Victoria Hanna - Ani Yeshena (I SLEEP) | ויקטוריה חנה - אֲנִי יְשֵׁנָה

Thanks to King Solomon, from Song of Songs, Shir Hashirim, for Victoria’s beautiful lyrics: Chapter 5:2 I sleep, but my heart awakes. Hark, my Beloved is knocking, saying; Open to me, my sister, my beloved, my dove, my undefiled, for my head is filled with the dew and my locks with the drops of the night. I have taken off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I soil them? My Beloved put in His hand, by the latch of the door, and my heart thrilled for Him. I rose up to open to my Beloved; and my hands were dripping with myrrh and my fingers with flowing myrrh upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my Beloved, but He had turned away and was gone. My soul failed when He spoke. I sought Him, but could not find Him. I called Him, but He gave no answer. The watchmen of the city found me and struck me. They took my veil from me. O, I adjure you, o daughters ofJerusalem, If you find my Beloved, tell Him that I am sick with Love.
