Hebrew vocabulary:
Shabbas and Shabbat both mean the Sabbath!
Shavua tov means "have a super week"
Lyrics:
Working so hard, I keep on wondering
If there is a chance I will ever be through
Coming so far, but just as I'm finishing
It seems there is always some more work to do
I need a day to collect my thoughts
To spend some time with you
Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas
Come Friday Eve, the beggar and the billionaire
Will each have a feast that will last through the night
Who could believe that families everywhere
Are singing the songs by the same candlelight
Taking the time to appreciate
The wonderful things you do
Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas
When it gets darker on Saturday
I feel so sad as it goes away
I try to bring a little Shabbat in my shavua tov
Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat shalom
L'hadlik neir shel Shabbas
Shabbat shalom u'mevorach, Shabbat shalom u'mevorach
Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas
