Hey

Medley of Farmers and Lovers
From atop the tower I look around
My eyes drink in the distances
A land at rest in the blood of night
Oh, watchman, what of the night?

A shepherd’s flute sings out
Flocks of sheep glide past
What have I, and who have I now, Canaan?
The waters’ wind hums
Among the stalks of grain
What have I, and who have I now, Canaan?

Evening speaks by the well
Awake, my girl, fill your jug
The sun’s light drips and passes on
Mountain blood whispers secrets to me

Why, my girl, does your jug tremble?
Your eyes are like a well to me
Like a lamb, your hand slipped away
From the flocks of my heart

Evening speaks by the well
Awake, my girl, fill your jug
The sun’s light drips and passes on
Mountain blood whispers secrets to me

Why, my girl, does your jug tremble?
Your eyes are like a well to me
Like a lamb, your hand slipped away
From the flocks of my heart

Somewhere far away among the mountains
A shepherd and a shepherdess among the flocks

She—to him, he—to her
Two eyes—love
She—to him, he—to her
Two eyes—a flame

Somewhere in the thicket among the bushes
A shepherd and a shepherdess converse between them

She—to him, he—to her
Two eyes—love
She—to him, he—to her
Two eyes—a flame

I saw you with the jug pressed to your lips
And I sit alone on my lookout
In your thirst you drank water from it
Oh, how I wish—how I wish—that I were the jug

Oh, how I wish, how I wish
That I too were the jug
Oh, how I wish, how I wish
That I too were the jug

If only I were such a jug in your arms
If only you warmed me with the heat of your thirst
Like a charge I would run to you
Oh, how I wish it were me—me, your jug

Oh, how I wish, how I wish
That I too were the jug

Oh, how I wish, how I wish
That I too were the jug

My day is mine and my night is mine
My morning is mine
My yesterday and my evening are mine

My day is mine and my night is mine
My morning is mine
My yesterday and my evening are mine

Let the day descend toward the sea’s edge
And the night—night has already spread
A cloak of darkness over me

Let the day descend toward the sea’s edge
And the night—night has already spread
A cloak of darkness over me

Until light
Until light
Until light—light me, O sun
Sun, light me

My day is mine and my night is mine
My morning is mine
My yesterday and my evening are mine

My day is mine and my night is mine
My morning is mine
My yesterday and my evening are mine

Let the day descend toward the sea’s edge
And the night—night has already spread
A cloak of darkness over me

Let the day descend toward the sea’s edge
And the night—night has already spread
A cloak of darkness over me

Until light
Until light
Until light—light me, O sun
Sun, light me
Hey
