MEMORIES
They lengthen with the yearslike the bangs hiding my eyes.
Koo-koo! Koo-koo!
No one sees me.
And what can I do with them
if not pull them back from my face
gather them into the tail
of a Trojan horse
opening all the gates to the past.

הֵם מִתְאָרְכִים עִם הַשָּׁנִים
כְּמוֹ פּוֹנִי הַמַּסְתִּיר אֶת עֵינַי:
קוּ-קוּ! קוּ-קוּ!
אַף אֶחָד לֹא רוֹאֶה אוֹתִי.
וּמָה לַּעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם
אִם לֹא לִמְשֹׁךְ מֵהַפָּנִים אָחוֹרָה,
לֶאֱסֹף לִזְנַב סוּס
טְרוֹיָאנִי
הַפּוֹתֵחַ אֶת כָּל הַשְּׁעָרִים לֶעָבָר.
כְּמוֹ פּוֹנִי הַמַּסְתִּיר אֶת עֵינַי:
קוּ-קוּ! קוּ-קוּ!
אַף אֶחָד לֹא רוֹאֶה אוֹתִי.
וּמָה לַּעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם
אִם לֹא לִמְשֹׁךְ מֵהַפָּנִים אָחוֹרָה,
לֶאֱסֹף לִזְנַב סוּס
טְרוֹיָאנִי
הַפּוֹתֵחַ אֶת כָּל הַשְּׁעָרִים לֶעָבָר.
