Vzakeini
Whispers of Love: Unlocking the Meaning Behind Vzakeini
Lyrics
As I watch my mother stand
Observing the speaker's mother standing.
In the Shabbos candlelight
In the warm glow of the Shabbos candles.
There's a question in my mind
A question arises in the speaker's mind.
Burning bright
Intense curiosity or concern.
What is it that she whispers
Wondering about the whispered words.
What's the reason for her tears
Trying to understand the reason for her tears.
What is the secret behind
Questioning the hidden meaning of a mother's prayers.
A mommy's prayers
Exploring the secret behind maternal supplication.
Vzakeini, Vzakeini
Repetition of the word "Vzakeini."
That's the tefilah that she says
Describing the specific prayer (tefilah) being said.
She is davening for you
The mother is praying for someone's well-being.
For your health and your success
Wishing for health and success for the person.
That you grow up to be faithful
Desiring the person to grow up faithful to values.
As the Torah lights your way
Comparing faithfulness to the guiding light of Torah.
And that she'll see only nachas
Hoping for joy and pride (nachas) from the person.
From you each day
Anticipating positive experiences each day.
As I stand there at her side
The speaker stands next to the mother.
As I watch her silently
Observing the mother quietly.
I think of all the dreams
Reflecting on the dreams the mother has for the speaker.
She has for me
The speaker's desire is to fulfill those dreams.
All I want is to keep trying
Expressing a commitment to keep trying.
Just to make them all come true
To make the mother's dreams come true.
Mommy I promise, that I'll do
A promise to do the best for the mother.
My best for you
Dedication to giving one's best effort.
Vzakeini, Vzakeini
Repetition of the word "Vzakeini."
That's the tefilah that she says
Reiterating the specific prayer being said.
She is davening for you
The mother is praying for someone's well-being.
For your health and your success
Wishing for health and success for the person.
That you grow up to be faithful
Desiring the person to grow up faithful to values.
As the Torah lights your way
Comparing faithfulness to the guiding light of Torah.
And that she'll see only nachas
Hoping for joy and pride (nachas) from the person.
From you each day
Anticipating positive experiences each day.
Vzakeini, Vzakeini
Repetition of the word "Vzakeini."
That's the tefilah that she says
Reiterating the specific prayer being said.
She is davening for me
The mother is praying for the speaker's well-being.
For my health and my success
Wishing for health and success for the speaker.
That I grow up to be faithful
Desiring the speaker to grow up faithful to values.
As the Torah lights my way
Comparing faithfulness to the guiding light of Torah.
And that she'll see only nachas
Hoping for joy and pride (nachas) from the speaker.
From me each day
Anticipating positive experiences each day.
From me each day
Repetition of the phrase "From me each day."
From you each day
Expressing the hope for positive experiences daily.
From me each day
Repetition of the phrase "From you each day."
From you each day
Continuation of the hope for positive experiences daily.
Vzakeini
Repetition of the word "Vzakeini."
