Nadzieja umiera ostatnia
Powrót do ziemi praojców
Wołanie o pamięć
Każdy odzyskany dzień
Nigun penimi
Jetzt wohin?
Nawet gdy się śmieję
L'espoir ne meurt jamais
Naděje umírá poslední
L'espoir est le dernier à mourir
ha-Ḥayim ke-tiḳṿah
Shirim li-fene umi-tokh ha-mabul
Nie o kwiatach
Życie każdemu drogie
Moje życie zaczęło się od końca
Wciąż pytają...
