Hinech Yafa
Hinach Yafa
Bemitati kvar Shavuot
Bikashti et sheahava nafshi
Velo metzaativ
Chipasti bein kol rechovot hair
Hameleat shkarim hazot
Velo metzaativ
Matzeuni hashomrim
Hasovevim bair
ach ahuvi, od lo matzati oto
Ach lo arpe mimeno
Ad sheavio el toch iri
El beit imi ve el chadri
el mitati
Hinech yafa raayati
vesiftotaich chut shani
Shinaich levanot
keor halevana
Mi zot ola min hamidbar
meeretz rechoka
Niset al knaf tzipor gdola
hegia el beiti
La la la la la la…
Hinach yafa raayati
ani nitraf bishtei enaich
Asher sorfot oti
keesh halehava
Mi zot ola min hamidbar
meeretz rechoka
Niset al knaf tzipor gdola
hegia el beiti
You Are Beautiful
In my bed it has been weeks
I sought the one my soul loves
But I couldn’t find him
I searched in all the streets of this
City full of lies
But I couldn’t find him
The guards who surround the city
Found me
But my love, I couldn’t find him
I will not let him go
I will bring him to my city
To my mother's house, to my room,
To my bed
You are so beautiful my wife
and your lips are a scarlet string
With teeth as white
as the light of the moon
She is coming up from the desert
From a faraway land
Carried by a big bird
Coming to my home
La la la la la..
You are so beautiful, my wife
I am captivated by your eyes
Which are burning me
Like roaring flames
She is coming up from the desert
From a faraway land
Carried by a big bird
Coming to my home
