Hamavdil Songtext
von Moshe Hecht

The Lights are dim a fire glow
you pour me wine and overflow
I lift my cup we′re on our way
my lips begin to sing your praise
Oh, blessed are you
who separates the holy from the dark
oh blessed are you
who separates the holy from the dark

Hamavdil ben kodesh l'chol
bein or l′choshech
ben yisrael haamim
ben yom hashvii l'sheishes y'mei hamaaseh


oh blessed are you
who separates the holy from the dark
oh baruch atah hashem
hamavdil ben kodesh l′chol

You separate the holy from the dark
You fan the ashes and behold a spark
The seventh day from the six days of creation
Reality from imagination

oh blessed are you
who separates the holy from the dark
oh blessed are you
who separates the holy from the dark


I pick the fruits off from the vine
I smell spices of all kind
I rub these stones and behold a flame
Until next time I will remember your name
The holy from the vain
the holy from mundane
I will remember your name
I will remember your name
