Ahavat Hadassah

אַהֲבַת הֲדַסָּה עַל לְבָבִי נִקְשְׁרָה
Love of Hadassah has ensnared my heart

וַאְנִי בְּתוֹךְ גּוֹלָה פְּעָמַי צוֹלְלִים
And I am deep in exile, sinking into the abyss

לוּ יֵשׁ רְשׁוּת לִי אֶעֱלֶה אֶתְחַבְּרָה
If only I had permission, I would ascend to unite with her

תּוֹךְ שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן אֲשֶׁר הֵם נֶהְלְלִים
Within the Gates of Zion, which are exalted

שַׁחְרִית וְעַרְבִית בַּת נְדִיבִים אֶזְכְּרָה
Dawn and Dusk, I will recall the Daughter of the Generous

לִבִּי וְרַעְיוֹנַי בְּחֵשֶׁק נִבְהֲלִים
My heart and intuition are stunned

written by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. a Jewish poet who lived in 17th century Yemen.
and is considered the 'Poet of Yemen'.

The song presents the earthly  relations of love and yearning between bride and groom and the covenant  between them as a symbol of their lofty spiritual love, and yearning for God
and the People of Israel.
The song also contains a motif of moderation, self-restraint and abstinence, one of the most common in all Shabazi’s poems.

Form of song - nashid. a form that uses only one metre and one rhyme. Its content is religious rather than secular, the language employed is generally Hebrew.
In the first two stanzas of Ahavat Hadassah, Rabbi Shalom Shabazi makes known his longing for the divine presence in the land of Israel:

The Jews of Yemen
____________________________________
Yemenite Jewish music has been an integral part of Yemenite Jewish culture since time immemorial. The Jews of Yemen have preserved a well-defined singing arrangement which includes the very poetic creation itself also involves a vocal and dance performance, accompanied by drumming on an empty tin-can (tankah) or a copper plate.

The Jews of Yemen, maintaining strict adherence to Talmudic and Maimonidean halakha, observed the gezeirah which prohibited playing musical instruments and "instead of developing the playing of musical instruments, they perfected singing and rhythm.

The Jews of Yemen are one of the most isolated and forgotten communities of the Jewish people. This  vibrant Jewish community lived in Yemen until the mid-20th century, when almost all the inhabitants emigrated from Yemen and settled in Israel. Yemeni Jewish traditions claim that the Jewish settlement goes back to biblical times.

Scholars are fascinated by 'Yemenite-accented' Hebrew, regarding it as a very close to the Hebrew of biblical times; the Yemenite were the only Jewish community to have lived continuously - and insulated - in one country for at least two and half thousand years.

This songs of Yemenite Jews divide into men's songs and women's songs. Men's songs are usually sung in Hebrew and the women's songs always in Arabic

Men's songs come mainly from the Diwan, religious poetry book and mostly written by the renowned Rabbi shalom Shabazi in the Seventeenth century.

This songs collection was started in the eleventh century and has centered Jewish life ever since.

Women's songs in contrast are sung  in every day Yemenite Arabic. Never taught to read or to write, women bared their souls in songs - their single outlet for passion in a rigid, conservative society.
They used flowery, Arabs verse for their hopeless flight into fantasy.
Yemenite girls were commonly forced to start married life as the second or third wife.
The women's songs are aching and sensual and often witty, angry and bitingly sarcastic
