Hayo hayta giv’a achat shtufat prachim,

Hayo hayta bikta achat,

Ata, bintot tzilo hazman

Pit’om tachush eich yad hazman

Od tisha’er giv’a kazot

A SMALL HILL
There was a small hill full of flowers,
watered by dew
There was a small hut,
a sole wooden shed
in the wide open spaces
When shadow comes upon it,
memories and longing
They shiver in the fog
with wind moving the weeds
The pupils of your eyes are shut
Listen deep into your life
On your grey hill,
the fog screen trembles
You will walk bare foot and passing thoughts
On the grass and above you
At the end of the day,
bats will hover in a beautiful flight
Old steel,
plow’s blade rusted by rain and dew
All that wilted and dried out
turned to ashes
You will feel suddenly
how the hand of time fills the eyelids
And puts heavy years on your tired shoulder
Continue wandering in the trails
far away from the mercy of your youth
But close to them to follow the early years
Your hill, your beautiful, man,
you are blessed, if after you go
A hill like this one will stay on,
full of flowers and memories.
