ZEMER SHALOSH HATSHUVOT
Hu amar im tilchi acharai
lo ktifa tilbeshi ve lo meshi
Yihyeh mar ad bli koa'ch ulai"
az amra hi: "Le'at, ko'ach yesh li"
Im tzarich et halech baschavot
k'loveshet ktifa mavrika
Im tzarich ekratzef mirtsafot
ve'ehyeh be'einai ke malka
Kol asher tevakesh ve tish'al
a'aseh ve osif lismo'ach
Yihyeh tov, Ahuvi, yihyeh kal,
le'olam lo yichsar li koach
Az amar "Ma yihyeh im evgod
ve otakh e'ezov meyuteret
Beleilot arukim mechakot
ad shuvi mi zro'ot ha'acheret?"
"Im tzarich le chakot, achakeh,"
kach amra ufaneha ba'or
"Im tzarich livkot lo evkeh
ha ikar sheh eda ki tachzor
Kol asher tevakesh ve tish'al
a'aseh ve osif lismo'ach
Ki et zot ahuvi yihyeh kal
le'olam lo yichsar li koach
Az amar: "Ma yihyeh im agid
ki elayich lakum velachechet
ve lisho'ach oti veshenit
lo lachzor ki larchov at moshlechet?"
Hi rak rega shatka vatchayech
az dibra u faneha kichfor
"Im tomar li lalechet, elech
im tomar lo tachzor, lo echzor
Ach davar rak echad al tish'al
al tomar li otcha lishko'ach
Ki et zot ahuvi lo uchal
bishvil zeh lo yihyeh li ko'ach

SONG OF THE THREE ANSWERS
He said if you follow me
you won't wear velvet, nor silk,
it will be bitter until I'm out of strength
she said: "slowly, I have strength"
If need be I will walk around in rags
as though wearing smooth velvet
if need be I will rise on platforms
and in my eyes I'll be a queen.
All that you will request and ask,
I will do and add to rejoice
it will be good, my love, it will be easy
I will never lose my strength
so I said "what will be if I will betray you"
and I leave you constantly
in the long nights of waiting
until you return from arms of another?
"if need be to wait, I'll wait"
thus she said, her face in the light
"if need be to cry, I won't cry"
the main thing is I will know you'll return
All that you will request and ask,
I will do and add to rejoice
It will be good, my love, it will be easy
I will never lose my strength
so I said: "what will be if I'll say
to you to get up and go
and to forget me again
not to return as you go to the street?"
For only a moment she was silent,
smiling, as she spoke her was like frost
"if you will tell me to go, i will go
Iif you tell me not to return, I won't return"
but don't ask one thing
don't say to forget you
for this, my love, I cannot do
for this I will not have strength.
