lyrics

English Translation Below

מישגבי

אהבתי אותך ביקשתי
השקיני במי רחמיך

הרוויני אדמתך אני
ובי יפרחו יבוליך

גלי אותי גל בנהר
גשם שנולד מדמעותייך


אותך אהבתי ביקשתי
קבליני כאור אהובך

אפקיד חיי בידייך
תנחני בשביל חכמתך

האמון בשורשייך
נפלאות מעשי בריאתך


אהבתי אותך ביקשתי
השכיני בלב משכנך

מעיין הנובע
ממעמקי הוויתך

שירת ניחוח היסמין
כתר השזור לשערך


אל האופל איישיר מבטי
אלך ואחקור רחוק

את האור השוכן בעדי
הפוער את הסדק עמוק

לתהום הפקודה בתוכי
בה אניח רגלי עדי עד

ואתן לשורשי האויר בליבי
למצוא משגבי
באחד


Misgavi - My refuge

My love, it is you that I was seeking,
Revive me with your compassionate water

Quench my thirst, dry land,
Let me be the soil in which your crops will blossom

Discover me, a wave in a river,
Rain that is born of your tears

My Love it is you I am requesting
Receive me as the light of your beloved

I’m depositing my life in your hands
Your wisdom is guiding my path

I trust in your roots,
In the wonders of your creation

My love, it is you that I am seeking,
I want too reside in the heart of your temple

A fountain spring flowing,
from the depth of your existence

The poem of the Jasmine scent,
Is a crown that is braided within your hair

I will look into the darkness and not waiver,
I will go and investigate even farther:
The light dwelling within me
That which can widen the crack
The abyss which is deposited in me
Where I rest my feet forever

Letting the air roots of my heart,
find my refuge
In the One
