Nachamu

Jewish Folk Song (Shabbat Nachamu, from Isaiah 40:1-2)

Lyrics

נַחֲמוּ נַחֲמוּ עַמִּי,
יֹאמַר אֱלֹהֵיכֶם:
דַּבְּרוּ עַל־לֵב יְרוּשָׁלַם
וְקִרְאוּ אֵלֶיהָ

na- cha- mu na- cha- mu a- mi,
yo- mar e- lo- kei- chem:
da- b'- ru al- leiv y'- ru- sho̞- la- yim
v'- kir- u ei- lei- ho̞

Na-cha-mu na-cha-mu a-mi, yō-mar e-lō-hay-chem:
da-b’-ru al-layv y’-ru-sho-lam v’-kir-u ay-lei-ho

"Console, console My people,"
says your G-D.
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and call to her...
