ילדה אישה [Yalda Isha] [English translation]

Young women stand at a hitchhiking stop

With a bag for a few days

on their backs

To find a corner in the Kinneret1

You get out of the car

Join them

I give gas

Open a window

Am silent

I wanted to prevent you from hurting

I prevented you from living

Go my daughter

Go my love

You are on the warm sand

in a boat

And the sea plays you

Your song

and your heart opens

An open window, hair in the wind

Something finished

A girl woman

Frightened of herself

Traveling far

To laugh to erase

Learning to live

You are not alone

Never alone
