LECHA ELI T'SHUKATI

Lecha Eli t'shukati
becha chashki ve'ahavati
lecha libi vekilyotai
lecha ruchi venishmati

Hashiveni ve'ashuvah
vetirtzeh et t'shuvati
(x2)

Na na na...

Lecha ez'ak becha ed'bak
adei shuvi le'admati
lecha ani be'odi chai
ve'af ki acharei moti

Hashiveni...

Oooo...

Lecha yad(a)i lecha ragl(a)i
umimcha hi t'chunati
lecha atzmi lecha dami
ve'ori gam goyati

Hashiveni...

TO YOU MY GOD IS MY DESIRE

To you my God is my desire
in you is my pleasure and my love
to you is my heart and my kidneys
to you is my spirit and my soul

Bring me back and I shall return
and thou shalt want my repentance
(x2)

Na na na...

To you I shall shout out, to you I shall stick
until my return to my land
to you I am as long as I live
(except) until after my death

Bring me back...

Oooo...

To you is my hand and foot
and from you is my characteristic
(all of) myself, my blood is for you
and my skin and my nation

Bring me back...

LACHO ELI

Lacho Eli teshugothi
bacho chashki wa'ahavothi
lacho libi wechiliothai
lacho ruchi wanishmothi

Hashiveni wa'ashuvoh
