Dror Yikra

The Yemenite Jewish song Dror Yikra, with some nice pictures of Synagogues and other Jewish stuff.

Hebrew lyrics:
דְּרוֹר יִקְרָא לְבֵן עִם בַּת.
וְיִנְצָרְכֶם כְּמוֹ בָבַת.
נְעִים שִׁמְכֶם וְלֹא יֻשְׁבַּת.
שְׁבוּ נוּחוּ בְּיוֹם שַׁבָּת:

דְּרוֹשׁ נָוִי וְאוּלַמִי.
וְאוֹת יֶשַׁע עֲשֵׂה עִמִּי.
נְטַע שׂוֹרֵק בְּתוֹךְ כַּרְמִי.
שְׁעֵה שַׁוְעַת בְּנֵי עַּמִּי:

דְּרוֹךְ פּוּרָה בְּתוֹךְ בָּצְרָה.
וְגַם אֱדוֹם אֲשֶׁר גָּבְרָה.
נְתוֹץ צָרַי בְּאַף וְעֶבְרָה.
שְׁמַע קוֹלִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא:

אֱלֹהִים תֵּן בַּמִּדְבָּר הַר.
הֲדַס שִׁטָּה בְּרוֹשׁ תִּדְהָר.
וְלַמַזְהִיר וְלַנִּזְהָר.
שְׁלוֹמִים תֵּן כְּמֵי נָהָר:

הֲדוֹךְ קָמַי חַי אֵל קַנָּא.
בְּמוֹג לֵבָב וּבִמְגִנָּה.
וְנַרְחִיב פֶּה וּנְמַלֶּאנָה.
לְשׁוֹנֵנוּ לְךָ רִנָּה:

דְּעֵה חָכְמָה לְנַפְשֶׁךָ.
וְהִיא כֶתֶר לְרֹאשֶׁךָ.
נְצֹר מִצְוַת אֱלֹהֶיךָ.
שְׁמֹר שַׁבָּת קָדְשֶׁךָ:

Transliteration:
Dror Yikra l'ven im bat
V'yintsorchem k'mo vavat.
Na'im shimchem velo yushbat.
Sh'vu venuchu b'yom Shabbat.

D'rosh navi v'ulami
Va'ot yesha ase imi
Neta sorek b'toch karmi
She'e shav'at b'nei ami.

Dror pora b'toch botsra
Vegam bavel asher gavra
Netots tsarai be'af evra
Sh'ma koli beyom ekra.

Elohim ten bamidbar har
Hadas, shita brosh tidhar.
Velamazhir velanizhar
Shlomim ten k'mei nahar.

Hadof kamai el kana
B'mog Levav uvimgina
V'narchiv pe unemalei'ina
L'shoneinu l'cha rina.

De'ei chochma lenafshecha
Vehi keter l'roshecha
N'tsor mitsvat kdoshecha
Shmor Shabbat kodshecha.

English translation:
He will proclaim freedom for all his children
And will keep you as the apple of his eye
Pleasant is your name and will not be destroyed
Repose and rest on the Sabbath day.

Seek my sanctuary and my home.
Give me a sign of deliverance.
Plant a vine in my vineyard.
Look to my people, hear their laments.

Tread the wine-press in Bozrah,
And in Babylon that city of might
Crush my enemies in anger and fury.
On the day when I cry, hear my voice.

Plant, Oh God, in the mountain waste
Fir and acacia, myrtle and elm
Give those who teach and those who obey
Abundance peace, like the flow of a river.

Repel my enemies, Oh zealous God.
Fill their hearts with fear and despair.
Then we shall open our mouths,
And fill our tongues with Your praise.

Know wisdom, that your soul may live,
And it shall be a diadem for your brow.
Keep the commandment of your Holy One
Observe the Sabbath, your sacred day.

@BodModxCORE Please go steal someone else culture, if anything it is you Gypsies who stole music tunes from Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Assyrian culture. BTW my Arabic friend didn't understand one word. You go do "some research"

[BodModxCORE]

@marbotification Actually, you will find the MUSIC is arabic or has a very heavy arabian influence. So hush your mouth before you get up on your high horse and tell me to go "do some research".

[marbotification]

@BodModxCORE what makes you so sure?? do some research before you talk such crap! i'm a yemeni jew and this music is most definitely a part of our culture and identity.

[bml0624]

Thats okay fellow Levy and other tribe members. Know that fire will rain down on those enemies. Whether it be literally from God or figuratively with Israeli nukes :)

[BodModxCORE]

This is absoloutly NOT jewish music. It is quite beautiful regardless (:

[metallhead94]
