בבציר | Ba-batsir | Harvest-Time (1912)

Artist: Abraham Zvi Idelsohn (1882-1938)

Lyrics: From Ha-Zamir

Tune: Foreign Melody

The text of this song was published in Ha-Zamir (Odessa, 1903: p. 9). A different melody was published in Ta'ame Zimra le Shire Ha-Zamir (Warsaw, 1904: p. 35).

In “Ba-batsir”, a child who observes the changes that take place during harvest time is reassured that “when spring comes, the dry flowers will resurrect, the singers will return, and songs will be again sung”.

The melody, whose source is unidentified, is in a major key.
