Sapari lyrics

[Hebrew:]

סַפְּרִי תַמָּה תְמִימָה סַפְּרִי נָגִיל בְּתֵימָא

בּת מְלָכִים הַחֲכָמָה אָן מְקוֹמֵךְ סַפְּרִי לִי

עָנְתָה יוֹנָה סְעַדְיָה לִי בְּפַלְטֵרִין עֲלִיָּה

וַאֲנִי תּוֹךְ לֵב אֳנִיָּה בַּיְּפִי עוֹטָה מְעִילִי

[Romanization:]

On makomeh sapari li

On makomeh sapari li

Va'ani toh lev annyo bayofi e'to me'ili

Bayofi e'to me'ili

Sapari nogil batemo

[English:]

Tell me, pure and perfect one

Tell me so that we may rejoice here in Taima

O wise princess, tell me where do you make your home?

(The Dove) Saadiah, there is a high chamber reserved for me in the palace

But though I could robe myself in beauty, my heart is full of lamentation

It soared from the ark, the dove within me

It sings forever, it flies free

I call to thee, my torch in darkness, thou art born

Ornaments of gold shine so bright

You are the way, you are the light

I dwell in this my shelter and thy birth do I foresee
