TEXT
Ëtz harimon natan rëcho
bën yam hamelach ad y'richo
shav chomati g'dudëch mindod
shav tamati dodëch midod
otzrot ofir utzri gilad
rechev mitzrayim shalalti lach bat
elef hazemer etle lach magën
min hay'or ad hayardën
Translation:
The arrow returns to its bow;
the plucked pomegranite pines for the tree;
so does this soldier yearn for his loved one.
Wait for me, dear, for evening descends.
