Lights wink in the port of Haifa.
Come to our city, they invite you!
A dress of flowers adorns the Carmel,
A scent of pines spreads in the breeze

Green figs,
red wine,
a white flower,
a piece of bread,
That's what we have,
Come with us....
Naomi Shemer
From Haifa to Near Faraway Cairo
I recall the velvet sugar-cane juice
we drank together
with the smooth blue air
under the open skies,
the sunflower seeds
we cracked together
with jokes
echoing laughter in the sun.
How sweet the roasted sweet-potatoes
were in those rainbow days
of pretty sugar dolls.
But unlike you dear Kadreya,
Friend of my sunny schooldays,
I was told I was just
a visiting guest
though born in the land of the Nile.
Ordered by Egypt my Jewish wings to spread
to search for a new nest,
I have found it on Mount Carmel
and here I mean to stay.
My foremost wish today
is our soldier sons
to bathe in the peaceful rays
their mothers wove
when younger than they
in the near faraway
Rainbow days.
