Dumam
(A young woman still loves a man who has died, 
and her yearnings for him are only answered by silence.)

(lyrics: Oded Avissar, music: Moshe Wilensky)
Esther Ofarim sang it at the International Song Festival in Sopot, Poland 1962.
She first recorded it in Israel, 1961 and later in Switzerland, 1962.
