Lyrics

The blue Dead Sea is quietly moving, and above a little cloud is floating.
The Tamarisk tree is silently nodding, and every line in the sand is nicely carved.
The soil will yellowed in the hit of sun, and the choking dust is clearly seen.
But Ein Gedi will not wither, she is coloured brown and green

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, how it is that you sprout in the sun fury?
Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, how come in desolation, brooks in you flow?
Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, beauty is you, in its splendour.
And the heart will enjoy you and want you,
and the heart will enjoy you and want you.

The blue Dead Sea will quietly move,
and every mountain will rise proudly above.
The known Arugot stream return its carriage to the sea,
and the soil will yellowed in the heat of sun.
But Ein Gedi, she is an oasis.
A new day is not like the night before,
and a splendid tomorrow is destined

Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, how it is that you sprout in the sun fury?
Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, how come in desolation, brooks in you flow?
Ein Gedi, Ein Gedi, beauty is you in its splendour

And the heart will enjoy you and want you,
and the heart will enjoy you and want you.
