The Land
If you'll ask any one:'is this is your land
only say: what does she say to you?'
can't answer
because this land
is different in the eyes of every one
However if my son or daughter
will also ask me:
'What does this land mean to you? -
so say to them: i'll explain to you
and you'll explain to your children!'
Because this land
because this land
is joy for me
watered with tears
she is a silent prayer
she is the dream of generations
she is the yearning of our roots
that sprouted treetops
she is a field of clover
she is like a joyful child
like an elderly man praying
she is everything for me
she is my land.
Because this land
she is heatwaves and thorns
and youthful smiles
and orchard smells
it's maybe old fashioned
it sounds Zionist
but i am
and she is for me
she is my land
she is a grove of dates
in the desolate desert
she is a crazy dream
that suddenly came true
there are important people from my land
there are beautiful ones also but she
she is my land
