חופים הם לפעמים [Khofim hem lifamim] [English translation]

Seashores sometimes yearn for the brook.

I once saw a shore

To which no brook flows.

That shore had a broken heart of sand and stone.

And a man, a man, he also sometimes is able

To be abandoned and helpless

Just like that shore.

The seashells also are

Like the shores, like the wind,

Seashells also sometimes yearn

For the house that we always loved

Earlier. And only the sea

Is singing lonely its song in them.

Similarly, in the depths of the human heart the youth is singing.
