Then, at school, on the wall, a picture and the farmer plows the soil in it. In the background, the cypresses, Pale hot-wind’s sky. The farmer will make grow bread for us, So we will grow.
And the teacher says: “Soon it will be Autumn” On Homeland Lesson She shows us a sea squill. Now the first rain will come, Plenty of its drops, Like a transparent curtain over the valley, And its scattered fields.
So it was, tender simplicity, It was depicted in our childhood, that was beautiful.
An so, in our imagination, the wonders multiplicated. hammers made music Plows sang. There are vine-dressers and farmers, A land of shepards – So it was depicted in our childhood, that was beautiful.
The song might be intended as the remembrance of the first lesson of the year in a first or second grade classroom. The season is Israeli late Summer (September). Shiur Moledet (Homeland Lesson) mean A lesson in "Know your Land". The teacher explains to the yougsters the coming of Autumn, with the classic Isreaeli signs of it: The chatzav (sea squill) a typical blossom of the hot Mediterranean areas, and the Yoreh (Hebrew name of the First Rain of the season), which is preceeded by the hot wind (hebrew=sharav, Arab=chamsin) of the late Summer. In the Italian translation I substituted them with the italian Autumn signs: chestnuts and vintage.

Alle Elementari, in un quadretto, l? ara il contadino, per i campi va. Cipressi sullo sfondo in cielo il sole tondo, il contadino ci dar? del pane e noi crescerem.
La maestra, alla lavagna, “L’Autunno - Fa - E’ con noi” ci mostra una castagna, un tino, il vino e poi la prima pioggia c’?, mille gocce che stenderanno un velo trasparente sulla valle d’or.
Tenera et?, Semplicit?, come un disegno di bambini, era tanto bello, sai.
In quei tempi belli: nell’immaginazion suonavano i martelli e l’aratro una canzon. Vigne coi fattori. Greggi coi pastori, come in un disegno di bambini, era tanto bello, sai.
