This will appear before our eyes in all those pictures / walking in front of us in all those thousands of ways / between a restaurant and a counter, The smell of the memories as light flashes / light bombs 52 mm El Al are rising / And as they come down and fade / But your figure the company commander will be etched in them forever / Until we meet again One of those roads. “
