Song of the Grasses

As usual, I can't decide which I like best, so here are two versions. This is not a New Year song, it's just a nice song. I can appreciate grass and shepherds, since we once raised sheep. There is no grass where we live now. We live in an apartment in a city in a very stony country. Will I ever find anything as nice as grass in this hard country?

The first, tenor voice, Hezy Levy, slow, with good guitar accompaniment.

The second, deeper voice, with piano and other instruments, nice grass pictures.

"The Song of the Grasses" by Naomi Shemer

Know that each and every shepherd has his own tune.
Know that each and every grass has its own song.
And from the song of the grasses the tune of the shepherd is made.


How beautiful, how beautiful and pleasant to hear their song.
It's very good to pray among them and to serve Hashem in joy
And from the song of the grasses the heart is filled and yearns.

And when the the heart is filled by the song and yearns for the Land of Israel
A great light is drawn forth and goes from the Land's holiness unto it.
And from the song of the grasses the tune of the heart is made.
