כמו צמח בר [Kmo Tzemach Bar] [English translation]

Tomorrow, I will be so far away,

Don’t search, I won’t be found.

Those with forgiving hearts,

Forgive me of this love unmade.

Yes, time will heal the pain,

And I must set off on my way.

The one who loved me will return unto your fields

From desert’s glower,

He’ll understand – I lived amongst you, not unlike

A wild flower.

My eyes, they want to open and awake,

In time, I want to grow.

I’ve dreamt devouring dreams

They left me dazzled and afraid.

I sought to comfort you

But all my passions were betrayed.

And in my arms – the storms, the childhood enchantment

I held so tight,

They sparked a fire, so intense and so forbidden

It lit the night.

Yes once, we shared the longing of our nights,

Our days were built on sand*

We harbored hidden hurts

And moments of pure wild aband’n.

You fixed your gaze on me,

Upon my shoulder laid your hand.

I’ll be a shadow on your fields, a passing secret,

But for an hour;

Farewell my friends, I lived amongst you, not unlike

A wild flower.
