Lyrics: Friday night zmirot

יוֹם שַׁבָּתֹן אֵין לִשׁכֹּחַ
זִכְרוֹ כְּרֵיחַ הַנִחֹחַ
יֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מַנוֹחַ
וְשָׁם יָנוּֽחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹּחַ

Yom shabàton ’éin lishkoakh.
Zichro keréakh hanikhoakh.
Yonàh màts’àh vo mànoakh
veshàm yànukhu yegi‘éi koakh.

[A day of Sabbath rest.
As hard to forget as sweet scent.
The dove finds comfort
and there the weary rest.]
