Rain on a Battlefield/ Yehuda Amichai

It rains on my friends’ faces,
On my live friends’ faces,
Those who cover their heads with a blanket.
And it rains on my dead friends’ faces,
Those who are covered by nothing.

(Translated by Assia Gutmann)

Geshem yored al pnei re’ai;
al pnei re’ai hachaim,
asher mechasim rashei’hem bis’micha –
ve’al pnei re’ai hametim, asher einam mechasim od.
