YEDID NEFESH (“Soul Mate”)
Words: Elazar Azikri, Shabbat Liturgy
Music: Traditional Sepharadi-Yerushalmi (Maqam Sigah)

lyrics

Beloved of my soul, Merciful Father
draw your servant after your will
Your servant would run swift as a deer
to kneel before Your splendor
For Your love is sweeter to him
than honey nectar and all pleasing savor

Exalted Glorious Beautiful Light of the World
my soul is love-sick for You
Please, My God, please heal her
by showing her the beauty of Your radiance
Then she will be strengthened and healed
and be Your maidservant forever

Ancient One arouse Your mercy
spare the son of Your beloved friend
For he has a long time longed to behold
the magnificence Your might
Please, My God, My Heart’s Delight,
oh come quickly do not forsake me

Reveal Yourself my dearest
and spread over me Your canopy of peace
Let the earth be illuminated with Your glory
let us be delighted and rejoice in You
Make haste my beloved for the time has come
show me Your favor as in the days of old
