Etz Ha-Rimon -

Yaakov Orland & Yedidya Admon


Hebrew Text
Etz ha-rimon natan reycho
Beyn yam ha-melach lyricho
Shav chomati, gdudech mindod
Shav tamati, dodech mi-dod
Otzrot ofir u-tzri gilad
Rechev mitzrayim shalalti lach bat
Elef ha-zemer etleh lach magen
Min ha-yor ad ha-yarden
At klula mikol kalot
At dgula ka-nidgalot
Shtayim eynayich ki-shtey yonim
V-kol kolech paamonim
Lach ha-truot, lach ha-zarim
Lach kol shiltey ha-giborim
Ma li cheyl elef u-ma rvava
Lvavi met meh-ahava

English Translation
The pomegranate tree has given its fragrance
From the Dead Sea to Jericho,
My fortress, your troop is back from its wanderings,
My perfect one, your lover has returned.
Treasures of Ofir and fragrance of Gilead,
Chariots of Egypt I sent to you, my girl
A thousand songs I will hang for you as a shield
From the Nile to the Jordan.
You are more perfect than all the brides,
You are marvelous as the stars in their courses.
Your two eyes are like two doves
And your voice is like the sounds of bells.
For you the trumpeting, for you the wreaths,
For you the medals of the heroes,
What use to me is an army of a thousand, or ten thousand?
My heart is dying of love.
The arrow returned to the bow,
The pomegranate returned to the tree,
To you and for you the warrior longs,
Come my beloved, for evening falls.
