My soul mate, Merciful father
Pull me your servant towards you

Your servant will run like a doe
And bow in front your grace


ιγιγ πτω

Hebrew words

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.
(Lyrics from Zmirot Lasheret)
