Song. 2

Hebrew

בְּרַח דּוֹדִי עַד שֶׁתֶּחְפַּץ אַהֲבַת כְּלוּלֵינוּ
שׁוּב לְרַחֵם, כִּי כָּלוּנוּ
מַלְכֵי אֱדוֹם הָרִשְׁעָה, שׁוֹבֵינוּ, תּוֹלָלֵינוּ
הֲרֹס וְקַעֲקֵעַ בְּצָתָם מִתּוֹכֵנוּ
הָקֵם טוּרָךְ, נַגֵּן שְׁתִילֵינוּ הִנֵּה־זֶה עוֹמֵד אַחַר כָּתְלֵנוּ:

Sephardi

Berach dodi ad shetechpatz ahavat cheluleinu
shuv lerachem, ki kalunu
malchei Edom harish'ah, shoveinu, tolaleinu
haros veka'ake'a betzatam mitochenu
hakeim turach, nagen shetileinu hineh-zeh omed achar katleinu:

English

Hasten, my Beloved, before the time comes for our youthful love; have compassion for us once more, for the kings of the evil Edom, our captors and tormentors, have almost destroyed us: break them and uproot them from our midst! Rebuild Your Temple, and let our offspring make music within. "Here He stands behind our wall!"

Song. 2

Hebrew

בְּרַח דּוֹדִי עַד שֶׁיִּפּוּחַ קֵץ מְחֻזֶּה
חִישׁ וְנָסוּ הַצְּלָלִים מִזֶּה
יָרוּם וְנִשָּׂא, וְגָבוֹהַּ נִבְזֶה
יַשְׂכִּיל וְיוֹכִיחַ, וְגוֹיִם רַבִּים יַזֶּה
חֲשֹׂף זְרוֹעֲךָ, קְרָא בָזֶּה קוֹל דּוֹדִי הִנֵּה־זֶה:

Sephardi

Berach dodi ad sheyipuch ketz mechuzzeh
chish venasu hatzelalim mizeh
yarum venisa, vegavohah nivzeh
yaskil veyochiach, vegoyim rabim yazzeh
chasof zero'acha, kera bazzeh kol dodi hineh-zeh:

English

Hasten, my Beloved, before the envisioned time blows by; hurry, and let the shadows fly away from our midst. The once despised [Messiah] shall be exalted, lofty, raised high; he shall prosper; he shall reprove and preach to many nations. Bare Your arm as we call out: "The voice of my Beloved - I hear Him coming!"

Song. 8

Hebrew

בְּרַח דּוֹדִי וּדְמֵה־לְךָ לִצְבִי: / יַגֵּל, יַגֵּשׁ, קֵץ קִצְבִי
דַּלּוֹתִי מִשְּׁבִי / לַעֲטֶרֶת צְבִי
תַּעֲגוּבִים, תָּאֵבִים הַר צְבִי / וְאֵין מֵבִיא וְנָבִיא
וְלֹא תִשְׁבִּי / מְשַׁוִּי, מְשִׁיבִי
רִיבָה רִיבִי / הָסֵר חוֹבִי וְכַאֲבִי
וְיֵרֶא וְיֵבוֹשׁ אוֹיְבִי / וַאֲשִׁיבָה חוֹרְפִי בִּנְיָבִי
זֶה דוֹדִי, גּוֹאֲלִי, קְרוֹבִי / רֵעִי וַאֲהוּבִי / אֵל אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי.

Sephardi

Berach dodi udemeh-lecha litzvi: - yagel, yagesh, ketz kitzvi
daloti mishevi - la'ateret tzvi
ta'aguvim, ta'evim har tzvi - ve'ein meivi venavi
velo tishbi - meshavei, meshivi
rivah rivi - haser chovi vecha'avi
veyere veyevosh oyvi - va'ashivah chorfi binyavi
zeh dodi, go'ali, kerovi - re'i va'ahuvi - Eil elohei avi.

English

Hasten, my Beloved, and be like a gazelle; reveal and bring near my time of redemption; draw me out of my captivity to be a crown of glory. We are despised, and long for the beautiful [Temple] Mount, but there is neither leader nor prophet, no [Elijah the] Tishbite to straighten my path or restore me; so plead my cause, erase my debt and my suffering, let my enemy see it and be put to shame. Then shall I respond to my scorner, saying: "This is my Beloved, my closest Redeemer, my Companion and Cherished One, God, the God of my father!"

Hebrew

בִּגְלַל אָבוֹת תּוֹשִׁיעַ בָּנִים, וְתָבִיא גְאֻלָּה לִבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Sephardi

Biglal avot toshi'a banim, vetavi geulah livnei veneihem
Baruch atah Adonai, ga'al Yisrael.

English

For the sake of the ancestors, redeem the descendants, bringing salvation to their children's children. Blessed are You, LORD, who redeemed Israel.
