lyrics

Gilead

you are so beautiful, my love, behold
beautiful your eyes doves from behind your veil,
Saraik kayader haizim shegaleshu mayhar Gilead
(your hair is as a flock of goats, that rest on mount Gilead);
shinayik kayader haquzuvot min harachzar sheculam matimot shacula aiyin bahem
(your teeth are like a flock of sheep that are newly shorn, which came up from the washing, every one with twins, and none barren among them);
as a thread of scarlet your lips and your speech is lovely;
kaypelah harimon raqataik mibaad letzamataik
(as a piece of a pomegranate your cheeks behind your veil);
as the tower of David
your neck is built for an armoury,
a thousand shields hang on it,
all the shields of mighty men;
shnai shadayik cishnai ofarim teomai tzviya haroim bashoshanim
(your breasts are like two young deer that are twins, which feed among the lilies);
until dawn of the day and flee away the shadows,
I will go myself to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of frankincense
you are all beautiful my love
and a stain there is none in you;
