Evening of roses
Let's go out to the grove
Myrrh, perfumes, and incense
Are a threshold at your feet. .
The night falls slowly
A breeze of roses blows
Let me whisper a song to you quietly
A song of love. .
At dawn, a dove is cooing
Your hair is filled with dew . ,
Your lips to the morning are like a rose ...
I'll pick it for myself.
Praise God in His sanctuary; praise . ,
Him in the firmament of His power. . ,
Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise . ,
Him according to His abundant . ,
greatness. . , -
Praise Him with the blast of the horn; .
praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise Him with the timbrel and
dance; praise Him with stringed
instruments and the pipe.
Praise Him with the loud-sounding
cymbals; praise Him with the clanging
cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise
the LORD. Hallelujah.
Peace unto you, O ministering angels,
angels of the Most High, from the
King, King of Kings, the Holy Blessed
One.
Peace unto you
May your coming be in peace, O
angels of peace, angels of the Most
High, from the King, King of Kings,
the Holy Blessed One.
Peace unto you
Bless me for peace, O angels of peace,
angels of the Most High, from the
King, King of Kings, the Holy Blessed
One.
Peace unto you
May your return be for peace, O
angels of peace, angels of the Most

Cowboy Lied
Oi gib mir ah heym vu die
bufloksen geyn
Vu die hirshelach shpielen oifs
land;
Keynmol hert men dort ah
fartumelten vort
Un der himel is bloi nochanand
High, from the King, King of Kings,
the Holy Blessed One.
Peace unto you
The mountain air is clear as water
The scent of pines around
Is carried on the breeze of twilight,
And tinkling bells resound. .
The trees and stones there softly
slumber,
A dream enfolds them all.
So solitary lies the city,
And at its heart -- a wall.
Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.
How are the water wells dried up,
The market square empty,
No one visits the Temple Mount within
the Ancient City, .
Within the caverns in the mountains
Winds wail out.
And no one goes to the Dead Sea
By way of Jericho. .
Jerusalem of gold... ...
But as I sing to you, my city,
And you with crowns adorn,
I am the least of all your children,
Of all the poets born. .
Your name will scorch my lips for ever,
Like a seraph's kiss, I'm told,
If I forget thee, golden city,
Jerusalem of gold.
Jerusalem of gold...
...
Oh give me a home where the buffalo
roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging
word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Heym dort is meyn heym
Vu die hertselach shpielen oifs
land;
Keyn mol hert men dort ah
fertumelten vort
Un der himel is bloi nochanand.
Die luft is dort rein un die
vintelach fein
Un sis poshet mechayeh fun Got;
Ich beit keynmol ois, mein land
un mein hois
Far aleh metziehs in shtot.
Vie oftmol beinacht is der himel
mit pracht
Fun die shterner vos glantzen vie

Ich shtey dort entoisht un in kop
meinem roisht
As die velt is mit vunder bezolt.

Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging
word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Where the air is so pure, and the ,
zephyrs so free,
The breezes so balmy and light, . '
That I would not exchange my home on ,
the range, .
For all of the cities so bright. ...
Home
How often at night when the heavens
are bright,
With the light from the glittering stars,
Have I stood there amazed and asked .
as I gazed, ...
If their glory exceeds that of ours.

A land flowing with milk and honey
Even if you were as swarthy as a Tatar
Even if you had eyes like a tomcat
And even if you limped a little
Or had wooden footsies
I say that wouldnt bother me.
And even if you had a foolish grin,
And even if you had no more brains than Vayzasa, '
Even if you were as wild as an Indian
Or even if you were a Galitziyaner
I say it wouldnt bother me.
Tell me, how do you explain this?
Ill soon tell you why. :'
To me you are pretty,

To me youve got it,
To me you are more precious than gold.
