Lechah dodi, likrat kalah
penei shabat nekabelah
(x2)
Shamor vezachor bedibur echad
hishmi'anu el hameyuchad
hashem echad ush'mo echad
leshem uletif'eret velitehilah
Lechah dodi...
Likrat shabat lechu venelchah

merosh mikedem nesuchah
sof ma'aseh bamach'shavah techilah
Lechah dodi...
Mik'dash melech ir meluchah
kumi tze'i mitoch hahafechah
rav lach shevet be'emek habacha
ve'hu yachamol alaich chem'lah
Lechah dodi...
Hitna'ari me'afar kumi
lib'shi big'dei tif'artech ami
al yad ben Yishai beit halach'mi
kar'vah el nafshi ge'alah
Lechah dodi...
Hitoreri, hitoreri,

Lecha dodi...
Lo tevoshi ve'lo tikal'mi

bach yechesu ani'ei ami,
venivnetah ir al tilah.
Lecha dodi...
Vehayu lim'shisah shosaich,
verachaku kol miv'laich,
yasis alaich Elohaich,
kimesos chatan al kalah.
Lecha dodi...
Yamin usmol tif'rotzi,

al yad ish bein partzi,
venis'mechah venagilah.
Lecha dodi...
Boi beshalom ateret ba'alah,

toch emunei am segulah,
boi kalah, boi, kalah;
toch emunei am segulah,
boi kalah, shabat malkah.
Lecha dodi...
