Lyrics:

We'll return with you unto your land,
return unto your land.
Go back, go back, my daughters,
I fear the wrath of God's hand.

Shov na', shov na', bnotai,
yatza' bi yad Hashem.

Ruth then said to Naomi
"Keep me not from your side.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
Your land and God shall be mine.
I will go, I will go, I will sleep with you.
'Elech, 'elech ve'alin. And I will sleep."

A stranger is only as strange
as the distance we keep from our hearts.
It's not ours to complete the task,
it's only ours to start.

"Do not keep me from your side,
I'll follow you.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
I'll sleep with you.
I will go, I will go, I will sleep with you.
'Elech, 'elech ve'alin. And I will sleep. Ve'alin."
