Translation:

Come, my Beloved, to meet the Bride; let us welcome the Shabbat.

"Observe" and "Remember," the one and only G-d caused us to hear in a single utterance; the L-rd is One and His Name is One, for renown, for glory and for praise.

Come, my Beloved...

Come, let us go to welcome the Shabbat, for it is the source of blessing; from the beginning, from aforetime, it was chosen; last in creation, first in [G-d's] thought.

Come, my Beloved...

Sanctuary of the King, royal city, arise, go forth from the ruins; too long have you dwelt in the vale of tears; He will show you abounding mercy.

Come, my Beloved...

Shake the dust off yourself, arise, don your glorious garments --- my people. Through the son of Yishai of Bet Lechem, draw near to my soul and redeem it.

Come, my Beloved...

Arouse yourself, arouse yourself, for your light has come; arise, shine.
Awake, awake, utter a song; the glory of the L-rd is revealed upon you.

Come, my Beloved...

Do not be ashamed nor confounded; why are you downcast and why are you agitated? The afflicted of my people will find refuge in you; the city will be rebuilt on its former site.

Come, my Beloved...

Those who despoil you will be despoiled, and all who would destroy you will be far away. Your G-d will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

Come, my Beloved...

To the right and to the left you shall spread out, and the L-rd you shall extol. And we shall rejoice and exult, through the man who is a descendant of Peretz.

Come, my Beloved...

Come in peace, O crown of her Husband, both with songs and gladness; among the faithful, the beloved people, come, O Bride, come, O Bride.

Come, my Beloved...

Thank you to Michael in Germany for the words to the song. It was very thoughtful and kind of you to respond. Having the words to the song will help me to enjoy the song even more.

re. L´cha Dodi
L'cha Dodi
(refrain)
L'cha dodi likrat kala
P'nei shabbat n'kabalah
Likrat shabbat l'chu v'nelcha
Ki hi m'kor habracha
Merosh mikedem n'sucha
Sof ma'aseh b'machshava t'chila.
Hitoreri, hitoreri
Ki va orech kumi ori
Uri uri shir dabeiri
K'vod hashem alayich nigla.
Bo'i v'shalom ateret ba'la
Gam b'simcha uv-tzohola
Toch emunei am s'gula
Bo'i chala, bo'i chala.
