The Tree of Stars
"My grandpa had a field with one wonderful tree, / there's none like it in the whole world, says my grandpa. / Fruit does not grow on it, because anyway / the fruit ends up rotting and no one needs them / / This is the Star Tree which lights up the eyes / There they grow and rise like on the sky…"
Later I found out that the man who wrote this song, Leib Morgentoi, made aliyah to Israel and he lives in Holon in a forgotten immigrant home.

later translated to Hebrew by Yoram Tharlev and sung by myself
