YEDID NEFESH	A SOUL MATE
Yedid nefesh av harachman Meshoch avdecha el retzonecha Yarutz avdecha kmo ayala Yishtachave el mul hadarecha	My soul mate, Merciful father Pull me your servant towards you Your servant will run like a doe And bow in front your grace

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.
