מצאתי בארון [Matzati Ba'Aron] [English translation]

I found in my closet a harmonica and a piece of paper,

And I remembered some songs that I forgot about a long time ago

about a balcony that someone played

the flute on, for another fading loved one.

I found in my closet Siddur and Tefillin,

And I remembered some prayers that I forgot about a long time ago

about the scents of spicy snuffs

and Zemirot of compassion.

I found an old shirt and I remembered this pain

of a friend that I had, of faded innocence,

And of serenity that I've lost long ago, long ago.

I found the drawing of a girl and I was flooded by memories

of simple dreams about the flight of a bird,

And of a thornbush that left these scars of simplicity.

I found in my closet a beret and a dog tag,

And I remembered the smell of the gunpowder

that burned my innocence

and made me forget how to be a child.

Then I found an old shirt and I remembered this pain

of a friend that I had, of faded innocence,

And of serenity that I've lost long ago, long ago.

I found the drawing of a girl and I was flooded by memories

of simple dreams about the flight of a bird,

And of a thornbush that left these scars of simplicity.

I found in my closet an old pair of shoes,

And I remembered these paths that I've walked on, all beautiful and well-built,

Those shoes are like the paths that I've walked on.
