About The Queen Has No Crown

hi, my daughter (14) and me we saw your movie. I was deeply touched. It was so undisguised, honest. Please let us know, where we can find the song the Queen has no crown - i think, Tomer said, original the song says queen has no home… Is it from Chava Alberstein? Thank u very much - my daughter loves the song (and the movie as well), and I want to give it to her as a present. by the way: the movie gave us an idea of Passover. This year we are invited to our first passover near Haifa. Thanks a lot, warm greetings Martin
