The song was dedicated to the memory of Shlomo Ben Yosef, the first martyr for Jewish independence. "We can not conquer the peak - if there is no grave on the mountain's slopes," became an inspiration for the National movement, and a motto for 'National Army' (Irgun) and Lehi (Israeli freedom fighters).
God bless you, Mr. Ben Yosef.
may your soul find peace for eternity, next to the founding fathers of modern Israel.
