M'nucha v'simcha or lay'hudim
Yom shabaton yom machamadim
Shom'rav v'zoch'rav hema m'idim
Ki l'shisha kol b'ru'im v'omdim
Rest and joy, light for the Jews
A day of complete rest, a precious day
Those who keep it and remember it attest
That all was created in six days, and still stands
Sh'me shamayim eretz v'yamim
Kol tz'va marom g'vohim v'ramim
Tanin v'adam v'chayat r'emim
Ki b'ya Hashem tzur olamim
The high heavens, earth and sea
The heavenly hosts, high above
Sea monsters and people, huge beasts
The whole world was created by Hashem
Hu asher diber l'am s'gulato
Shamor l'kad'sho mibo'o v'ad tzeto
Shabbat kodesh yom chemdato
Ki vo shavat mikol m'lachto
He who spoke to His chosen people
Guard its holiness from its coming and its going
The holy Shabbat is His precious day
For on it G-d rested from all His labors
B'mitzvat Shabbat E-l yachalitzach
Kum k'ra elav yachish l'am'tzach
Nishmat kol chai v'gam na'aritzach
Echol b'simcha ki k'var ratzach
With the Commandment of Shabbat G-d will strengthen you
Arise, call on Him, He will rush to refresh you
Read the prayers "Nishmat Kol Chai" and "Na'aritzach"
Eat joyfully, for you have already gained approval
B'mishne lechem v'kidush raba
B'rov mat'amim v'ruach n'diva
Yizku l'rav tuv hamit'an'gim ba
B'vi'at go'el l'chaye ha'olam haba
With double loaves and the "Kidush Raba"
With abundant delicacies and generous spirit
Those who enjoy it (Shabbat) will be favored with great good
With the coming of the redemption to life in the world to come
