***
I hope you enjoy this harp cover of "Erev Shel Shoshanim," otherwise known as "Evening of Roses." The version has been arranged by Sunita Staneslow. The lyrics are below!
This song works wonderfully as a Wedding Processional! As you can see from my "dancing in the seat" while I played, I am completely enamored of this sweet love song.
This recording was made playing a Salvi Iris Gold Harp.
I claim no rights to the ownership of the song, but please don't use/duplicate this recording without my permission and credit for the performance.

English translation:
Evening of Lilies:
Let us go out to the grove
Myrrh, Spices, and Frankincense
Is the carpet under your feet
Night falls slowly
And a wind of rose blows
Let me whisper a song for you slowly
A song of love
Dawn and the dove coos
Your hair is full of dewdrops
Your lips are as roses unto the morning
I will pick them for myself
English transliteration:
Erev shel shoshanim
Netzeh na el habustan
Mor besamim ulevona
Leraglech miftan
Layla yored le'at
Veru'ach shoshan noshvah
Havah elchash lach shir balat
Zemer shel ahava
Shachar homa yonah
Roshech maleh telalim
Pich el haboker shoshana
Ektefenu li

So sensitively and evocatively performed...This ancient song sounds glorious on the harp, an instrument upon which it might have been played thousands of years ago

Originally a very famous Israeli-Hebrew song from 1957 (Melody by Yosef Hadar). Beautiful.
The translation (Lyric by Moshe Dor):
Evening of roses
Let's go out to the grove
Myrrh, spices, and incense
Are a carpet to walk on.
The night comes slowly
A breeze of roses blows
Let me whisper a song to you quietly
A song of love.
At dawn, a dove is cooing
Your hair is filled with dew
Your lips to the morning are like a rose
I'll pick it for myself.

I have always played this differently but this is so much more beautiful.

Oh my gosh - someone else who knows this song! I know -- isn't it just a decadent romantic song?
