חורשת האקליפטוס [Churshat Ha'Ekaliptuss] [English translation]

When mother came here

beautiful and young

then Dad built her a house on a hill.

The springs passed

half a century passed

and in the meantime the curls(of hair) turned grey.

But on the shore of Jordan

Nothing great happened

The same silence

the same place

The eucaliptus forest

the bridge and the boat

and the salty smell above the water

The eucaliptus forest

the bridge and the boat

and the salty smell above the water

Here it comes down the trail,

the group of babies

They are in Jordan paddling with their legs.

The babies have grown up

they've already learnt to crawl

and the youths

are strolling in pairs
