The power of a niggun,
The strength of a song
Brings us all together, gives us comfort,
Makes us strong.
So open your neshamah,
Let the niggun make you whole
And be touched by a niggun;
Let the music soothe your soul.
Chased by their masters,
A nation gripped with fear -
A terrified young people
Face a daunting new frontier.
The sea parts before them,
A miraculous display -
They lift their voice to Heaven,
Shiras haYam they pray.
The power of a niggun,
The strength of a song
Brings us all together, gives us comfort,
Makes us strong.
So open your neshamah,
Let the niggun make you whole
And be touched by a niggun;
Let the music soothe your soul.
Longing for a child,
Her lips move silently-
She cries with heartfelt fervor,
Hashem, please hear my plea!
Behold a son, a prophet!
She knits a cloak with love -
And Chana writes her shira
To thank the One Above.
The power of a niggun,
The strength of a song

Makes us strong.

A baby born with illness,
His father asks not why -
He fasts in desperation,
Oh please don't let him die!
Faced with a nisayon,
A test of his belief -
Lamnetzeach al mus la'bein,
Dovid's mizmor for his grief.
The power of a niggun,
The strength of a song
Helps to bring us closer,
Gives us comfort, makes us strong.
So open your neshamah,
Let the niggun make you whole -
And be touched by a niggun;
It's the language of your soul.
Learning by a shtender,
He softly hums a tune -
Its timbre and its melody,
The sweet sounds fill the room.
The heartbeat of our people,
The rhythm of our nation -
Its the Shirah of the Torah,
Our pulse our inspiration.

הלב והמעיין יוצאים בשיר קסום
סיקור על האלבום החדש והאיכותי של להקת "הלב והמעיין" - "יוצאין בשיר" המוקדש לניגוני חב"ד
ברוך הוא וברוך שמו
נתנאל לייפר בביקורת על אלבומו החדש והחביב שבו מארח הרב ברוך צ'ייט "תהילה לדוד" מגדולי המלחינים במוסיקה החסידית זמרים לשיר את שיריו. אולי פשוט מידי בהתחלה אך זורם ונעים יותר עם כל השמעה נוספת.
