lyrics

Flame

who can give you to me as a brother, nursed upon the breasts of my mother?
If I should find you outside, I would kiss you I would not be despised;
I would lead you I would bring you into the house of my mother who instructed me,
I would cause you to drink of spiced wine from the juice of my pomegranate;
his left hand is under my head and his right hand embraces me;
I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, do not stir and do not awaken the love until he desires;
who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved, under the apple tree
I awakened you, there your mother, she brought you forth,
there she brought you forth, the one you gave you birth;
set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm, for strong as death, love,
cruel as sheol, jealousy, flaming coals of fire, flame of God (shal’hevetja);
many waters cannot quench this love and the floods not overflow,
if a man gives all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly despised;
