Narrator: Gaza
was an innocent child, beautiful and bold.
She flies with both her
wings, races the birds, soars over the clouds, sleeps between the flowers
and herbs.
Soars over the clouds,
sleeps between the flowers and herbs.
Suddenly, the day turns
into a fearful night and the sky was shrouded with black smoke. The
birds called her: "Gaza, run away as fast as you can. The enemy
destroyed your home and killed your parents."
Gaza rose up with all
its might, rejecting running away or defeat. Gaza rose up with all its
might, rejecting running away or defeat.
Carrying the scattered
stones of her demolished home, she ran quickly after the murderer to
throw stones with her tender hands on the vicious faces of the enemy.
To throw stones with
her tender hands on the vicious faces of the enemy. The enemy saw her.
He hated her childhood.
He hated her heroism. He aimed the gun, he shot.
The bullet rested, the
bullet rested on the chest of Gaza, penetrating her.
To the bosom of a small
girl returned it to the eye of that ugly soldier and rooted it out.
He retreated shouting. Gaza smiled, giving bye to life with dignity.
Many and many children
will follow her example, and every day Gaza will be born anew.
