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.

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

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.

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.

Good GOD she is talented and utterly *gorgeous*

Videographer deserves an award for this one.

I stumbled upon this voice by accident. It is rare to hear someone really sing these days with all the electronics. To use the word Special is the understatement of the year.

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" 🌾🇹🇷

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

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Ευλογίες 🙏🤍🕊️

Thank You Jesus

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...

Kadının herhangi bir estetik kaygı gütmeden şarkıyı yaşaması ♥️

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

The beautiful of you is you express the most beautiful power of woman. You are light, love and free ! And in this world when the woman is free the country become light !😘

Şarkılarınızı dinlediğim ilk günlerden beri şu his hiç değişmiyor: içimin semalarında kuşlar uçuruyorsunuz. Ve eminim ki nice insan da benimle aynı histe, ya da ben onlarla aynı duyguyu yaşıyorum :) İyi ki varsınız. Dünyaya sizin şarkılarınızla bakmak çok güzel...

She has such an amazing voice!

למה זה כשאני מקשיב למוזיקה שלך, יחד עם הקול שלך; אני יכול להרגיש את נוכחותו של אלוהים. איזה יופי השגת? הלוואי וידעתי את שמך הלב שלי נרפא עוד קצת בכל פעם שאני שומע אותך שר בעברית. כמה שנים בזבזתי בהתגעגעות לכישרון שלך? יותר מדי מכדי לשאת. לעולם אל תפסיק לעשות את מה שאתה אוהב, וכמו פרח תורמוס; היופי שלך יהיה נצחי. כמו המוזיקה שלך!❤

What a discovery, everyone should experience this moment.

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

Kayboluyorum önce. Sonra tekrar buluyorum kendimi her dinlediğimde. 3 yıldır sürekli dönüp dolaşıp...

There are people who sing with their voice, beautiful voices, but not many like you who sing with their souls .... Elohim hevarech. ‏אלוהים הברך

in Love for this band. Kisses From Brasil

This is song is a masterpiece

"This poem was written for this voice" (c) Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Don’t understand a a word of what you’re singing, but I hope you never stop singing! Quite moving!

Shine a light in my Babylon. I have in minds so many gusts of words, like lashes they keep scarring,no pity for the soft skin of feelings. Let me dry like dew ridden Sand at first sun' eyeblink. Let my wounds be healed, curami

this song broke me into tears, her voice reaches the soul... I love Light in Babylon

I dont understand nothing because I am brazilian, but this music vibrates my soul, and the singer is a desert princess.

"Be the change you want to see in the world".."hamaan taqyiri baashid ke mikhaahid dar jahhan bebinid"

I wish I had heard this voice before, because it was already inside my mind before I had ever met.

I don't understand the words of the song but music is universal.My favorite group since 2013...

Sometimes you couldn t understand any Word of the song, but you keep on listening it. You can t stop yourself. You ask yourself why I am listening the same song again and again.. But you can t find any reason. It is Just like that.

... I have seen death walk by, and I saw hope and lust pretend to matter, and it all amounted to a sweet nothing... dunno why, but this song reminds me of that bittersweet something. Truly enjoyable... 10 Tentacles up

Beautiful! Beautiful!! ...the song , the band , and Michal..

Metehan's timing on the Santur...near perfection. Each note compliments the piece...just amazing!

Now I realise that God's greatest gift to mankind is women. We have the perfect example right here.

If your not the most talented band and singer in the world then I don’t know what is 😍❣️

Sesini öyle güzel hissediyorum ki tüylerim diken diken oluyor:)

Powerful

I'm from Brasil, Rio de Janeiro. I knew I have arabian roots, but being raised at a tropical country, I had no idea of this kind of masterpiece. But at the very instant it filled my ears, my heart linked to this as if I'd had been used to by my mother's womb. Thank you for it.

Sizi taksimde tesadüfen gördüğümde belki 14 15 yaşındaydım. Çok etkilenmiştim sesinizden, müziğinizden.. Bidaha görmedim sizi orada ama hep dinledim şarkılarınızı.. Umarım birgün biryerde yine denk gelirim size❤️ bu sefer uzun uzun dinlemek dileğiyle 🙏🏼

Damn!!!You move me, excite me, and make me cry, but no for sad things, but for many sensations and feelings your voice suggest me. You are wonderful , thank you all.

Beautiful landscape!!!

Ever so special. I won't ever get tired. Thank you yet again. 😅😊
