Translation:

I shall offer praise at the Shabbat morning meal, and shall herewith invite the holy Ancient One.

May the supernal light shine thereon through the great Kiddush and good wine that gladdens the soul.

May He send to us its resplendence and we shall behold its glory; may He reveal to us His hidden things which are said in secret.

May He disclose to us the reason for the twelve breads which symbolize a letter of His name both in the combined and the single form.

May we be united with the Supreme One in Whom is the life of all things; may our strength be increased and may (our prayer) ascend and become (a diadem) upon His head.

Field laborers (Torah scholars), rejoice with speech and voice, and speak the words (of Torah) which are sweet as honey.

Before the Master of the worlds you will reveal words in the secrets (of the Torah), and deliver new insights (in it);

To adorn the table with the precious secrets (of the Torah), profound and hidden, which are ordinarily not to be revealed.

And these words will become firmaments. Who will abide therein? None other than the (Shechina which is allegorically called the) sun.

He will ascend to a more lofty level; and He will take to Himself His mate (Israel) from whom He was separated (during the week).

It would be wonderful if I could have the text to this beautiful song, so it would be easier to sing along as we all learn to sing it... Please?
(There are other songs also, where the text is missing, which makes it a little difficult to learn for us who struggle to learn the most beloved language of our hearts...)

You have to love this Shabbat song
We have been trying to learn this song as whenever we go to a friends house for Shabbat lunch they sing it and I love it. It however is very difficult. I have just now found it here on Rabbi Barry's web site. What a find! Now I can play it over and over again til I learn it. Won't they be surprised when I can join in with the singing. Thanks Rabbi Barry. You have to teach this one back home.
Shabbat Shalom to everyone back in the old country. We have a half hour to go so I'm out of here.
