Broshim (=cypresses)
Esther Ofarim, Israeli Song Festival 1961
(lyrics by Chaim Guri, music by Shlomo Verbner)

Tchila anu kor’im aleyhem ve’ozvim otam lenafsham
Ka’avor zman hem nitzavim me’aleyhem
Achar hem holchim umitkofefim
Vehem chotzim et kav ha’re’afim
Levasof yesh me’itanu shochvim al gabam baborot
Vehem nerot ilan bevatey hakvarot.

Vekarati besepher atik she’eyneni zocher et shmo
Uvo ne’e’mar ki hem tzel ha’a’huvim shenilkechu el baruch shmo
Uvo ne’e’mar ki hem tzel ha’a’huvim shenilkechu el baruch shmo.

thanx to Yuval Niv for the lyrics!
