He asks why you are silent / brother, I saw you quietlyI’m crying for you brother, can not get over / Is there another chance that everything will work out here? My brother, a tear of a man is a heavier tear than a woman with a heart of stone, My brother, how can I lock my heart / what is the remedy for pain and sorrow / my brother, how can I relieve your pain / even the strongest man would shed tears with you? “Sigal, Yigal’s sister, writes to him:” With a painful heart and bitter weeping / Do not understand why it ‘s all over. I sometimes look at the window / and think that everything is imagination / And when I’m dreaming of you / I want to tell you how much I love you / I want to tell you how much I love you / Is there any chance we’ll see each other? There ‘s another chance we’ d be killed. In my heart there is a strong trust / because you want more than anything else. “Yigal’s family members write:” Smile, our child smiled / turned, they are your face / our lives, they are your smile / do not cry / stay with me / We will dance / enjoy our children, enjoy / the happiness in you and the joy / laugh our son, laugh / who will always find strength in us / spend our children “Do not be sad, because you are always in our hearts Gold / Do not be sad and regret” Because you will always be with us forever We will live forever among us And my brother, in pictures We will remember you forever, but above all you will be among us, where you can not see, only feel, miss and love … “And more, according to the letters of Yigal’s name:” Y – Yigal, “You are always in us.” – “We have left pain, which you will always find in our hearts.”
