Northern Wind, Southern Wind
Today, today the vine’s blossoms rise
The pomegranate buds among the palm-tree flowers
Today the fig tree sets its first fruit
Just as it was written, just as it was said

A northern wind is good for the wheat
But hard on the olives when they sprout
A southern wind is sometimes harsh
Yet good for the vines when they awaken

Today, today the ear of grain is growing
Barley and wheat kernels are forming
And the final rain falls before the sun
Just like in a homeland lesson at school

A northern wind is good for the wheat
But hard on the olives when they sprout
A southern wind is sometimes harsh
Yet good for the vines when they awaken

Today, today I walk on foot
Along the path that climbs between fields and vineyards
Today I will see the rocky ridge
Just as my ancestors did many days ago

A northern wind is good for the wheat
But hard on the olives when they sprout
A southern wind is sometimes harsh
Yet good for the vines when they awaken

A northern wind is good for the wheat
But hard on the olives when they sprout
A southern wind is sometimes harsh
Yet good for the vines when they awaken

A southern wind is sometimes harsh
Yet good for the vines when they awaken
