Mich Sampson: Listen

Erev Shel Shoshanim (extract)

(Mich Sampson)
August 7, 2010
Music: Yosef Hadar. Text: Moshe Dor
Erev shel shoshanim neitzei na el habustan,
Mor v'samin ul'vonah l'ragleich miftan.
Lailah yoreid l'at v'ruach shoshan noshvah,
Havah elchash lach shir balat, zemer shel ahavah.

It is an evening of roses. Let us go out to the grove.
Myrrh, spices and incense are a carpet for you to tread.
The night comes upon us slowly, and a breeze of roses is blowing.
Let me whisper a song to you quietly, a song of love.
