Ari Goldwag - Im Eskakhekh
Hebrew sung in a Yiddish (Eastern-Central European) accent

Hebrew: (Psalms 137:5-7)
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלָםִ - תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
תִּדְבַּק לְשׁוֹנִי לְחִכִּי
אִם לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי
אִם לֹא אַעֲלֶה אֶת יְרוּשָׁלִַם עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי

Translation:
If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

Transliteration:
Im eshkokheykh Yerusholaim, tishkakh yemini
Tidbak leshoyni lekhiki
Im lo ezkereykhi
Im lo yaale es Yerusholaim al rosh simkhosi

בלבבי משכן אבנה להדר כבודו
ובמשכן מזבח חסים לקרנו הודו
ולנר תמיד אקח לי את אש העקדה
ולקורבן אקריב לו את נפשי היחידה

In my heart I will build a temple for the grace of His honor
And those who take shelter under His alter will thank Him
I’ll take the fire of the akedah as a guiding light
and as a sacrifice, give him my only soul

Mizmor LeTodah (Song of Praise)- Sagiv Cohen. Based entirely on Psalms 100. The song is in Hebrew and is sung with a Yemeni accent.

Hebrew:

מזמור לתודה הריעו לאדוני כל הארץ
עבדו את אדוני בשמחה
בואו לפניו ברננה

דעו כי אדוני הוא האלוהים
הוא עשנו ולו אנחנו עמו וצאן מרעיתו

בואו שעריו בתודה חצרותיו בתהילה
הודו לו ברכו שמו
כי טוב אדוני לעולם חסדו
ועד דור ודור אמונתו

Transliteration:

Translation:

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness
come before His presence with singing.

Know ye that the LORD He is God
it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise
be thankful unto him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting;
and His truth endureth to all generations.

Know ye that the LORD He is God
it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

מעומק נשמתי צמא אליך אלוקי אלוקים

From the depth I call upon You, God, listen to my cry

From my heart I call for You, God, hear my prayer
From the depth of my soul I yearn for you, my God, God
