haze menachem levavot
Lo mevater, hu motse netivot
Shav vehofech ra’ot letovot
Vechozer hanigun hamukar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Lalalala… lalalala lala…
Lalalala… lalala…
Ki hazemer haze menachem levavot
Lo mevater, hu motse netivot
Shav vehofech ra’ot letovot
Vechozer hanigun hamukar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
Vechozer hanigun hamukar
Ein davar, ein davar, ein davar
(Lalalala… lalalala lala…)
Od tir’i, ahuva, ein davar
If it seems like the entire way was in vain
If it seems like my heart is torn now
There is a kind of song that rises in me and sings
Never mind, never mind, never mind
If it pains you, your two eyes are in tears
If it pains you and there’s no sign for what’s to come
I will sing to you, caress your head up to your neck
Never mind, never mind, never mind
Because this song consoles hearts
Doesn’t give up, it always finds ways
Turns bad into good time and again
And the familiar melody returns
Never mind, never mind, never mind
In front of a wave of joy, the sea of sorrow is large
Light and darkness are fighting over us now
Only the song is still rising, beloved and familiar
Never mind, never mind, never mind
Because this song consoles hearts
Doesn’t give up, it always finds ways
Turns bad into good time and again
And the familiar melody returns
Never mind, never mind, never mind
Lalalala… lalalala lala…
Lalalala… lalala…
Because this song consoles hearts
Doesn’t give up, it always finds ways
Turns bad into good time and again
And the familiar melody returns
Never mind, never mind, never mind
And the familiar melody returns
Never mind, never mind, never mind
(Lalalala… lalalala lala…)
You’ll see, sweetheart, never mind
