The middle of Tammuz
Lyrics and music: Naomi Shemer
It is sad to die in the middle of Tammuz
The flags of summer are flying high
At the top of the flagpole a busy queue and never stopping
Because on your end and on your harvest the hurrah fell
It is sad to die in the middle of Tammuz
Especially when the peaches are abundant
And all the fruit actually laughs in the basket
And on your end and on your harvest the hurrah fell
It is sad to die in the middle of Tammuz
But I shall die in the middle of Tammuz
To the fruit orchards that have become orphaned
Cheer after cheer will fall
And on your end and on your harvest and on everything
