English Lyrics

The sun is going down, it's shining through the trees.
Another week's gone by, become a memory.
So throw away your hammer, there's nothing left to do.
Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you.

(Refrain)
It's time to say "good shabbos" 'cause all your work is done.
gonna spend a a day together with the holy one
Say a special blesing on a cup filled with wine
Man and his Creator, it's a very special time.

Your Candles will be burning, to fill your home with light
Singing songs of shabbos, well into the night
so throw away the hammer, there's nothing left to do
go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you

(refrain)
It's time to say good shabbos
'cause all your work is done
Gonna spend the day together with the holy one
Say a special blessing on a cup filled with wine
Man and his Creator, it's a very special time.

You can spend time with your family, you'll study and you'll pray
Why not wait 'till after shabbos
oh, those nails won't run away
oh, so throw away that hammer
there's nothing left to do.
Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you.

(refrain)...
