VEZAKEINI- Baruch Levine, Benny Friedman, New York Boys Choir & Shir V’shevach Boys Choir-
Composed by Miriam Israeli & Baruch Levine, Lyrics by Miriam Israeli- Bonei Olam Single 2020

VERSE 1:
As I stand in candlelight
With my hands upon my eyes
There’s a passion in my prayers
That rends the skies,
For a mother’s tears can shatter
Every gate that bars the way
All the heavens will echo those words that mothers say.

CHORUS 1:
וְזַכֵּנִי, וְזַכֵּנִי
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray,
May they know You as I know You
Oh, Hashem, accept my plea
Give me children who’ll give nachas
וְזַכֵּנִי

VERSE 2:
As I stand in candlelight
While my home is dark and still
There’s a void inside my heart
I long to fill,
Will I ever be a mother
Will that blessing come my way
Will I stand by the candles
With gratitude and pray.

CHORUS 2:
וְזַכֵּנִי, וְזַכֵּנִי
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray,
May they know You as I know You
Oh, Hashem, accept my plea
Give me children who’ll give nachas
וְזַכֵּנִי

וְזַכֵּנִי, וְזַכֵּנִי
יֶעדֶער אֵיינֶער וִויל דָאס זֶעהן
בֶּעטְן מִיר בַּיי דִיר אַצִינְד
,נַחַת פוּן אַ יֶעדֶע קִינְד
זַרְעָא חַיָא וְקַיָמָא
אוּן מְ’לָאזְט אַ טְרֶער דֶערְצוּ
יֶעדֶער מִשְׁפָּחָה מִיט דִי בְּרָכָה
וְזַכֵּנִי
