lyrics and translation from hebrew songs
Shamor vezachor bedibur echad Guard and remember in a single utterance
Hishmi’anu El hameyuchad We were made to hear by the unifying God*
HaShem echad ush’ma echad God is One and His name is One
Leshem uletif’eret velitehilah For His name for glory and praise
Lechah dodi, likarat kalah Come my lover to welcome the Shabat (referred to as the bride)
Penei shabat nekabelah We will welcome Shabat
Hitoreri, hitoreri Wake up, wake up
Ki ba orech, kumi uri Your light is coming, rise up and shine*
Uri, uri, shir daberi Wake up, wake up, and sing a song
Kevod HaShem alaich nig’lah You saw the glory of God
Lechah dodi, likarat kalah Come my lover to welcome the Shabat (referred to as the bride)
Penei shabat nekabelah We will welcome Shabat
Boi beshalom ateret ba’alah Enter in peace o crown of her husband
Gam besimchah uvetzahalah Even in gladness and good cheer
Toch emunei am segulah Among the faithful of the treasured nation
Boi Kalah, boi, kalah Enter o bride, enter o bride
Lechah dodi, likarat kalah Come my lover to welcome the Shabat (referred to as the bride)
Penei shabat nekabelah We will welcome Shabat
Lechah dodi, likarat kalah Come my lover to welcome the Shabat (referred to as the bride) Penei shabat nekabelah We will welcome Shabat
(*wikipedia translation)
Shabbat Shalom!
