Hear this song and more on TheZone Zemiros CD: oorahauction.org/zemiros Lyrics written by Malka Leah Josephs: Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah Shamor v’zachor b’dibur echad, Hishmi’anu kel ha’meyuchad. Hashem echad u’shmo echad; L’shem ul’siferes v’l’sehila. Two words ‘Protect’ and ‘hold’ In unison were told Hashem made sure we heard them just as one Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! Likras Shabbos l’chu v’nelcha, Ki hi m’kor ha’bracha. Me’rosh mi’kedem n’sucha; Sof ma’aseh b’mach’shava t’chila. To greet the holy Shabbos we go, The source of all blessing we know, Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! Mikdash melech, ir m’lucha, Kumi, tze’i mi’toch ha’hafecha. Rav lach sheves b’emek ha’bacha; V’hu yachmol alai’yich chemla. The great bais hamikdash, we long to rebuild We pray that you rise up anew Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! Hisna’ari me’afar kumi, Livshi bigdei sifartech ami. Al yad ben Yishai beis haLachmi; Karva el nafshi g’ala. Rise up, my people, arise Dust off your clothing and come claim your prize Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! His’oreri, his’oreri, Ki va orech, kumi ori. Uri, uri, shir daberi; K’vod hashem alai’yich nigla. Awaken, arise! Let light in your eyes! And sing out a song to your master Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! Lo sevoshi v’lo sikalmi, Mah tishtochachi uma tehemi. Bach yechesu ani’yei ami; V’niv’nesa ir al tila. Do not, feel any shame There is no, embarrassment or blame Come protect, no pain and no more guilt As the holy bais hamikdash is rebuilt! Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos (oy!) n’kabelah! V’hayu lim’shisa shosai’yich, V’rachaku kol m’valai’yich. Yasis alai’yich Elokai’yich; Kimsos chasan al kala. Your enemies, will be overthrown Those who hurt, you will come undone HaShem embra-ces you-arms open wide Just like, a chosson with his bride! Lecha dodi Likras kala, P’nei Shabbos(oy) n’kabelah! Yamin u’smol tifrotzi, V’es Hashem ta’aritzi. Al yad ish ben Partzi; V’nism’cha v’nagila! Right and Left, you will spread your wings Hashem’s praise - you will proudly sing For Moshiach! He is on his way We look forward to that day! Lecha dodi likras kala, p’nei Shabbos n’kabelah! Bo’i v’shalom, ateres ba’ala, Gam b’simcha uv’ tzhala. Toch emunei am segula; Bo’i chala, bo’i chala.
