(IM ESHKACHECH)

(IF I FORGET YOU)

Tziyon tamati,

Tziyon chemdati,
Lach nafshi merachok homiya.

Tishkach yemini
Im eshkachech, yafati.
Ad te'etar bor kivri alai piha.

Zion, my innocent one,

Zion, my beloved,
My soul longs for you from afar.

May my right hand forget its skill
If I forget you, my beautiful one.
Until the day my grave closes over me.
