הַנָּאוָה בַּבָּנוֹת, אָנָּא הָאִירִי פָּנַיִךְ אֵלַי, הָאִירִי פָּנַיִךְ אֵלַי!	Fairest among maidens, oh pray! let thine eyes shine upon me let thine eyes shine upon me
בּוֹא דּוֹדִי כִּי יָפִיתָ אַף נָעַמְתָּ עַד מְאוֹד. שְׁלַח יָדְךָ וְחַבְּקֵנִי, אַמְּצֵנִי עוֹד וָעוֹד.	Come, my beloved, for thou art handsome And infinitely gentle. Stretch out thine arms to embrace me And hug me again and again.

The song “Hana’avah Babanot” by Avitai Ne’eman was first published with English translation (also by Ne’eman) in Folk Songs of Israel (Elektra 1955) sung by Theodore Bikel.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
