The seeds of summer
Lyrics: Meir Ariel
Music: Meir Ariel and Shalom Hanoch
The seeds of summer
Are carried on the wind
Awakening memories
Awakening yearnings
The seeds of summer come into our nostrils
And hint at what kind of summer
It is going to be
One morning I opened a window
And immediately there was the slightest of smells
Summer of the kind that was here in the past
I said come summer – a strong summer
How would you like to be
A flower that turns into a white white ball?
A slight breeze will come in the evening time
It will disperse your head further and further someplace
Would you want to be a breaking wave
On a beach full of bathers?
Make me a king anointed with salt
Crowned with seeds of seaweed
Would you want to be a stolen cigarette
In the mouths of youths with their first desire
Or would you then suck and inhale the ash
They will say it is flickering – the flickering
The seeds of summer
Are carried on the wind
Awakening memories
Awakening yearnings
The seeds of summer
Come into our nostrils
And hint at the kind of summer
That it is going to be –
So what is the summer that is coming
From which I get the slightest of smells
A wave of love travelling to us
Breaks on a yearning in the distance
The seeds of summer
Are carried on the wind
Awakening memories
Awakening yearnings
The seeds of summer come into our nostrils
And hint at the kind of summer
That it is going to be
