Nili Ben-Yehezkel and Emi – Translation from Hebrew
Echo
I still remember: passage ways
Mountains stood like water pillars;
From the summit I was singing loud and clear,
I shouted: hooray, youth!
An echo replied.
Years went by. The glow faded,
Summits became planes.
But the mountain echo loud and clear
But the mountain echo now as then
I still remember.
Happy is the heart that saved
For a day of wrath and calamity –
At least an image, or a sound, At least a shadow of a gentle radiance,
At least an echo.
