Revealed: The Biblical Verse in Israel’s Eurovision Song

The verse from Song of Songs featured in the song written by Keren Peles for Yuval Raphael in Eurovision 2025 – “Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers sweep it away” – is considered one of the most famous expressions of love in Hebrew.

This passage, taken from Song of Songs 8:7, is expected to be sung in Hebrew by Yuval Raphael during the performance.

Keren Peles, who wrote both the lyrics and music for the song, incorporated the verse into the composition, the title of which has yet to be revealed. If no unexpected changes occur, this piece will represent Israel on the Eurovision stage, set to take place in Switzerland in May.

The song, produced by Tomer Biran, was unanimously chosen by the professional selection committee from a total of 54 submissions. This marks the second consecutive year that Keren Peles will have a song performed at Eurovision, following her contribution to last year’s entry, “Hurricane.”

Unless any unforeseen issues arise, as happened last year, the European Broadcasting Union is expected to approve the song in the coming days. The official release in Israel is scheduled for March 9 on Kan, the national broadcaster.
