L’kha dodi (verses 1, 2, 8, 9)

לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה, פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה.

שָׁמוֹר וְזָכוֹר בְּדִבּוּר אֶחָד,
הִשְמִיעָֽנוּ אֵל הַמְּיֻחָד,
יְיָ אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד,
לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶֽרֶת וְלִתְהִלָּה.

לְכָה דוֹדִי...

לִקְרַאת שַׁבָּת לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה,
כִּי הִיא מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה,
מֵרֹאשׁ מִקֶּֽדֶם נְסוּכָה,
סוֹף מַעֲשֶׂה בְּמַחֲשָׁבָה תְּחִלָּה.

לְכָה דוֹדִי...

יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל תִּפְרֽוֹצִי,
וְאֶת יְיָ תַּעֲרִֽיצִי,
עַל יַד אִישׁ בֶּן פַּרְצִי,
וְנִשְׂמְחָה וְנָגִֽילָה.

לְכָה דוֹדִי...

בּֽוֹאִי בְשָׁלוֹם עֲטֶֽרֶת בַּעְלָהּ,
גַּם בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְצָהֳלָה,
תּוֹךְ אֱמוּנֵי עַם סְגֻלָּה,
♌בּֽוֹאִי כַלָּה, ♌בּֽוֹאִי כַלָּה.
לְכָה דוֹדִי…
L’kha dodi likrat kalah, p’nei shabbat n’kablah.

Shamor v’zakhor b’dibur ehad,
hishmi·anu El ham·yuhad.
Adonai ehad u-shmo ehad,
l’shem u-l’tiferet v’lit·hilah.

L’kha dodi...

Likrat shabbat l’khu v’neil’khah,
ki hi m’kor ha-brakhah.
Meirosh mikedem n’sukhah,
Sof ma·aseh b’mahshavah t’hilah.

L’kha dodi...

Yamin usmol tifrotzi,
v’et Adonai ta·aritzi.
Al yad ish ben partzi,
V’nism’hah v’nagilah.

L’kha dodi…

Bo·i v’shalom ateret balah,
gam b’simhah u-v’tzoholah,
tokh emunei am s’gulah,
♌Bo·i khalah, ♌bo·i khalah.

L’kha dodi...

Come, my beloved, let us welcome the bride;
let us receive Shabbat’s presence.

“Observe” and “remember” were spoken as one,
and we heard it from the singular One.
God’s name is One and God is One,
renowned with honor and deserving of praise.

Come, my beloved…

Let us go and greet Shabbat,
the source of divine blessing,
created at the beginning of time,
But only formed at the end of six days.

Come, my beloved…

You will spread out to the right and left,
praising Adonai, our God.
Redeemed by the one who will come from the line of Peretz,
we will rejoice with songs of praise.

Come, my beloved…

Come in peace, crown-jewel of your spouse,
surrounded by gladness and joyous shouts.
Come to the faithful, the people You proudly treasure,
♌Come, my bride,♌ come, my bride…

Come, my beloved...
