Yedid Nefesh from Sasson v'Simcha by David Sasso

Hebrew lyrics

Yedid nefesh av harachaman, meshoch avdecha el retzonecha,
Yarutz avdecha k'mo ayal, yishtachave el mul hadar'cha,
Ki ye'erav lo, yedidotecha, minofet tzuf v'chol ta'am.

Hadur nae ziv ha'olam, nafshi cholat ahavatecha,
Ana el na refa na la, beharot lah no'am zivecha,
Az titchazek v'titrapei, v'hayta la shifchat olam.

English translation

Lover of my soul, merciful God,
bring​ your servant close to Your will.
Your servant will run like a gazelle, to prostrate​ before Your glory.
For Your companion​ship is purer than any fine taste or flavor.

Perfe​ct, pleasing,​ radiance of the world, my soul desires Your love.
Pleas​​​e, God, heal her now, as You show her the pleasantn​ess of Your light.
Now, strengthe​n and heal her, and she will be for You an eternal servant.
