Ma Navu (How Beautiful) by Safam

Feb 3, 2016

מַה־נָּאו֨וּ עַל־הֶהָרִ֜ים רַגְלֵ֣י מְבַשֵּׂ֗ר מַשְׁמִ֧יעַ שָׁל֛וֹם מְבַשֵּׂ֥ר ט֖וֹב מַשְׁמִ֣יעַ יְשׁוּעָ֑ה אֹמֵ֥ר לְצִיּ֖וֹן מָלַ֥ךְ אֱלֹהָֽיִךְ׃

How welcome on the mountain Are the footsteps of the herald Announcing happiness, Heralding good fortune, Announcing victory, Telling Tzion, “Your God is King!”

mah-na-UV al he-ha-REEM rag-LEI me-va-SAYR mash-ME-a sha-LOM me-va-SAYR TOV mash-ME-a ye-shu-AH o-MER le-tsi-YON ma-LAKH e-lo-HA-yikh

Isaiah 52:7

ק֥וֹל צֹפַ֛יִךְ נָ֥שְׂאוּ ק֖וֹל יַחְדָּ֣ו יְרַנֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֣י עַ֤יִן בְּעַ֙יִן֙ יִרְא֔וּ בְּשׁ֥וּב יְהֹוָ֖ה צִיּֽוֹן׃

Hark! Your watchmen raise their voices, As one they shout for joy; For every eye shall behold Hashem's return to Tzion.

KOL tzo-FA-yikh na-SE-u KOL yakh-DAV ye-ra-NE-nu, KEE a-YIN b'-a-YIN yir-U, b'-SHUV a-do-NAI tzi-YON.
