AFIFONIM
Afor gashum ume’unan
Nof yaldut shachor lavan
Kmo seret shemachzir
Oti bazman
Me’ir namal el rosh ha’har
Hageshem metaftef vekar
Mul chalon chayai haru’ach shar
Orot shel zichronot shmurim
Kolot ne’elamim chozrim
Po hayu hakadarim ba’im
Ma machzir oti lechan
Mashehu betochi muchan
Po hish’arti shever be’anan
Le’at um’eat hu noge’a kim’at
Magi’a elai chozer venimlat
Uche’ilu hazman ne’etzar vechozer le’achor
Le’at ve’od ktzat hu omer li she’at
Lo ra’it, lo shama’at, lo ratzit, lo yadat
Veachshav ze ani shemachzir et chayai le’atzmi
Shtikot, pchadim, gsharim, srufim
Tmunot urega’im tzrufim
Olim yordim afifonim afim
Levad ba’arafel sheli
Sagarti gam otach iti
At hayit sham velo ra’it oti
Od machsom kdey la’avor
Yeled ish muchan lachzor
Kan yaldut nish’eret me’achor
Ma machzir oti........

KITES
Grey, rainy, cloudy
Scenery of childhood black and white
Like in a movie
Brings me back in time
From a port city to the top of the mountain
The rain drizzles and is cold
In front of my life’s window the wind sings
Lights of guarded memories
Voices come and disappear
Here the Kadarim came
(a game played in Israel with two groups of people)
What brings me back here?
Something in me is ready
Here I left a crack in the cloud
Slowly and a little, it is almost touching
Reaches me and escapes again
And as time stopped and goes back
Slowly and a little it tells me that you
Didn’t see, didn’t hear, didn’t want, didn’t know
And now it is me who brings my life back to me
Silence, fears, bridges, burns
Pictures purified moments
Go up and down, kites are flying
Alone in my fog
I closed you too, together with me
You were there but you didn’t see me
Another barrier to cross
A man/child ready to come back
Childhood here stays behind
What brings me……..
