שני שושנים

אָשִׁיר לָךְ שִׁיר עַתִּיק, נוֹשָׁן,
אָשִׁיר לָךְ זֶמֶר עַל שׁוֹשָׁן,
הָיֹה הָיוּ לִפְנֵי שָׁנִים
שְׁנֵי שׁוֹשַׁנִּים, שְׁנֵי שׁוֹשַׁנִּים.
הָיָה זֶה כְּבָר, רָחוֹק הַיּוֹם,
אֶחָד לָבָן, שֵׁנִי אָדֹם.

בְּנֵי-גַּן-אֶחָד, כִּשְׁנֵי אַחִים,
צִמְּחוּ עָלֶה, צִמְּחוּ חוֹחִים,
עֵת בָּא הַבֹּקֶר צְחוֹר גָּוָן
פָּקַח עֵינַיִם הַלָּבָן.
וְעֶרֶב בָּא וְרַד הַיּוֹם
עָצַם עֵינַיִם הָאָדֹם.

וּבַלֵּילוֹת וּבַלֵּילוֹת
נָשְׁבוּ רוּחוֹת בָּם קַלִּילוֹת.
כֹּה לִבְלְבוּ עַד בָּאָה יָד,
יָד שֶׁקָּטְפָה שׁוֹשָׁן אֶחָד,
וְאֵין יוֹדֵעַ עַד הַיּוֹם –
אֶת הַלָּבָן אוֹ הָאָדֹם.

וְרַק יוֹדְעִים כִּי הַנּוֹתָר
לִבּוֹ נִשְׁבַּר, לִבּוֹ נִשְׁבַּר,
הָיֹה הָיוּ לִפְנֵי שָׁנִים
שְׁנֵי שׁוֹשַׁנִּים, שְׁנֵי שׁוֹשַׁנִּים.
הָיָה זֶה כְּבָר, רָחוֹק הַיּוֹם,
אֶחָד לָבָן, שֵׁנִי אָדֹם.

Two Roses

I will sing you an ancient song,
I will sing you a song about a rose,
Once upon a time, many years ago,
There were two roses, two roses.
It was a long time ago, the day is far,
One was white, the other was red.

In the same garden, like two brothers,
They grew leaves, they grew thorns,
When the morning came, white-colored,
The white one opened its eyes.
And evening came and the day went down,
The red one closed its eyes.

And in the nights and in the nights
Soft winds blew in them.
Thus they blossomed until a hand came,
A hand that plucked one rose,
And no one knows to this day –
The white one or the red one.

And only know that the one that remained
Its heart was broken, its heart was broken,
Once upon a time, many years ago,
There were two roses, two roses.
It was a long time ago, the day is far,
One was white, the other was red.
