Yom shishi ba'erev

Chagigi hakerem uvalev cherdat kodesh

Umitoch hamitbach nichochot olim ba'im
Et imma leshabbach ki hine ma tov umata'im


CHORUS
Tishte k'tzat nana im ha'tea
O ulai hawaij bekafe
Ve'az taskim itanu sheh
Hachayim etzleinu hem davar yafe.

Umivet haknesset silsulim nishma'im
K'sherak oleh hayom ani muchan umetzuman
Lomar shabbat shalom velashuv el matamei Teiman.

CHORUS
Yom shabbat ba'erev
etzel Mishpachat Tzanani

Hashabbat overet uvaru'ach hamavdil

Friday evening
with the Tzanani family
The vineyard is festive and
the heart is filled with festive reverence.
And from the kitchen the aromas come up.
Praise to mother because here
is what is good and tasty.

CHORUS
Drink a little tea with mint.
Or maybe coffee with hawaij (yemenite spices)
And then you'll agree with us that
Life by us is a nice thing.

Saturday morning
with the Tzanani family.
And from the synagogue trills are heard.
As day begins, I am ready
To say 'good sabbath' and to return to the delicacies of Yemen.

CHORUS
Saturday evening
with the Tzanani family.

The Sabbath is over and
blessed is the one who makes Havdalah
(ceremony ending the sabbath)
