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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!❤

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

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

Good GOD she is talented and utterly *gorgeous*

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

Thank You Jesus

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

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.

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

My eyes in tears, my heart in heaven. Michal, You are a true goddess from the ancient past. I love everything You create. You are so wonderful. You feel the world like very few. And I feel You. Never stop singing.

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

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.

Michal, you stole my soul

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 ❤️

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 !😘

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

Kadının herhangi bir estetik kaygı gütmeden şarkıyı yaşaması ♥️

What a discovery, everyone should experience this moment.

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

My God! what a beautiful thing!! all musicians are wonderful, but this woman sings with her soul and it moves me so much!

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.

MashaAllah, this is one of my favorite songs. Alhamdulilah. Long live Light in Babylon!!

My daughters and I have become in love lol with her music her voice is amazing. My daughter Coraline is only 4 and she listens to you every single day she's a total fanatic🤩🤤🤣

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

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...

in Love for this band. Kisses From Brasil

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" 🌾🇹🇷

וואו ממש. כמה עומק ככה עוצמה בשירתך הנפלאה והזועקת להשמיע כנות ליבך. הצלחה לך זמרת ויוצרת מבורכת.

Türkçe Çevirisi: 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

i never heard such a beautiful, outstanding, deep song wow really amazing

LOVE THIS and Michal Elia Kamal!

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.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Ευλογίες 🙏🤍🕊️

I haven’t heard anything so beautiful and authentic in a long time, this is real heavenly music

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

She's like a conduit for something ethereal.

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.

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

God brings you to this world, and I thank him with all my heart.

Don´t understand a word, but I get a feeling I understand completely. Beautiful.

Yine de insanın övgülerini duymak hoşuna gidebileceği için, Nefesin içimde olduğu sürece Şarkı söyleyerek sana şükredeceğim .

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

I don’t know of any other singer who puts so much passion and emotion in their song. This is real music!

This woman feels every word she sings I can’t understand a word yet her voice is so powerful and amazing.

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

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

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

What an amazing voice, what an amazing performance, I've been listening this song for a week now every chance I get and every time I'm taken away from this world. Thank you Michal. You are one of a kind.

That there could be anything so beautiful as her, her voice, your music, and the Goreme valley is nearly enough to make me believe in God, your music is amazing, although I cannot understand a word, tears fall every time I watch one of your videos, hope the best for you all in everything you do.

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

As your UKposts follower, you can be sure that I will enjoy watching your new works and sharing them. Greetings from Istanbul Sarıyer, I wish you success in your work.

when you sing your lips form the shape of a heart. ❤

For past week since I first heard Hinach Yafa, I have been obsessively listening to your songs - especially Kipur and Bursanin. Your music is very uplifting. Michal your voice is divine, it touches something deep within. The accompaniments are superb. For the first time I feel I am listening to pure music that does not depend on any gimmickry or pyrotechnics to make an impact. I feel very fortunate to have found your music. I do not understand Hebrew or Turkish, but you are a proof that music is a universal language. I checked your concert dates but none seem to be in USA. Are you planning to tour here anytime? In the meantime please keep creating your brand of soul stirring music. Many many many thanks for the invaluable gift you have given. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

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

This beautiful woman sings to God and the band play to God.

What a beatiful Woman .. !!!

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

the beauty of this union and this landscape leaves me speechless...

My favorite song from Light of Babylon

Bu nasıl bir şarkıdır her dinleyişimde içimden bir şeyler kopuyor.

Sorry to keep saying this on all the videos but I’m in love with Michal, she is so beautiful, passionate, full of soul and truly inspired with music and talent. Whole band is amazing but she is otherworldly!

I didn't understand the language but your voice and music really touched my soul. Your composition is beyond skin,colour n religion. You are true messenger of peace. Love u from India.

I only discovered light in babylon few weeks ago I'm 50 yrs a music fan this yr since was 8 yrs old while not understand language at moment you s have something really special a passion and intensity that comes across brilliantly in vocal and musicianship that is very rare even more so today ❤❤❤ . While the singer always get more attention in a band than musicians it's the tight unity of a band as one unit that makes the delivery of your performances so special ❤❤❤ hopefully see yous live soon.

I have listened to this song approximately 50 times within the last 2 days, and each time it still brings tears to my eyes and chokes me up. This lady sings with such passion, she is absolutely incredible!!! This is what music should do. It should bring forth emotions. Thank you very much.

Это божественно! И Богу именно так хочется петь! Хвала Всевышнему и поклон создателям и исполнителям этой песни!
