Yaakov Shwekey – Baruch Hashem It’s Shabbos

Subtitled Music Video (English)

Lyrics

From nine to five
That wheel just keeps on turning
The rush the drive
A week of working
Never evading our goal
Till a moment creates a transformation
Within our soul

Time to unwind
The daily grind is over
And we can find
The peace of mind
The light inside that makes us whole
In a moment that dates back to creation
Hashem’s in control

We let out a sigh
And look up to the sky
As the sun sets on all our cares
So happy it’s finally here

Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos

גוט שאבעס

We’re signing out
Of all the wheeling-dealing
We’re zooming in
And getting close to the Creator of it all
Till the moment that brings a separation

בין קודש לחול

Let’s turn around
And seek the inner meaning
That can be found
When we step out of our day to day routine
It’s a moment our souls find elevation
While greeting a queen

We let out a sigh
As we tell her goodbye
And escort her upon her way
It’s just six more days till we say

Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos

גוט שאבעס

יום השישי
ויכלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם
ויכל אלוקים ביום השביעי
מלאכתו אשר עשה
וישבת ביום השביעי

English translation

From nine to five,
that wheel just keeps on turning;
the rush, the drive,
a week of working, never evading our goal
till a moment creates a transformation
within our soul.

Time to unwind,
the daily grind is over,
and we can find the peace of mind,
the light inside that makes us whole.
In a moment that dates back to creation,
God is in control.

We let out a sigh and look up to
the sky as the sun sets on all our cares,
so happy it’s finally here.

Blessed be God, it’s Shabbat.
Have a good Shabbat.

We’re signing out of all the wheeling-dealing;
we’re zooming in and getting close to the Creator of it all.
Till the moment that brings a separation
between holy and mundane.

Let’s turn around and seek the inner meaning
that can be found when we step out of our day-to-day routine.
It’s a moment our souls find elevation while greeting a queen.
We let out a sigh as we tell her
goodbye and escort her upon her way.
It’s just six more days till we say:

Blessed be God, it’s Shabbat.
Have a good Shabbat.

On the sixth day,
the heavens and the earth and all their hosts were completed.
And God completed on the seventh day
the work which He had done,
and He rested on the seventh day.
