Текст песни Candles (Mordechai Ben David) с переводом

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…
