HAREI AT MEKUDESHET LI

YOU ARE BETROTHED TO ME

 

Harey at mekudeshet li, kach ani omar

Kshe'at tilbeshi simlat klulot

Et haneshama hametuka sheli yashir lach hazamar

Va'ani askim ito bishney kolot

 

Ho kala yefeyfia
beshem ha'ahava ani nishba

Ho kala yefeyfia
avakesh yadech gam ba'olam haba

Tni chibuk vena'atzom enayim

Venisha'er lanetzach shney prachim

Ani ve'at zug mehashamayim

Az bo'i na'ase chupa kazot im kol ha'ohavim

 


Harey at mekudeshet li kach ani elchash

Ve'ekach otach lirkod barechava

Kshetigamer hamesiba, yafa sheli

Nisa le'yerach dvash

Venintzor lanetzach et ha'ahava

 

Ho kala yefeyfia
beshem ha'ahava ani nishba

Ho kala yefeyfia
avakesh yadech gam ba'olam haba

Tni chibuk vena'atzom enayim

Venisha'er lanetzach shney prachim

Ani ve'at zug mehashamayim

Az bo'i na'ase chupa kazot im kol hachaverim

I take you to be my wife, this is what I will say

When you will ware your bridal dress

The singer will sing for you, my sweet soul

And I will agree in a harmonious voice

 

Ho, beautiful bride,
I swear to you, in the name of love

Ho, beautiful bride,
I will ask for your hand even in the next world

Hug me and we will close our eyes,
and remain forever two flowers

You and I are a match made in heaven,

So let's have a chupah (canopy) with all the lovers

 


I take you to be my wife, this is what I will whisper

I will take you to dance on the dancing floor

When the party will be over, my beautiful,

We will go on our honeymoon

And will seal our love forever

Ho, beautiful bride,
I swear to you, in the name of love

Ho, beautiful bride,
I will ask for your hand even in the next world

Hug me and we will close our eyes,
and remain forever two flowers

You and I are a match made in heaven,

So let's have a chupa (canopy) with all the lovers

   

Hebrew words


Translator's note:

These are the words that are said under the chupa - weddding canopy -
when the groom puts the ring on his bride's finger.
The continuation is KEDAT MOSHE VE ISRAEL as in Jewish Law.
