Bamitati kvar shavuot bikashti
et she'ahavah nafshi velo matsativ.
Chipasti bav kol rechovot hair ha'amusah
Shkarim hazot velo matsativ.

Matsuni hashomrim hasovevim bair
Ach ahuvi kimat velo matsati oto
Ach lo erpe mimenu ad she avi'o el toch iri.
el beit imi ve'el chadri, el mitati.

Hinech yafah raiti
vesiftotaich chut sheni.
Shinayich levanot kmo or halevanah
mi zot olah min hamidbar me'eretz rechokah
niset al knaf tsipor gdolah?
higiya leveiti.

Hinech yafah raiti
ani nignav mishtei einaich shesorfot oti
ke'esh halehavah.
mi zot olah min hamidbar me'eretz rechokah
niset al knaf tsipor gdolah?
higiya leveiti.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

In my bed I sought for weeks
whom my soul loves and found it not.
I searched for it in all the town's streets
This [bad word] and found not.

The guardians that go about the city found me:
but my love and I found it not.
But I will not leave it until I will bring it into my city.
To my mother's house, to my room, to my bed.

Behold, thou art fair, my love;
thy lips are like a thread of scarlet.
Thy teeth are white like the light of the moon.
Who is [bad word] up from the desert from a far land
travelling upon the wing of a large bird?
arriving to my house.

Behold, thou art fair, my love
I'm stolen from your who eyes that consume me
like the fires of the flame.
Who is [bad word] up from the desert from a far land
travelling upon the wing of a large bird?
arriving to my house.
