שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם SHABBAT SHALOM in tasliterated Hebrew and in English:

Ima madlika nerot shabat
vechol hayeladim omdim sviva
Lapamotim sholchim mabat
sheyesh bo or vechom ve'ahava

Ima mevarachat shabat shalom
ve'ima mitpalelet shabat shalom
Ima me'achelet shabat shalom
lechol hamishpacha shela

Ima madlika nerot shabat
et shtei eineiha hi otzemet umchasar
vechol hayeladim le'at le'at
lochashim balev tfila

Ima madlika nerot shabat
veshemesh kvar nota le'ever yam
me'al yered hachoshech od me'at
ach or ishre babayit le'olam
Mother lights the Sabbath candles
and all the children stand around her
they cast a glance to the candlesticks
full of light and warmth and love

Mother gives a blessing ‘Shabbat Shalom'
and mother prays ‘Shabbat Shalom'
Mother wishes ‘Shabbat Shalom'
to all her family

Mother lights the Sabbath candles
she closes and covers her eyes
and all the children slowly, slowly
whisper a prayer in their hearts

Mother lights the Sabbath candles
and the sun is already turned towards the sea
dusk will fall from above
but light will remain in our homes forever.
