[The poem was written by Yossi Banai, the rest of the text also appears on the sign in English]
Me and Simon and Little Moise And sometimes when I am so alone
I return to the alleys of my childhood
To my youth that disappeared with the years
To my friends who are old
I return to the colors and the sounds
To the innocent and great eyes
I return to the neighborhood to the mulberry tree
To the red kite Tied with a string
We were children and this was a time
Me and Simon and little Moise
I remember the days of Cinema Rex
And the sound of church bells
And how we chased pigeons on the roofs
We wanted to fly with them to the clouds
And in the playground on the swings
We swore faithfully to all the girls
We played with a "Small" and a horse Long and Rasiot
The battles were not real
We were children and this was a time
Me and Simon and little Moise
In Sabbath boots and a beret
And in a beautiful Hebrew with the letters Ain and Chet
We galloped to a cloud made of pillows
And with a Corkscrew gun we sank ships
I was Tarzan and Simon Errol Flynn
And little Moise jumped like Gonga Din
And on very cold winter nights
We were wrapped in all the dreams
We were children and this was long time ago
me And Simon and Little Moise
Years have passed since then, now the city is great
From Simon we do not hear even a word
And Little Moise, where did he disappear
And the Rex Cinema did not exist either
But when I am alone
I return to the alleys of my childhood
To my youth that disappeared with the years
To my old friends
We were children and this was a time
Me and Simon And Moiz the Little
