About the song:
Born in Italy in 1891 and raised in Florence, served as an officer in WW-I in the Italian army – wounded and awarded with several medals of honor.
In 1922, Enzo Bonaventura was appointed Professor of Psychology in the University of Florence where he founded the Department of Psychology.
In 1938, after Mussolini’s regime enforced racial laws, Bonaventura, who was Jewish, was dismissed from his position.
In 1939, he moved with his family to Israel, evading the horrible fate awaiting the Jews of Europe, and founded the Psychology department of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
In those days, for security reasons, in order to reach the university and adjacent hospital, personnel traveled in convoys.
On April 13th, 1948, a convoy was attacked… 78 doctors, nurses, patients and teachers were murdered, among them, Professor Enzo Bonaventura.
In 1995, a small and quiet street in Jerusalem, with a hidden garden, was named in his memory.
“As in the changing clouds”, he was forced to change the course of his life, only to find that the struggle is not over.
Bonaventura’s legacy and the foundations he set are still here -
“…the whistle is still heard on that little street called Bonaventura…”

lyrics

Lyrics:

As in the changing clouds, the shadows on the wall
Reminds her of a man with a big hat
And he seems to be trying to write something down
She is convinced he has good eyes

And he has no idea why she got off the promenade
And parted from the group
May Yesterday was damp and cheerless
Finds herself standing on a small street

And she saw the ornate circles
Above each window and the background is blue
Wondering if thoughts crushed her luckiness
Eager to be listened to, ready to talk

May yesterday was damp and cheerless
He was willing to help her
And called for a gust of wind to move the leaves
He knew he would fade forever

As in the changing clouds, the shadow moved down
And changed into a dark puddle
It happened at the end of that little street
There is a path to a hidden garden

And she came in and saw the man again
But in a different, in a different hat
A pleasant whistle floods her ears
It was the whistle of luckiness

Now the pavement is dry
And she knows how to choose the pace of her footsteps
Crossing the mass of streets in her head
Crossing the lines

That were not really bad
Moving forward with nice positive thoughts
Spark in her eyes and gray brit overcoat
And his luckiness

The whistle, it’s still heard on that little street called Bonaventura…

(I met my guardian angel, I met my guardian angel....)
