Secret Love

You see

I'm wearing the dress you love

In my ear lobes - precious stone earrings

I let my hair hang down

I put the makeup colors aside

And the thighs want to tremble

While the heart wants to fly to you

Now that you are gazing upon me again

My eyes rise to you from afar

And you answer in a primordial tongue

"I love you"

TRANSLATION NADAVI NOKED

Shattered

How I've wandered to the mountain tops

To pick up the bell of illusions, mounted up high

And as I descended to the valley of your mulberry trees

I found you shattered like a boulder

Blown to pieces with dynamite.

In this love

Worms are biting you

And you keep asking

What I am doing here

I want to be

The bedrock of your liberty

TRANSLATION NADAVI NOKED

A Night Of Remorse

You spilled the glass of wine on my dress

And here I am, as see through

As your mourning face

Which is lamenting the distances of time

And the place where we stood

Merely hours ago

Can't you see

I am standing on the docks of regret

Waiting for you to reach out

Extend your invisible arms to me

And only know

that our fate is to lead our life

Without points of contact

I shall bear my dream in mind

To the sideways

And there I shall burn
