Lincoln​’​s Nigun - Yamin U​’​smol

from Nigunim, Vol. IV: Brooklyn Spirituals by Joey Weisenberg & The Hadar Ensemble

/

about

“To the right and to the left they part, to welcome the holy presence…” (Kabbalat Shabbat)

When Abraham Lincoln used to go out to inspect his troops, the men would stand in miles-long lines, opening up to the right and to the left as he came through. The words of Yamin U’smol also express the anticipation and finally the reception of another enduring hero - the Shabbat Queen.

lyrics

יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל תִּפְרוֹצִי
וְאֶת־יְיָ תַּעֲרִיצִי
עַל יַד אִישׁ בֶּן פַּרְצִי
וְנִשְׂמְחָה וְנָגִילָה
לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה
פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה

בּוֹאִי בְשָׁלוֹם עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ
גַּם בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְצָהֳלָה
תּוֹךְ אֱמוּנֵי עַם סְגֻּלָּה
בּוֹאִי כַלָּה, בּוֹאִי כַלָּה
