Darashti – דָּרַשְׁתִּי
Darashti LYRICS
Darashti Kirvatech
Oneg kara l’Shabbat hamalkah
Levarech ul’zamer b’gilah v’rinah
Havah nashir b’kol ram u’vidmamah
Bo’i kallah bo’i kallah
Darashti kirvatech
B’chol libi nichsafti likratech
Nafshi cholat ahavatech
Higaleh na et sod sodech
Yayin l’kiddush eirusim v’nisu’im
Al ahavah v’achavah anachnu modim
Same’ach tesamach re’im ahuvim
Od yishama biyerushalayim
Noam zivach bakashti lir’ot
Huvlah el hachupah b’kol mitzhalot
Kol dodi mekapetz al hag’va’ot
Nirkod gam bayamim u’valeilot
Hashmi’ini et kolech ahuvati
Avakesh panayich ki lach amar libi
Ma na’amt ho ahavat nafshi
Rayati yonati tamati
עֹנֶג קָרָא לְשַׁבָּת הַמַּלְכָּה
לְבָרֵךְ וּלְזַמֵּר בְּגִּילָה וְרִנָּה
הָבָה נָשִׁיר בְּקוֹל רָם וּבִדְמָמָה
בּוֹאִי כָּלָה בּוֹאִי כָּלָה
דָּרַשְׁתִּי קִרְבַתֵּךְ
בְּכָל לִבִּי נִכְסָפְתִּי לִקְרָאתֵּךְ
נַפְשִׁי חוֹלַת אַהֲבָתֵךְ
הִגָלֶה נָא אֶת סוֹד סוֹדֵךְ
יַיִן לְקִדּוּשׁ, אֵרוּסִים וְנִישׂוּאִים
עַל אַהֲבָה וְאַחֲוָה אֲנַחְנוּ מְוֹדִים
שָׂמֵחַ תְּשָׂמַח רֵעִים אֲהוּבִים
עוֹד יִשָׁמַע בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם
נֹעַם זִיוַךְ בַּקָּשְׁתִי לִרְאוֹת
הוּבְלָה אֶל הַחוּפָּה בְּקּוֹל מִצְהַלוֹת
קוֹל דוֹדִי מְקַפֵּץ עַל הַגְּבָעוֹת
נִרְקֹד גַּם בַּיָּמִים וּבַלֵּילוֹת
הַשְׁמִיעִינִי אֶת קוֹלֵךְ אָהוּבָתִי
אֲבַקֵּשׁ פָּנַיִיךְ כִּי לָךְ אָמַר לִבִּי
מָה נַעָמְתְ הוֹ אָהֲבָת נַפְשִׁי
רַעְיָתִי יוֹנָתִי תַמָּתִי
Translation – I Seek Your Nearness
“A celebration” we call the Shabbat Queen
To bless and sing with joy and gladness
Come let us sing in full voice and in whispers
Come my bride, Come my bride.
I seek your nearness
With all my heart I dreamt of your coming
My soul is sick with love for you
Reveal to me your secrets’ secret
Wine for kiddush, betrothals, and weddings
On love and brotherhood we bless up today!
Be happy and joyful, dear friends and lovers
Let it be heard again in Jerusalem
Oh gentle spark, I begged to see you
Escorted to the Huppah with celebratory fanfare
The voice of my beloved skips over the hills
We’ll dance through the days and the nights
Let me hear your voice, my love
I long to see your face, my heart calls to you
What gentleness o love of my soul
My lover, my dove, my desire.
