My beloved is like a desert land
lo mitmaseret kal im bichlal
She doesn't surrender easily, if at all
lahatzagot sheli hi lo kahal
She is no audience for my performances
afilu sherotze oti kevar
Even though she already wants me
doche kol ginunim shel mechazer
She rejects every suitor's gesture
davka az ani ohev otah yoter
That's precisely when I love her more
ahuvati hi kemo eretz midbar
My beloved is like a desert land
yesh bah nikayon bohek vetzach
She has a gleaming, crisp cleanliness
sheim ani meat meluchlach
That if I am even slightly soiled
afilu sherotze oti kevar
Even though she already wants me
lo titen lehitkarev, lo teater
She won't let me near, she won't yield
davka az ani ohev otah yoter
That's precisely when I love her more
davka az ani ohev otah yoter
That's precisely when I love her more
hi lo ohevet kesheani medaber
She doesn't like when I speak
hi omeret sheani meshaker
She says that I'm lying
afilu bishtika
Even in silence

As if not worth
afilu yerika
Even a spit

She certainly doesn't forget
vaadayin lo solachat
And still hasn't forgiven
beyamim arukim arukim
Through the long, long days
kevar mizeman hoyta ozevet
She would have left long ago
ilmale hoyta choshevet
Had she not been thinking

That she'd find sweet water in me

My beloved is like a desert land
dokeret katzor tzorevet keakrav
She stings like a flint, burns like a scorpion
choderet leetzem kerucha kadim kara
Pierces to the bone like a cold east wind
afilu sherotze oti kevar
Even though she already wants me

She dries me out to see if I will stay
