Song language: English
Candles |
| As the world lies silent mother lights the candles |
| And she cries, and smiles and wipes the teardrops from her eyes |
| The shabbos is born in our home |
| I feel the sudden warmth, the sudden change of air |
| As we stand with all the malachim there |
| If I could only keep the kedusha here and bring the whole world to see |
| I’d have them stand around me and watch me say amen |
| And after me they all would do the same |
| I know they would, there’s no need to explain how grateful they would be |
| If only I could tell them |
| If only they would know |
| Just what it is that makes the Shabbos so holy |
| And if I could only show them |
| The beauty of this day |
| They would keep it too and we’d send this golus away |
| Everyone’s singing, describing all the splendor |
| Of this world of creation; |
| the sudden day, the sudden night; |
| Everything beautiful, bright |
| Then there was a sudden warmth, a sudden change of air |
| As flowers and grass dressed up the atmosphere |
| If I could only keep the kedusha there and bring the whole world to see |
| All the birds, and the fish, and the animals big and small |
| Blossoming trees and water to feed them all |
| And man was formed to heed his Master’s call; |
| The world was completed |
| And then the sun began to lower, the world was all done |
| The day of Shabbos, of rest and beauty for everyone |
| Vayivorech ess yom hashvi’i vayekadesh oso |
| Ki vo shavos mikol milachto |
| Everyone’s singing… |
