With music of psalms Iíll wake up from wandering,

Words in English 
The love of Hadassah (Israel) is tied to my heart 
and my steps are sunk deep in the exile. 
If I could I would go up and join 
within the gates of Zion which are praised. 
Morning and evening Iíll remember the daughter of Israel. 
My heart and thoughts are shaken with desire. 
With music of psalms Iíll wake up from wandering, 
My love and I will sing for joy.
