[HANASHIR:12222] Re: Sukkot Song

[ilana axel <iaxel...>]

The Hebrew text is from parashat Ekev, 8:8
(Deuteronomy). 
Eretz chita use'orah 
v'gefen ute'enah v'rimon 
eretz zeyt shemen ud'vash.

I'd love to know the English tune, I've heard only a
Hebrew chant melody of it. Let's share, anyone out
there that can enlighten both of us?
