עץ הרימון [Etz harimon] [English translation]

The pomegranate tree gave out it's scent

From the Dead Sea to Jericho

Returned, my barrier, your regiment from wandering

Returned, my innocent one, your lover has come

The treasures of Ofir and tsri of Gil'ad 1

I have stopped the armies of Egypt for you, girl 2

A thousand songs I shall make you a shield

From the Nile and to the Jordan river

You are the most beautiful of brides

You are the most magnificent of them all

Both your eyes, are like two doves

And your voice is soft like a bell

For you the trumpets' blasts, for you the bouquets 3

For you all the signs of the heroes

What are thousands of soldiers to me?

When my heart is dying of love

Returned to the bow, returned the arrow

The pomegranate to the top of the tree

To you and for you success is expected

Come bride, for the night has fallen

1. Ofir = A land from which gold etc. was brought to Israel by workers of king Salomon; tsri = a resin from which a long time ago people used to make medicine which calmed the heart and soul - wikipedia 2. Or maybe, The Egyptian carriages are your trophies 3. תרועה = teruah (series of tremulous notes of the shofar), I suppose she is speaking of this, because of the nature of the song
