Belafonte, Harry - Erev Shel Shoshanim Lyrics






Erev shel shoshanim
Nitzeh na el habustan
Mor besamim ulevona
Leraglech miftan.

Layla yored le'at
Veru'ach shoshan noshvah
Havah elchash lach shir balat
Zemer shel ahava

Shachar homa yonah
Roshech maleh t'lalim
Pich el haboker shoshana
Ektefenu li.

[English translation:]

Evening of Roses
Let us go out to the grove
Myrrh, Spices, and Frankincense
Is the carpet under your feet

Night falls slowly
And a wind of rose blows
Let me whisper a song for you slowly
A song of love

Dawn and the dove coos
Your hair is full of dewdrops
Your lips are as roses unto the morning
I will pick them for myself

[Hebrew:]

ערב של שושנים
נצא נא אל הבוסתן
מור בשמים ולבונה
.לרגלך מפתן

לילה יורד לאט
ורוח שושן נושבה
הבה אלחש לך שיר בלאט
.זמר של אהבה

שחר הומה יונה
ראשך מלא טללים
פיך אל הבוקר, שושנה
.אקטפנו לי

    ערב של שושנים                           
    מילים: משה דור
    לחן: יוסף הדר                         

    ערב של שושנים
    נצא נא אל הבוסתן
    מור בשמים ולבונה
    לרגלך מפתן.

    לילה יורד לאט
    ורוח שושן נושבה
    הבה אלחש לך שיר בלאט
    זמר של אהבה.

    שחר הומה יונה
    ראשך מלא טללים
    פיך אל הבוקר, שושנה.
    אקטפנו לי...

    "...Ночь надевает свой
    Лиловый фрак-покров.
    Выйди, любимая, в сад со мной,
    Выйди, моя любовь.
    Здесь нам вдвоём с тобой
    Петь будут соловьи.
    Я прошепчу тебе одной
    Нежную песнь любви.
    Нежно воркует нам
    Голубка поутру.
    Губы твои как роза в росе,
    Что я для себя сорву..."

    It is an evening of lilies
    Let us go out to the garden
    Myrrh, Spices, and Frankincense
    Are as a carpet under your feet

    Night falls slowly
    And a wind of lilies blows
    Let me whisper a song for you
    A song of pure love

    Dawn and the dove coos
    Your hair is full of dewdrops
    Your lips are as roses unto the morning
    I will pick them for myself

    Very nice! Was Harry Belafonte partly Jewish or just a Christian who loved the Jewish people and the land of Israel?? We keep supporting you and you will see your Messiah who appears to be the same... Jesus!!

    N.... ....

    Christians have persecuted us for 2000 years in the name of Jesus

    N.... ....

    Well, that makes him Jewish, Skippy.  Idiot.

    N.... ....

    Mboni BF / Sheldon F, I don't think imiss toronto is an idiot. According to the Orthodox and Conservative Halacha, a person is a Jew if their mother is Jewish or they underwent a proper conversion according to the Halacha. On that basis, Harry Belafonte might be part Jewish, but not a Jew. Reformed are different, they recognize the children of either Jewish father or mother as Jews as long as they're also raised Jewish.

    I don't know about his second wife Julia Robinson's ancestry, if she is a proper Jew, then at least two of Harry's children are Jews.

    N.... ....

    דני גלי Jesus and Christians have not persecuted any Jews, only blasphemers and hypocrites who claim themselves to be Christians. Jesus (Yeshua) was a Jew. The disciples were Jews, the writers of the Christian Bible (Habrit Hachadasha) were all Jews, even Apostle Paul claimed he was the strictest of Jews, the converts of about three thousand people on the day of Shavuot were Jews from many nations. In fact, the term New Testament (Habrit Hachadasha) was taken straight out from Yermiyahu 31. Yeshua is the Moshiach, the Zeroa' Adonai of Yeshayahu 53. I'm sorry that the Jewish people had been the target of pogroms, but facts still remain facts, and no amount of Rabbis can cover up all facts.

    N.... ....

    @Mboni BFAccording to the Jewish religion he is not a Jew because his mother is not Jewish.

    No one else will ever equal his rendition of this song.

  25. K.... D....

    Me too! I still have the album.

  26. C.... C....

    I walked down the aisle to this song, played by flute and harp. Priceless.

  27. D.... T....

    Search on Wikipedia(dot)com for Belafonte Streets I have walked.

  28. s.... ....

    Geez that's good. Haunting, like a lot of great Hanukkah music.

  33. R.... H....

    @kitiowa Diese Platte von Harry Belafonte hatte ich auch, aber leider voreilig verschenkt, als ich mir einen CD-Spieler zulegte und wir umgezogen sind. Es gibt ja Leute, die für € 10,00 aus dieser Vinylplatte eine CD machen. Jetzt habe ich mir erst einmal wieder diesen Titel auf "facebook" geladen. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland, Kressbronn am Bodensee.

  34. k.... ....

    My favourite Belefonte Album. I have my father to thank in my childhood.

  35. k.... ....

    @1510Ronald Ich Auch. Vielen Danken.

  36. s.... ....

    I love this song as well :D Harry belafonte does a beautiful job. my mom used to sing this to me as a lullabye, in fact, i didn't even realize it was a love song till I was a teenager!
    you should also look up israel gurion and mel rosenberg doing this song. their harmony is to die for.

  37. D.... T....

    I too heard it a lot when we were kids... was very hard to find it on CD

  38. R.... H....

    Danke für die Einstellung. Ich habe lange danach gesucht.
