YEDID NEFESH (Hebrew)
A SOUL MATE (English)
Meshoch avdecha el retzonecha
Yarutz avdecha kmo ayala
Yishtachave el mul hadarecha
Pull me your servant towards you
Your servant will run like a doe
And bow in front your grace
Note:
Yedid Nefesh is sung traditionally with Kabblat Shabbat in its quicker, more upbeat version.
The slower version is often a part of the third Shabbat meal.
It was composed by R' Eliezer Azikri, author of the Sefer Charedim and a well known kabbalist.
