"Natati La Khayay" (Hebrew script: נתתי לה חיי, lit. 'I gave her my life'; the translation used by the band is "She looked me in the eye") is a song performed in Hebrew by the Israeli band Kaveret, conveying both romantic and political message. The song is Israel's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 which was recorded in several other languages, including a cover by internationally known Joe Dassin.
A musical featuring Kaveret's songs, which ran at Israel's national theatre Habima, is titled after the song. A cover version by one of Israel's most popular singers Sarit Hadad resulted in controversy over music styles and ethnicity, involving one of the band's members, other artists and Israeli parliament figures. The original version topped Israel's national Hebrew chart in 1974 as the song of the year.
