Five Hebrew Love Songs
1. Temuná: A picture is engraved in my heart; moving between light and darkness: A sort of silence envelopes your body, And your hair falls upon your face just so.
2. Kalá kallá: Light bride, she is all mine, And lightly she will kiss me!
3. Laróv: “Mostly,” said the roof to the sky, “The distance between you and I is endlessness; But a while ago two came up here, And only one centimeter was left between us.”
4. Éyze shéleg!: What snow! Like little dreams falling from the sky.
5. Rakút: He was full of tenderness; She was very hard. And as much as she tried to stay thus, Simply, and with no good reason, He took her into himself, And set her down in the softest, softest place.
-Hila Plitmann, 1996
