I remember almost everything,
Me and Jonathan in the rain,
Scrapes on our knees,
Skipping in the water,
But clear skies.
I remember almost everything,
Smells of mom’s cooking,
And baking cakes,
Before the wars,
When we were called kids.
I remember almost everything,
And you clearly saying,
My beast, hug me,
Tell me what’s on your heart.
I remember almost everything,
Every part of the road
And a few failures
A few victories
A few shards of life
I remember almost everything,
Long nights waiting for the sun,
Freezing on some mountain,
Until tomorrow comes,
How we grew, young.
I remember almost everything,
Grandpa standing at the synagogue,
Whispering Kol Nidre1 and blessing,
They used to believe in words.
I remember me, you,
In love somewhere,
On the balcony.
Bread, cream and blankets,
What else do we need, my love?
I remember almost everything,
Every corner, every crack,
And a few failures
A few victories
A few shards of life
I remember almost everything,
Jerusalem, all the guys,
Drunk on the streets,
No worries on our minds,
No past and no future.
I remember almost everything,
Crossing India by a train,
Squeezing in Beit Chabad2,
Smiling from side to side.
In the east you can be innocent.
I remember me kissing your back,
Before you fall asleep
Asking for G-d,
Please, look after her,
There are bad men too.
I remember almost everything,
Every word, every part,
And a few failures
A few victories
A few shards of life.
A few shards of life
I remember almost everything,
Me and Jonathan in the rain,
Scrapes on our knees,
Skipping in the water,
But clear skies
