Under the warm blanket
I listen to the music of the rain
To the hollow percussive sound of its drops on the leaves
Above the luscious leafage of the trees
A moment of a drop
Out of its eternal showers
Slowly glides on top of one leaf
Clinging onto its felt-like surface
For another shattered fragment of time
And in the background, a lonely bird laments
The suffering-song of its existence
I listen to the music of the rain
To the hollow percussive sound of its drops on the leaves
Above the luscious leafage of the trees
A moment of a drop
Out of its eternal showers
Slowly glides on top of one leaf
Clinging onto its felt-like surface
For another shattered fragment of time
And in the background, a lonely bird laments
The suffering-song of its existence

(translated from Hebrew)
מִתַּחַת לַשְּׂמִיכָה הַחֲמִימָה
אֲנִי מַקְשִׁיב לִנְגִינַת־הַגֶּשֶׁם
לִנְקִישָׁתָן הַחֲלוּלָה שֶׁל טִפּוֹתָיו עַל הֶעָלִים
מֵעַל
שִׁפְעַת עַלְוַת־הָעֵצִים
טִפַּת־רֶגַע
מִתּוֹךְ נֵצַח מִמְטָרָיו
מַחְלִיקָה לְאִטָּהּ מֵעַל עָלֶה
נִצְמֶדֶת בְּמַעֲטֶה־הַלֶּבֶד
לְעוֹד רְסִיס שֶׁל זְמַן
וּבָרֶקַע מְקוֹנֶנֶת צִפּוֹר בּוֹדְדָה
שִׁיר
סִבְלוֹת־קִיּוּמָהּ
