Beod hashnia lenashim nishlecha
Meir elei ir al pirdo hu rachav
Assaf nefashot limlucha ulmishkav

PIZMON (2x)
Avshalom Avshalom B'ni Avshalom

Rabot hanashim shehayu ledavid
Ach beit pilagshav meyuchad veyachid

Akvu mabatei hanashim acharav
Lishmor ha'armon hen amru pe echad
Yikach Avshalom et gufeinu bilvad

PIZMON

David had many sons
But his son Absalom was special and unique
Strong as an oak and beyond handsome
And there was no other like him in the whole of Judea.






CHORUS X2
Absalom, Absalom, Absalom my son
