In a grove of palms
Love caught me unaware
Leaning on a fountain
Boom, boom, burn
Burn, how my heart smoldered
Long, long ago, in a grove of palms.
Drawing from a well
The smooth movement of limbs
And a look from your eye that told me
All I needed to know
In a grove of cypress, how my heart trembled!
In a land of Love
Girls in a dance
A thousand maidens, fairer than the hills of Haifa,
And the only one among them who could move me was you, my love, the only one who could move me
In a land of palms, long ago...
How I thought of you, for length of days
Of the cypress, your eyes, and the sweet incense of love!
