OROT SHABAT

SABBATH LIGHTS

(SHIR SHABAT)

(A SONG FOR SHABAT)
 

Bashamayim kvar dolkim
Orot shki'a adumim
Chalfu avru shiv'a yamim
Hine shabat malka yoreden min he'harim  

Bo'i redi shabat malka
Kvar shabat numi kol melacha
Bo'i kala bo'i kala
Otach nekadesh ke'ateret ba'ala  

Me'et haShem bematana
Le'Israel shabat nitna
Beno leven amo hi ot
Lichen mitzvah lishmor ota vela'asot

Bo'i redi.....  

Ba shabat yom menucha
Oneg la zmirot simcha
Neyaroteha hem kvoda
Gam yayin gam chala vegam dagim base'uda

Bo'i redi.....

Red sunset lights, light the sky
Six days have passed
Shabat the queen
Comes down from the mountains

Come down, Shabat the queen
It is Shabat, rest day, stop all work
Come, bride, come ,bride
We will bless you, like the jewel in the crown

Israel received the Shabat
As a present from God
A sign between him and his people
This is why we observe it  

Come down............

Shabat is here, a day of rest
We chant Shabat songs, and find pleasure
We honour Shabat
Wine, chala and fish we eat

Come down.............

   

"Ha'amranim", a popular singing duo, sang this song,
