EREV SHABBAT
SABBATH EVE
 
Erev Shabbat, ru'ach zaka
Mishe yavo el dalti hamchaka
Hu yikanes, or be einav
Eich akabel be simcha et panav

(Chorus)
Vered yiten nitsanim be gani
Bein hashmashot erev yutsat
Be chaloni yezamru hayonim
U be libi, Erev Shabbat

Erev Shabbat, zemer yashan
Mishe hu ba el beiti hakatan
Chum bivgadav chag beyadav
Umu'arim levavenu achshav

(Chorus)

Erev Shabbat, shovel anan
Shemesh tsova'at shkiot belavan
Mishe haya hu od yachzor
Im hashabat, ve hachag ve ha'or

(Chorus)

Sabbath Eve, gentle wind
Whoever comes to my yearning door
Will enter with light in his eyes
How I will greet him joyfully

(Chorus)
A rose will blossom in my garden
At dusk, the evening will glow
In my window the doves will sing
And in my heart it's Sabbath Eve

Sabbath Eve, old song
Someone's coming to my little home
Brown in his clothes, joy in his hands
And now the light brightens our hearts

(Chorus)

Sabbath Eve, edge of a cloud
The sun is coloring sunsets in white
Whoever it was he will return
With the Sabbath, the joy and the light

(Chorus)

VÉSPERA DE SHABBAT

Véspera de shabbat, vento suave

Quem quer que bata à minha piedosa porta entrará com luz em seus olhos, será alegremente acolhido.

 

Coro:

Uma roseira florescerá em meu jardim

Ao crepúsculo, a tarde se avermelhará.

À minha janela os pombos arrulharão

E em meu coração já é véspera de shabbat.

 

Véspera de shabbat, velha canção

Alguém está chegando ao meu humilde lar de roupa marrom, felicidade nas mãos e agora a luz ilumina nossos corações.

 

Coro: uma roseira ...

 

Véspera de shabbat, contorno de uma nuvem o sol está colorindo o ocaso de branco quem quer que tenha vindo voltará com o shabbat, a alegria e a luz.

 

Coro: uma roseira ...
