When will You come to Your children, Your redeemer
My beloved, have You forgotten
By Rabbi
Yehuda HaLevi, of blessed memory
My beloved, have you forgotten | your resting place between my breasts
And why have you sold me | forever to those who enslave me
Was it not then when I went out to you | and a pursuer pursued me
And your transgression and your right hand | and my face and between my times
And my love was yours | fearing your will for
And how can you apportion praise | of my glory to anyone but me
Rejected, do not stray | and pursued until my destruction
Like you in the captivity of Greece | burdened like the yoke of the Almighty
Is there a redeemer besides you | and imprisoned in the mixture against me
Give strength to me because | to you I shall give my love
Be strong
Shade in it, come my beloved
