Hi! Thanks for posting this version of the song! I've been looking for it for months since I used to sing it at temple when I was younger! Would you happen to have it in mp3?

[EddyetSalome]

Chabbath Chalom à tout le monde! Magnifique prière!!♥♥♥

[houlamocheleretour]

Ah voilà cette si belle musique que l'on a chanté à Shabbat !

[Voodooinc2k]

Chorus:

Let’s go, my beloved, to meet the bride,- Lekhah dodi liqrat kallah

and let us welcome the presence of Shabbat.- p'nei Shabbat neqabelah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 1:

"Observe" and "recall" in a single utterance, Shamor v'zakhor b'dibur eḥad

We were made to hear by the unified God,- hishmiʿanu El hameyuḥad

God is one and God’s Name is one- Adonai eḥad ushemo eḥad

In fame and splendor and praiseful song.- L'Sheim ulitiferet v'lit'hilah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 2:

To greet Shabbat let’s go, let’s travel,- Liqrat Shabbat lekhu v'nelekhah

For she is the wellspring of blessing,- ki hi maqor haberakhah

From the start, from ancient times she was chosen,- merosh miqedem nesukhah

Last made, but first planned. sof maʿaseh b'maḥashavah teḥilah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 3:

11 Sanctuary of the king, royal city,- Miqdash melekh ʿir melukhah

Arise! Leave from the midst of the turmoil;-Qumi tze'i mitokh ha-hafeikhah

Long enough have you sat in the valley of tears- Rav lakh shevet b'ʿeimeq habakha

And He will take great pity upon you compassionately.-v'hu yaḥamol ʿalayikh ḥemlah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 4:

Shake yourself free, rise from the dust, Hitnaʿari me'afar qumi

Dress in your garments of splendor, my people, Livshi bigdei tifartekh ʿami

By the hand of Jesse’s son of Bethlehem, ʿAl yad ben Yishai beit ha-laḥmi

Redemption draws near to my soul.- Qorvah el nafshi g'alah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 5:

Rouse yourselves! Rouse yourselves!- Hitʿoreri hitʿoreri

Your light is coming, rise up and shine.-Ki va oreikh qumi ori

Awaken! Awaken! utter a song,-ʿUri ʿuri shir dabeiri

The glory of the L-rd is revealed upon you.- K'vod Ado-nai ʿalayikh niglah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 6:

Do not be embarrassed! Do not be ashamed! -Lo tivoshi v'lo tikalmi

Why be downcast? Why groan?- Mah tishtoḥai umah tehemi-

All my afflicted people will find refuge within you- bakh yeḥesu ʿaniyei ʿami

And the city shall be rebuilt on her hill- v'nivnetah ʿir ʿal tilah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 7:

Your despoilers will become your spoil,- V'hayu limshisah shosayikh

Far away shall be any who would devour you- V'raḥaqu kol mevalʿayikh

Your God will rejoice concerning you,-Yasis ʿalayikh Elohayikh

As a groom rejoices over a bride.- Kimsos ḥatan ʿal kalah

[Voodooinc2k]

Verse 8:

To your right and your left you will burst forth,- Yamin usmol

And the L-rd will you revere- V'et Adonai taʿaritzi

By the hand of a child of Perez,- ʿAl yad ish ben Partzi

We will rejoice and sing happily.- V'nismeḥah v'nagilah

Verse 9:

Come in peace, crown of her husband,- Boi v'shalom ateret baʿalah

Both in happiness and in jubilation- Gam b'simḥah uvetzahalah

Amidst the faithful of the treasured nation-Tokh emunei ʿam segulah

Come O Bride! Come O Bride!- Boi khalah boi khalah

[santiagocat22]

Shalom

[DrPunjabi]

shabbos reflects the souls rest in divine peace. haShem wants to draw

each single soul (nephesh) back to him , from which the Shema stems.

Nobody should be between this eternal love of Elohim and his children.

as jews were are specially chosen and his beloved the eyeapple of Hashem.

Shabbat Shalom !

[yifatne]

[jdbarraz]

Wow... I didn't realize how important these words, or this melody, were to me until I was reintroduced to it right now.

Thanks for posting this.

[jovano4]

This wonderful liturgical work was composed in the 16th century Ottoman Empire city of Edirne by Rabbi Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz, a Safed Kabbalist.. The author draws much of his phraseology from Isaiah's prophecy of Israel's restoration, and six of his verses are full of the thoughts to which his vision of Israel as the bride on that great Shabbat of Messianic deliverance gives rise.

Blessings to everyone of all persuasions/faiths from the old city of Samarqand!

[MariaKournosBieber]

I really like this song, the singer has an amazing voice. God bless you guys :)

Good Shabbos to everyone.

[MagicianofHuaguoshan]

[antoncircle]

very nice song! please send me all songs in mp3)))

[rachelhyman1]

Hi, beautiful song. I was actually looking for this version for a long time and am happy that I finally found it. Do you know who wrote the melody for this song? I would like to record just the chorus of this song in a video that I am doing. (I would be singing the chorus) Anyway, I think I would need a license for that though. Do you know if this melody is public domain or not??? Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon.

[yifatne]

@rachelhyman1

Hi Rachel

I'm happy that you finally found the version you like

I'm sorry but i don't know who worte the melody.

I think this melody is public

i wish you all the best and lufk and joy at the record

shana tova and

Asaph

[MrEzzywezy]

@yifatne

I dont know who composed this melody.

However I have been told that this version of Lecha Dodi was first sung in the Nozyk Synagogue in Warsaw.

[Cantormatis]

@MrEzzywezy Highly unlikely that it originated in the Nozyk, since the Nozyk had a large choir and fine professional cantors, and the custom of those choirs and cantors was to sing a thru-composed cantata-like arrangement, or, that the cantor would improvise on the strophes of the poem and the refrain would be sung by the choir and the congregation. This melody is much more likely of Israeli or Chassidic origin, and while it may be sung in Warsaw now, no way was this sung there before the SHoah

[helaine625]

@rachelhyman1 I've been trying to find this version too -- guess it was not as popular as I thought! This is the way my daughter learned it in Hebrew school, so it's the one that's familiar to me too. Thank you, yifatne, for posting this!

[pablick1]

@rachelhyman1 i've heard this melody sung in shul especially the refrain l'cha dodi etc.

[hek7]

@rachelhyman1 I think this song has been sung since the medieval times or longer. I don't know about other countries but I've been told that a song becomes public domain when the person who wrote it died at least 70 years ago.

[SHAYEL1MAGNEZI]

פשוט מצמרר

[Regenbogen3580]

I love Shabbat! I will sing this song next Shabbat.

[nellurichsass08]

Thank you, when my husband came back home, i asked him and he said exactly the same explanation.

Than you for your time.

Shabbat Shalom.

[amirfuter]

@jrogaw v רבי לוי יצחק מברדיטשוב רבן של כל ישראל אמר לתלמידיו: "תאמין לי אם הייתי יודע שהעולם ישמעו בקולי, הייתי צועק בקול גדול מסוף העולם ועד סופו שכל מי שרוצה להיות איש כשר וצדיק ועובד ה' באמת, יהיה זהיר וזריז להתקרב להרב הקדוש רבי נחמן מברסלב".. עוד אמר: "איפה שיש משהו אמיתי וטוב חטף אותו רבי נחמן".על הצדיק נאמר-אנת הוא שבת
