Dodi li va'ani lo

Haro'eh bashoshanim  

Mi zot ola min hamidbar

Mi zot ola

M'kuteret mor, mor ulevona

Mor ulevona

Dodi li va'ani lo

Haro'eh bashoshanim

Libavtini achoti kala

Libavtini kala

Dodi li va'ani lo

Haro'eh bashoshanim

Uri tzafon uvo'i teiman (2x)

Dodi li va'ani lo

Haro'eh bashoshanim

My beloved is mine and I am his,

The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.

Who is this, rising up from the desert

Who is she, rising up?

Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense

Myrrh and frankincense.

My beloved is mine and I am his,

The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.

You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride.

You have captured my heart, my bride.

My beloved is mine and I am his,

The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies..

Awaken, north wind, and come, south wind.  

My beloved is mine and I am his,

The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.
