BASKETS ARE ON OUR SHOULDERS
OUR BASKETS
Laden baskets on our shoulders,
Floral circlets round our heads
From land’s ends we come,
First fruits to bear in .
From Judea and Samaria
From the Emek and Galilee.
Clear a path for us,
First fruits we bear
Beat the drum, blow the flute!
Our fields and gardens
Brought forth their yield,
Our vineyards and our toil -
Their harvests plentiful:
Of figs, apples,
Grapes and almonds.
Clear a path for us,
First fruits we bear
Beat the drum, blow the flute!
How goodly are our dance circles,
How comely our parading columns!
The praise of the land is ours.
First fruits we have borne -
From the Golan, Bashan,
Negev and Jordan Valley!
Clear a path for us,
First fruits we bear
Beat the drum, blow the flute!
