One of Nava Tehila's melodies for the High Holidays. For bilingual display of verses click A/א above
Text
We wrote the melody to fit Nussach Sefarad, and also added a phrase to include all humanity, just as we do when singing Oseh Shalom.
בְּסֵפֶר חַיִּים, בְּרָכָה וְשָׁלוֹם, וּפַרְנָסָה טוֹבָה, וּגְזֵרוֹת טוֹבוֹת, יְשׁוּעוֹת וְנֶחָמוֹת, נִזָּכֵר וְנִכָּתֵב לְפָנֶיךָ, אֲנַחְנוּ וְכָל עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֲנַחְנוּ וְכָל בָּאֵי עוֹלָם, לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים וּלְשָׁלוֹם:
In the book of life, blessing, peace, good sustenance, good decrees, salvations, and consolations, may we and all Your people, the House of Israel, we and all who dwell in this world, be remembered and inscribed before You for a good life and for peace.
B'sefer chayim, bracha v'shalom ufarnasa tova, ugzerot tovot, yeshu'ot v'nechamot, nizacher v'nikatev l'faneicha, anachnu v'chol amcha beit yisrael, anachnu v'chol ba'ei olam, l'chayim tovim ul'shalom.
