Marriage
He (Come bride)

Achinoam Nini & Gili Dor

The nearness of the sea and you 
Obliterates all hopes of rest 

Your salty breath has blown from the sea 
To penetrate my home salty

And the waves breaking

Rising with tears

To the heights of my love

Come, my bride

With a red moon over the sea 
Your blood is burning 
With a red moon over the sea 
My blood and your blood 

The waves breaking
Shouting and crying
Your name, your name, your name 
Come, my bride

How can I close my window 
When the storm is near? 
How can I close my window 
When your feet are bare? 
How can I close my window 
When the ocean calls? 
How can I close my window

When you are awake?

And the owl from the heart of the night

You have awakened me from sleep? 
Come, my bride
