The Friendship
Lyrics: Chaim Guri
Music: Sasha Argov
An autumn night falls on the Negev
Igniting stars softly in silence
While the wind passes the threshold
Clouds stroll on the road.
It's been a year, we had hardly felt
How time had passed in our fields
It's a year and we're only a few
Since many have not made it through
But we shall remember them all
The forelocks and their demeaner
Since friendship as such is forever
that always remain in our hearts
This love that was sanctioned with blood
Shall return and among us shall grow
We have carried you – friendship – without words
Grey, stubborn and silent as you are
In the horror of those awful nights
You remained shining so bright
Friendship –as your youths – one and all
Once again, we shall smile as we walk
Since friends who have fallen on their swords
Have left you as a memory alone.
And we shall remember them all....
