The Small Trip
Lyrics and Melody: Naomi Shemer
To the trip we went
An anemone we found
on the western grass hill,
On the mountain we climbed
And from there we saw,
And from there we rushed down.
We met an old tortoise on the way
With a huge house on its back,
In a wonderful procession
A thousand ants carried a grasshopper.
In the water puddle
We put our feet
On the beach we sat in a boat,
In the alfalfa section
we played catch
All the lizards were terrified
We arrived in a row at the vineyard
A wind stormed and broke a branch,
There among the mole piles
each of us gathered a thousand cyclamens.
Then we got very tired
and returned home,
The sun was already setting
and it was late.
Just inside the grass
An anemone whispers,
'Return safely
We'll meet tomorrow'.
