Melody by Linda Hirschhorn © 1992
Lyrics from the text recited when exchanging rings combined with text from Shir HaShirim, the "Song Of Songs"
Arranged by Linda Hirschhorn and Fran Avni
High Lead Voice: Jennifer Karno
A contemporary Hebrew folk song blended with an African-American folk song.
הרי את מקדשת לי
Haréh ’at mequdèshèt li.
Haréh ’at.
[Behold, you are made holy to me.]
השמיעני את קולך
כי קולך ערב
ומראיך נאוה
Hashmi‘ini ’èt qoléch,
ki qoléch ‘àrév
umar’éch nà’vèh.
Hashmi‘ini.
[Let me hear your voice
because it is so pleasing
and your looks are so lovely.]
Linda often sings this Haréh ’At song as part of the ring exchange ritual in her wedding celebrations.
