about

Music: Traditional, arranged by The Lost Tribe
Lyrics: 16th-century poet David Onkinerakh, translated by T Carmi (used by permission)

lyrics

1. We shall live in the shade of the graceful doe
and living there shall be sustained.
We shall walk through darkness by her light with never-ending joy.
When she laughs, we will burst into song;
When she frowns, we shall clothe ourselves in fear;
And when she looks with radiant eyes / we shall be redeemed.

Oh, graceful doe

2. As I gazed upon her radiant beauty
all my senses clinging to her
She suddenly rose from the earth
flew above the clouds and disappeared.
And I was left behind in the dark
like a man whose eyes glow
when lightning flashes in the night and then the glow is gone.

3. The softest strands of your hair
can pull a mountain out by its roots.
What then can a poor man do
when they fall upon him in waves?
I pray you, graceful deer
have pity on my life,
from dawn to dusk I await your favor
don’t make me die so young.
