Giving you my life and love

promised you my heart

2. How can I forget

that you do need me?

Even though you leave me

I shall woo your heart

O Israel, why have you gone

so far in search of love?

Can’t you feel the coolness

of my shadow?

water when you are thirsting?

rain when you are dry?

O Israel,

how can I keep you

and make you mine?

I will heal the wounds

inflicted on you

Comfort I will bring to you

tender is My heart

3. I shall call

until My heart will find you

Lead you to my wilderness

speaking to your heat

I shall give you back

your fruit and vineyard

I shall give you hope and love

as when you were mine

Will you be free?

Will you return to me

and be my bride?

I shall make you mine,

My love forever

Give me back your faithful love

Give me back your heart

Israel,

will you return to me and be my

bride?
