Yemenite Shabbath Song
If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.

If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.

If I keep it, if I keep it, if I keep it —
If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.
I will keep it —
If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.

It is a sign forever,
Between Him and me.

It is a sign forever,
Between Him and me.

It is forbidden to seek one’s own affairs,
To pursue one’s own ways.

It is forbidden to seek one’s own affairs,
To pursue one’s own ways.

Even if I speak of them,
Words of kings.

Even if I speak of them,
Words of kings.

Today is honored, a day of delights.
Today is honored, a day of delights.
Today is honored —
Bread and good wine,
Meat and fish.
Bread and good wine,
Meat and fish.

Pleasant and delightful
Above all its companions.

Pleasant and delightful
Above all its companions.

Six days behind it
Shall be its attendants.

Six days behind it
Shall be its attendants.

If I keep it, if I keep it, if I keep it —
If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.
I will keep it —
If I keep the Sabbath,
God will keep me.

It is a sign forever,
Between Him and me.

It is a sign forever,
Between Him and me.
