Nitzeh na el habustan
Mor, besamim ulevana
L'raglech miftan.
Laila yored le'at
Veru'ach shoshan noshvak,
Havah elchash lach shir balat
Shachar homa yonah,
Roshech ma'ale t'lalim
Pich el haboker shoshana
Ektefenu li.
Laila yored le'at
Veru'ach shoshan noshvak,
Havah elchash lach shir balat
Zemer shel ahava.

The second verse talks about a dove singing and the flowers opening up as the sunrise approaches. The singer compares her lover's beauty to that of the rose she is holding, implying that she is deeply in love with him. The chorus repeats an invitation for the lover to come closer and listen to the song of love.

As beautiful as this performance is, looking at him singing it puts tears to my eyes knowing of his tragic departure. Almost 48 years later the fact that his fans continue to honor his memory shows how much he has left his legacy.

Que la voix de Mike Brant et de Nana Mouskouri se marient bien. Une plutôt grave et l' autre claire comme de l'eau de source. Tout simplement magnifique.
