Maria Bencic releases a unique genre of worship songs with lyrics inspired by the "Song of Songs”. Her latest song 'Le dodi', is a reference to Song of Songs 6:3a.
For centuries, many phrases from King Solomon's Song of Songs have been used at weddings. Maria relates this particular phrase (L'Dodi - or better yet in full: "Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li") to her relationship with Christ.
The tones are produced by a single harp. English and Hebrew, together with Maria's old-time singing style, produce a sound that is reminiscent of ancient music.
Lyrics:
Le dodi
Le dodi
Oh Le dodi
My beloved
My lips on your royal feet
Lean my head at your chest
Le dodi
Your royalness makes me shiver
Yeshua of Nazareth
For you and only you I give myself away
Le dodi
Le dodi
Oh le dodi
My beloved
Knees bow low
Heart fly high
Up to him whom my soul loves
Le dodi
Yeshua Ha Mashiach
For I am my beloveds
and my beloved is mine
Le dodi
Le dodi
Yeshua my beloved
