L’Chah Dodi I Dreamed a Dream (ROBIN I)

L'cha dodi I dreamed a dream lik-rat kalah, in time gone by p'nei shabbat When hope was high n'kablah And life worth living L'cha dodi likrat kalah I dreamed that love would never die Pnei shabbat I dreamed that God n'kablah would be forgiving

Sha-mor v'zachor b'dibur ehad Then I was young and unafraid hish-mi-anu eil And dreams were made ham'yuhad and used and wasted adonai echad ush'mo ehad There was no ransom to be paid l'shem ul'tiferet v'lit-hilah. No song unsung No wine untasted Likrat shabbat l'khu v'nelchah But the tigers come at night Ki hi m'kor ha-brachah With their voices soft as thunder meyrosh mikedem n'suchah As they tear your hope apart Sof ma-aseh b'machashavah t'hilah As they turn your dream to shame Yamin u-smol tifrotzi He slept a summer by my side V'et adonai He filled my days ta'aritz i with endless wonder Al yad ish ben par-tzi He took my childhood in his stride V'nism'cha v'nagilah But he was gone when autumn came (We rise and face the door to greet the Sabbath Queen.)

Bo'i v'shalom And still I dream he'll come to me ateret ba'a’lah That we will live the years together Gam b'simcha but there are dreams that will never be u-v'tzoholah And there r storms we cannot weather Toch emunei am s'gulah I had a dream my life would be Bo'i chalah so different from bo'i challah this hell I'm living lchah dodi So different now

likrat kalah from what it seemed pnei shabbat now life has killed n'kabelah the dream I dreamed
