The Musician

In this story, Ori, a street musician in Tel Aviv, spends an afternoon playing guitar on Dizengoff Street, watches people pass by, and has one unexpected moment that makes the whole day worth it.

Uri אורי higi'a הגיע le'Dizengoff לדיזנגוף bi'shtayim בשתייים ba'tzohorayim בצהריים im עם gitara גיטרה yeshana ישנה ve'tzipiyot וציפיות nemuchot נמוכות she'lamad שלמד lishmor לשמור aleihen עליהן be'kavana בכוונה

Ori arrived at Dizengoff at two in the afternoon with an old guitar and low expectations that he had learned to keep intentionally.

hu הוא matza מצא et את ha'pina הפינה ha'regila הרגילה shelo שלו leyad ליד beit בית ha'kafe הקפה ‎, patach פתח et את tik תיק ha'gitara הגיטרה al על ha'midraka המדרכה ‎, ve'kiven וכיוון et את ha'meitarim המיתרים le'at לאט

He found his usual corner near the café, opened the guitar case on the sidewalk, and tuned the strings slowly.

הַמְּדִינָה נִמְצֵאת בְּמֶרְכַּז הָאָרֶץ וְיֵשׁ בָּהּ הַרְבֵּה מְקוֹמוֹת יָפִים ‎. .

The country is located in the center of the land and has many beautiful places.

בַּבֹּקֶר הָלַכְנוּ לַשּׁוּק הַגָּדוֹל וְקָנִינוּ פֵּרוֹת טְרִיִּים ‎. .

In the morning we went to the big market and bought fresh fruit.

אַחֲרֵי הַצָּהֳרַיִם יָשַׁבְנוּ בַּגִּנָּה וְדִבַּרְנוּ עַל הַחַיִּים ‎. .

In the afternoon we sat in the garden and talked about life.

הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָׁקְעָה לְאַט וְהָרוּחַ נָשְׁבָה בְּעַדְנוּת ‎. .

The sun set slowly and the wind blew gently.
