The Wife of Dunash Will Her Love Remember אשתו של דונש הֲיִזְכּוֹר יַעֲלַת הַחֵן

הֲיִזְכּוֹר יַעֲלַת הַחֵן יְדִידָהּ בְּיוֹם פֵּירוּד וּבִזְרוֹעָהּ יְחִידָהּ
וְשָׂם חוֹתַם יְמִינוֹ עַל שְׂמֹאלָהּ וּבִזְרוֹעוֹ הֲלֹא שָׂמָה צְמִידָהּ
בְּיוֹם לָקְחָה לְזִכָּרוֹן רְדִידוֹ וְהוּא לָקַח לְזִכָּרוֹן רְדִידָהּ
הֲיִשָּׁאֵר בְּכָל אֶרֶץ סְפָרַד וְלוּ לָקַח חֲצִי מַלְכוּת נְגִידָהּ

Will the husband remember his beautiful wife?
On the day of exile, her Bab on her arm,
he placed his wedding ring on her left hand.
And didn´t she clasp her bracelet upon his forearm?
On that day she took his coat, a memento, and he took her fan.
What will remain of the country, when he takes its culture with him?

Larinda was a dancer with Ted Mack and the Taborettes
