Re: Fwd: words in Hebrew & a bit of Yiddish

[Carol Freeman <tsipra...>]

Actually , there's more to El Ginat Egoz. Please pardon my transcription - I
speak no Hebrew, and the words are copied from a booklet in an old recording
(from Guela Gil.)


El ginat egoz yarad'ti
Lir' ot b' ibe hanakhal
Lir' ot hafar' kha hagefen
Henetsu harimonim

L'kha dodi netse' a hassadeh
Nalina bak farim nashkima lakramin
Nir' eh imparkha hagefen
Pitakh has semadar

El ginat egoz yarad'ti
Lir' ot b' ibe hanakhal
Lir' ot hafar' kha hagefen
Henetsu harimonim

Ovri tsafon uvo' i teyman
Hafikhi gani yizlu bessamav
Ya vo kol dodi legano
Veyokhal pri megadav
