לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה
פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה

לֹא תֵבֹשִׁי וְלֹא תִכָּלְמִי 
מַה תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי וּמַה תֶּהֱמִי 
בָּךְ יֶחֱסוּ עֲנִיֵּי עַמִּי 
וְנִבְנְתָה עִיר עַל תִּלָּהּ. לְכָה

וְהָיוּ לִמְשִׁסָּה שֹׁאסָיִךְ 
וְרָחֲקוּ כָּל מְבַלְּעָיִךְ 
יָשִׂישׂ עָלַיִךְ אֱלֹהָיִךְ 
כִּמְשׂוֹשׂ חָתָן עַל כַּלָּה. לְכָה

יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל תִּפְרֹצִי 
וְאֶת ה' תַּעֲרִיצִי 
עַל יַד אִישׁ בֶּן פַּרְצִי 
וְנִשְׂמְחָה וְנָגִילָה. לְכָה

בֹּאִי בְשָׁלוֹם עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ 
גַּם בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְצָהֳלָה 
תּוֹךְ אֱמוּנֵי עַם סְגֻלָּה 
בּוֹאִי כַלָּה בּוֹאִי כַלָּה. לְכָה

Come, my beloved, to greet the bride, let us welcome the presence of Shabbat.
Be not ashamed, nor be confounded. Why are you cast down, and why are you disquieted? The poor of my people trust in you, and the city shall be built on her own mound.
And they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that would swallow thee shall be far away: thy God shall rejoice over thee, as one member of a wedding couple rejoiceth over the other.
Thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left, and thou shalt reverence God. Through the offspring of Perez we also shall rejoice and be glad.
Come in peace, thou crown of thy spouse, with rejoicing and with cheerfulness, in the midst of the faithful of the chosen people: come, O bride; come, O bride.
