ברוש [Brosh] [English translation]

And I saw a cypress

Positioned in a field facing the sun

In the heat, in the frost

Against the storm.

To his side swayed the cypress

Didn’t break when his top bent to the grass.

And there, in front of the sea

The cypress arose strong and green.

Cypress alone

Against fire and water.

Cypress alone

Up to the sky.

A cypress alone, [he is] strong.

If only I could learn

The way of one tree.

And I am like a baby

That breaks, and can’t against the sun.

In the heat, in the frost

Against the storm.
