If I Visit One Day (by Vered Alpert)

If I Visit One Day

Vered Alpert

If I visit one day

To Cairo

I will go to see the street

El Geish 182

That was once called

Farouk Street

To see where

My father was born

After that

I will go by foot

To the Great Synagogue

Sha'ar Hashamayim

In Adly Street

In the neighborhood of Ismaleyiah

Where worked

My grandfather

After that

I will look for the school

Maoise Katooi

Where my father studied,

I will also search for,

The Jewish Hospital

Where worked -

Or maybe first I will go to see

The Nile,

Yes,

First I will go to see

The Nile.
