shem, bereshit olam
There, at the dawn of the world
omda chava ohevet mul adam
Eve stood loving before Adam
ezer kenegdo, tzela mitzalo
A helpmate beside him, a rib from his rib
meaz tzoed adam
Since then a man walks
el kiuunah shel zo asher chalam
Toward the one of whom he dreamed
al rosh simchato yaale otcha ito
He will raise you with him to the height of his joy
vehu lo yishkachech, ahuvato
And he will not forget you, his beloved
lo,lo,lo,lo ze lo mikre
No, no, no, no — it is not by chance
elokim rokem, tove
God weaves and spins
bechutey zahav beyneynu
In threads of gold between us

This, this is the way of the Creator
lekadesh et hahove
To sanctify the present
bechupat kochav mealeynu
Beneath a canopy of stars above us
zeman, otzer hazeman
Time, time stands still
lirgaim shel osher belavan
For moments of happiness in white
kol hamitzhalot bechupat kelulot
The sound of rejoicing beneath the wedding canopy
kan omed chatan
Here stands a groom
ochez yodcha umifyech nidham
Holding your hand, struck by your beauty
al rosh simchotcha
At the height of your joy

Raise up the one your heart has chosen
vehu lo yishkachech, hu ahuvcha
And he will not forget you, he is your beloved
lo,lo,lo,lo ze lo mikre
No, no, no, no — it is not by chance
elokim rokem, tove
God weaves and spins

In threads of gold between us

This, this is the way of the Creator

In holiness you shall be his wife

And like the crown upon your head

He will protect you and keep you

From storm, tempest, and cold

In nights of love

He will be your portion of peace
