Anim Zmiros


Lyrics:

Transliteration:

An'im Z'miros V'shirim E'erog, Ki Eilecho Nafshi Sa'arog Nafshi Chomdo B'tzel Yodecho Loda'as Kol Roz Sodecho.

Translation:

I sing hymns and compose songs because my soul long for you. My soul desires Your shelter to know all Your ways.

Words from Shir Hakovod, a prayer recited antiphonally in many synagogues by the cantor and congregation on the Shabbat at the conclusion of Musaf Amidah service.

Musical Notes

This is a melody in two sections, expressing the profound longing of the Jewish soul for its Creator. "I sing hymns and compose songs because my soul long for you. My soul desires Your shelter to know all Your ways." The succeeding verses may also be sung with the same melody.

It was customary for the Lubavitcher Rebbe, to teach a new melody each year on the holiday of Simchat Torah after the Hakofot or to reintroduce and old melody. The disciples learn the new melody and sing it at future Chassidic gatherings. This melody of was taught by the Rebbe on Simchat Torah 1961 (5722), when he also explained its inner meaning.
