Erev Shel Shoshanim

Evening of rosesErev shel shoshanim
We have plucked in the gardenNeytsena habustan
Myrrh, spices, and frankincenseMor besamim ulevona
To your feet we have broughtLe raglech meftan

A young dove in the morning lightShachar homa yona
Your head is crowned with raysRoshech maley t'lalim
Come to the garden, my lovePich el haboker shoshana
I will pick for youEktefey nu li

Night slowly fallsLaila yored le'at
And the scent of roses is in the airVeruach shoshan noshva
Come to me, I will sing you a songHava elclash lach shir balat
A song of loveZemer shel ahava
