We will not hear the laugh / We would have known more from afar / You would love any man / man You reached out in grief / And you were always a shield at the gate. The warm and family cabin / really suited you / what a pity you suddenly left us so suddenly on the evening of the day. / We were the symbol of goodness and kindness / And suddenly our world is destroyed. / For us, Noga will remain a star, / who peeps at us, wink in his eyes. / And you wherever you are, / always remember and be loved! “
