העלה [Ha Aleh] [English translation]

When the leaf fell down, the whole forest panicked

Picked off from its branch

For a moment it is here

The next moment it is not

(INTERLUDE)

"Nothing is safe anymore these days"

Said the knowledgeable roots

"A leaf of such bright green color returns to dust"

(Stanza 1)

(INTERLULDE)

"He doesn't behave like the days before"

Lamented the treetop with a bitter voice

"A leaf of such bright green color returns to dust"

(INTERLUDE)

And the branch stayed silent

Didn't say a word

Though he knew that in the morning,

Another leaf would grow from him

It doesn't help
