leja dodi
Lechah dodi, likrat kalah
penei shabat nekabelah
(x2)
Shamor vezachor bedibur echad
hishmi'anu el hameyuchad
hashem echad ush'mo echad
leshem uletif'eret velitehilah
Lechah dodi...
Likrat shabat lechu venelchah

merosh mikedem nesuchah
sof ma'aseh bamach'shavah techilah
Lechah dodi...
Mik'dash melech ir meluchah
kumi tze'i mitoch hahafechah
rav lach shevet be'emek habacha
ve'hu yachamol alaich chem'lah
Lechah dodi...
Hitna'ari me'afar kumi
lib'shi big'dei tif'artech ami
al yad ben Yishai beit halach'mi
kar'vah el nafshi ge'alah
Lechah dodi...
Hitoreri, hitoreri,

kevod hashem alaich nig'lah.
Lecha dodi...
Lo tevoshi ve'lo tikal'mi

bach yechesu ani'ei ami,
venivnetah ir al tilah.
Lecha dodi...
Vehayu lim'shisah shosaich,
verachaku kol miv'laich,
yasis alaich Elohaich,
kimesos chatan al kalah.
Lecha dodi...
Yamin usmol tif'rotzi,

al yad ish bein partzi,
venis'mechah venagilah.
Lecha dodi...
Boi beshalom ateret ba'alah,

toch emunei am segulah,
boi kalah, boi, kalah;
toch emunei am segulah,
boi kalah, shabat malkah.
Lecha dodi...
Come, my beloved
Come, my beloved, to meet the bride
The presence of Sabbath let us receive
(x2)
Observe and remember in one utterance
Heard us, the unique one
The Lord is one, His name is one
For praise, for splendor, and for glory
Come, my beloved...
To meet Sabbath, come, let us go
For it is the source of blessing
From the beginning, from the east, she is sent
The conclusion of the deed is in the thought's inception
Come, my beloved...
The royal palace, the city of kingship
Arise and go out from the midst of the ruin
Greatly shall you dwell in the valley of weeping
And He will have compassion upon you
Come, my beloved...
Shake off the dust, arise
Dress in your adornments, my people
By the hand of the son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite
Approach to my soul's redemption
Come, my beloved...
Awaken, awaken
For your light has come, arise, shine
Shine, shine, sing and speak
The glory of the Lord upon you is revealed
Come, my beloved...
Do not be ashamed and do not be humiliated
Why are you downcast and why are you disquieted
In you the poor of my people shall seek refuge
And the city shall be rebuilt on its hill
Come, my beloved...
And they shall be for your rulers
And your oppressors shall be far removed
Your God shall rejoice over you
As a groom rejoices over his bride
Come, my beloved...
To the right and to the left you shall spread
And the Lord you shall adorn
By the hand of a man between the factions
And you shall rejoice and be glad
Come, my beloved...
Come in peace, O crown of your husband
Also in joy and in gladness
Among the faithful of the chosen people
Come, bride, come, bride
Among the faithful of the chosen people
Come, bride, Sabbath queen
Come, my beloved...
