Lyrics
Here, in the earth that fashioned EveEve, according to the book of Genesis, is Adam's wife, the first woman to be created.
Here they planted for me
Here, where understanding grew,
I’m planting for you
Up here an olive branch was seen
Here they planted for me
Under skies where colors flew,
I’m planting for you
Ki heikhi d’shatlei li avahatai – shatlei nami liv’ra’i כי היכי דשתלי לי אבהתי – שתלי נמי לבראי
From here, a voice burned in the leaves
Here they planted for me
A call to lead our people through,
I’m planting for you
Right here, Deborah came to teach
Here they planted for me
Beneath her tree we sought the truth,
I’m planting for you
Ki heikhi d’shatlei li avahatai – shatlei nami liv’ra’i כי היכי דשתלי לי אבהתי – שתלי נמי לבראי
Shir hama’a lot – שיר המעלות
Someone dreamed the world for me B’shuv Adoshem – ‘בשוב ה
Now I am dreaming it for you Et shivat tzion – את שיבת ציון
Take the world, and dream anew Hayinu k’kholmim, k’kholmim – היינו כחולמים
Ki heikhi d’shatlei li avahatai – shatlei nami liv’ra’i כי היכי דשתלי לי אבהתי – שתלי נמי לבראי
