Light in Babylon - Kipur

Kipur Lyrics translation * more translations and lyrics find on our website: www.lightinbabylon.com/ Original name : "Shachar Avakshecha" (At the dawn), a poem by Ibn Gabirol, Spain the 11th Century At the dawn I seek Thee, Rock and refuge tried, In due service speak Thee Morn and eventide. ‘Neath Thy greatness shrinking, Stand I sore afraid, All my secret thinking Bare before Thee laid. Little to Thy glory Heart or tongue can do; Small remains the story, Add we spirit too. Yet since man’s praise ringing May seem good to Thee, I will praise Thee singing While Thy breath’s in me.

Isn't it funny how sometimes even when you don't understand the words the song can still be very beautiful for your mind.

Here is a simple translation that sticks close to the original Hebrew: At dawn I will seek you, my rock and my refuge, I will prepare before you, my morning and evening prayers. Before Your greatness, I stand and tremble, For Your eyes can see all of the thoughts of my heart. What can the heart and tongue do, and what is my strength, the spirit within me? May the song of humanity be pleasant to you, and I will praise you as long as my Godly soul is within me.

Maybe ten years ago I saw you in Istanbul's streets singing a song with your beautiful performance. At that time I was so influenced by your performance. Yesterday when I receive from my friend's WhatsApp one of your videos... I said that was you. It is impossible to forget your Incredible voice incredible performance even after ten years.

Absolutely beautiful photography, and I've said it before, and I'll say it again. She is Hebrew and lives and sings in Istanbul. She is building bridges, not walls, between the two cultures. I live in California and had grown up in New York. I am so proud of this girl on the other side of the world.

Please don't stop making music 🙏 This band is amazing, you guys deserve to be known

When videos like this reach 1 billion views, I'll know Earth has become a pleasant, loving, blissful place to live in. This band should be getting the highest awards in music. This woman is easily one of the top singers alive.

I am from America. Texas, at the present moment. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio where I was brought up with many different types of people. From Arabic, to Greek, Italian, Jewish, Turkish, Polish, German, etc. My Mother was also a professional bellydancer and taught bellydance as well. I was exposed to many different genre's and types of music at a young age, thankfully. I have a very strong affinity for Middle Eastern music, Persian, and Indian music. It is all very spiritual to me. I thoroughly love the sounds of all the instruments from these areas, as well as the very intricate beats and rhythms. I don't listen to American music very much at all. I don't consider very much of it to be music. And it doesn't touch my spirit at all. When I first heard this song, my eyes started to tear up and my throat started quivering. I had no idea what she was saying. That is the very special beauty that music has. All people can connect through music. It has no boundaries. This woman sings with such passion, I had to find out what she was singing about. I now know, and may they all be blessed and continue to bringing tears to my eyes as well as the rest of the world. This, is what this world desperately needs!!! I love you all, for we are all human beings, and all brother's and sisters!!!

Me: A Black woman from Brooklyn. This song touches my soul.

That voice is haunting. I can't stop listening to this.

This song is how I constantly re center myself in this mad world.

Videographer deserves an award for this one.

Good GOD she is talented and utterly gorgeous

Her voice takes me back further than this lifetime of mine...Somewhere ancient, free of the structures around me, but it exists right here right now at the same time...

I don’t understand your language but your music awakens my soul. Thankyou, it’s just what I needed. Love from Australia ❤️

I'm not religious, but when I listen to beautiful Michal I know she's God's Power on Earth!

I didn’t understand a word of the song, but my tears came out . Her performance is so emotional. The artists are amazing. Thank you very much

İlk dinlediğim günden beri etkisinden çıkamadığım nadir şarkılardan biri. Hiçbir şarkı bana bu kadar yoğun duygular hissettirmiyor...

This music, this beautiful woman bring tears to my eyes. This speaks to the whole world. I pray for a way to peace, for the beautiful women of the world; the children, art, culture, humanity.

Şafak Vakti 🇹🇷🇹🇷 Şafak vakti seni arıyorum, Kayam ve sığınağım, Hizmetin için hazırlanacağım Sabah ve akşam. Yüceliğinin yanında küçülüyorum, Derin bir korkuyla duruyorum, Tüm gizli düşüncelerim Senin karşında çırılçıplak. Ne kalp, ne de dil pek bir şey katamaz senin haşmetine, Hikayemiz de küçüktür, Ama ruhumuzu katarız. Yine de insanın övgülerini duymak hoşuna gidebileceği için, Nefesin içimde olduğu sürece Şarkı söyleyerek sana şükredeceğim ... Bu şarkıya yeni rastladığım için çok üzüldüm nasılda kalbe hitap ediyor üstelikte bu derinlikteki manaya sahip hemde güzel ülkemde çekilmiş Ahh insanoğlu çoğumuz Aynı yaratıcı ya inanıp ibadet ediyoruz da birbirimizi sığdırmıyoruz 3 - 5 gün yaşayacağımız dünyayı ne çok önemsiyoruz ... YAHU ÖLÜM VAR ! Yunus Emre der "sevelim , sevilelim" 🌾🇹🇷
