שיר תשרי [Shir Tishrei] [English translation]

The sky is changing

before the eyes of the farmers.

The neighbors are getting ready

for the Days of Atonement.

Somebody is thinking of you

and writing down your deeds.

Come home quickly

with the cool wind.

Come home quickly

with the cool wind.

Mandarins ripen

in the orchard at their time.

The teachers cough

and go to bed early.

I've already seen a wagtail**

and maybe I just imagined it-

another heat wave ended yesterday.

Summer vacation has ended.

Another heat wave ended yesterday.

Summer vacation has ended.

"What will happen and what will pass?"

ask the reporters,

as along Highway 2

the sea squills stand straight.

In the evening newspapers

what does the headline say?

Come home quickly

with the cool wind.

Come home quickly.
