Ha'etz Shebagan

The Tree in the Garden

by Eyal Golan

Copied!
ani shuv nizkar venischaf leever
I remember again and drift to the past
lirchovot yalduti el haetz shebagan
To the streets of my childhood to the tree in the garden
sham raiti otah basimla habeluya
There I saw her in the worn-out dress
ochezet michchol mul tziur shedaha
Holding a paintbrush before a faded painting
uvaleylot hakarim, od kotev lecha shirim
And on cold nights, still writing you songs
umsachek adayin beotam mischakim sheahavnu
And still playing those same games we loved
sheahavnu
That we loved
ratzinu lauf ratzinu ligdol
We wanted to fly we wanted to grow up
ratzinu lehagshim et kol hachalomot
We wanted to make all our dreams come true
lifamim baleylot roe otah
Sometimes at night I see her
ole al rakevet amusat zichronot
Boarding a train loaded with memories
shehotarta meaz halachta
That you left behind since you went away
nosea lesham el haetz shebagan
Traveling there to the tree in the garden
leir yalduti sherchoka im hazeman
To my childhood city that grew distant with time
veomrim yesh echad shehu ketzat meshuga
And they say there's someone who's a little crazy
oker et hatov umashke et hara
Uprooting the good and watering the bad
vaani becha nizkar, gam haetz shebagan
And I remember you, also the tree in the garden
bazemanim hatovim baleylot sheyadanu ahava
In the good times, in the nights we knew love
ahava
Love
