Yah Ribbon Alam Aramaic Jewish Song

I do not own the rights to this video. I post it for those interested in Jewish liturgical poetry and in the Aramaic language.
The lyrics to this song were written by Rabbi Israel ben Moses Najara (ִ ר׳ יִשְׂרָאֵל בֵּן מֹשֶׁה נַאגָּ֗ארָה‎, إسرائيل بن موسى النجارة‎ ), a 16th/17th century Jewish rabbi and poet, born in Damascus, but later moved to Galilee, and then to Gaza where he served as a rabbi. He is buried in Gaza. He wrote a good many religious poems for liturgical use. This is probably his best known and most well-loved.
Here are the lyrics in three alphabets. I've typed the lyrics in Arabic letters for Assyrians who speak Aramaic but don't read it, and are accustomed to reading your church liturgy spelled in Arabic letters. (If you normally spell the "kh" sound with خ instead of ك, then please let me know):
יָה רִבּוֹן עָלַם וְעַלְמַיָּא.
ܝܐ ܪܒܘܢ ܥܠܡ ܘܥܠܡܝܐ
يا ربون عالم وعلمايّا
אַנְתְּ הוּא מַלְכָּא מֶלֶךְ מַלְכַיָּא
ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܠܟ ܡܠܟܝܐ
أنت هو ملكا ملك ملكايّا
עוֹבְדֵי גְבוּרְתָּךְ וְתִמְהַיָּא
ܥܘܒܕܝ ܓܒܘܪܬܟ ܘܬܡܗܝܐ
عوبدي جبورتك وتمهيّا
שְׁפַר קֳדָמַי לְהַחֲוָיָא
ܫܦܪ ܩܘܕܡܝ ܠܗܚܘܝܐ
شفار قوذماي لهحوايا
שְׁבָחִין אֲסַדֵּר, צַפְרָא וְרַמְשָׁא
ܫܒܚܝܢ ܐܣܕܪ، ܨܦܪܐ ܘܪܡܫܐ
شبحين أسدر، صفرا ورمشا
לָךְ אֱלָהָא קַדִּישָׁא דִּי בְרָא כָל נָפְשָׁא
ܠܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܝ ܒܪܐ ܟܠ ܢܦܫܐ
لك إلاها قدّيشا دي برا كل نفشا
עִירִין קַדִּישִׁין וּבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא
عيرين قدّيشين وبني أناشا
ܥܝܪܝܢ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܘܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
חֵיוַת בְּרָא וְעוֹפֵי שְׁמַיָּא
ܚܝܘܬ ܒܪܐ ܘܥܘܦܝ ܫܡܝܐ
حيوات برا وعوفي شمايّا
רַבְרְבִין עוֹבָדָךְ וְתַקִּיפִין
ܪܒܪܒܝܢ ܥܘܒܕܟ ܘܬܩܝܦܝܢ
ربربين عوبدك وتقّيفين
מַכִיךְ רְמַיָּא וְזַקִּיף כְּפִיפִין
ܡܟܝܟ ܪܡܝܐ ܘܙܩܝܦ ܟܦܝܦܝܢ
مكيك رمايا وزقّيف كفيفين
לוּ יִחְיֶה גְבַר שְׁנִין אַלְפִין
ܠܘ ܝܚܝܗ ܓܒܪ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ
لو يحيه جبار شنين الفين
לָא יֵעוּל גְּבוּרְתֵּךְ בְּחוּשְׁבְּנַיָּא
ܠܐ ܝܥܘܠ ܓܒܘܪܬܟ ܒܚܘܫܒܢܝܐ
لا يعول جبورتك بحوشبنيا
לְמִקְדָּשָׁךְ תּוּב וּלְקֹדֶשׁ קֻדְשִׁין
ܠܡܩܕܫܟ ܬܘܒ، ܘܠܩܘܕܫ ܩܘܕܫܝܢ
لمقدشك توب، ولقودش قودشين
אֲתַר דִּי בֵיהּ יֶחֱדוּן רוּחִין וְנַפְשִׁין
ܐܬܪ ܕܝ ܒܝܗ ܝܚܕܘܢ ܪܘܚܝܢ ܘܢܦܫܝܢ
اتار دي بيه يحدون روحين ونفشين
וִיזַמְּרוּן לָךְ שִׁירִין וְרַחֲשִׁין
ܘܝܙܡܪܘܢ ܠܟ ܫܝܪܝܢ ܘܪܚܫܝܢ
ويزمرون لك شيرين ورحشين
בִּירוּשַׁלֵם קַרְתָּא דְשׁוּפְרַיָּא
ܒܝܪܘܫܠܝܡ ܩܪܬܐ ܕܫܘܦܪܝܐ
بيروشالايّم قرتا دشوفريّا

The years pass and no other rendition sounds as beautiful as this one in my humble opinion

[@antonyabraham5890]

I dedicated this Alam Aramaic Jewish song for Suniana Singh.

[@giorgiozieno6758]

I love this😍

[@suefrank8184]

Hurrah for the rousing darabuka opening!

[@YbYBwRbY]

Thanks for the Estrangelo! Chag Sameach! Have you any posts of the three Shabbat hymns of the Arizal?

[@استاذدانيال]

No, I haven't. I'm unfamiliar with the Shabbat hymns of Arizal but I'll research them. I downloaded this video from RUclips over 10 years ago, and then it disappeared from YT, so I uploaded it again.

[@sidtapia09]

@@استاذدانيالthank you for uploading it again

[@SpencerChandler]

whose melody is this? or is the composer unknown/anonymous? thanks - well done

[@استاذدانيال]

I'm sorry, I wish I knew. There's another version by an individual playing a saz (I think) who uses the same melody.

[@SpencerChandler]

@@استاذدانيال thank you for replying - i just came across that video a few minutes ago, in fact - i enjoy this version here very very much

[@استاذدانيال]

@@SpencerChandler Here's the version of Ana Elekh that I find so moving:

and here are the lyrics:

The singers don't sing all of these lyrics or in order.
I could live in Israel for the music alone.

[@استاذدانيال]

@@SpencerChandler Here's a link to another version of Yah Ribbon Alam sung by a solo singer accompanying himself on saz:

Incidentally, "yah" is not the shortened form of the Divine Name, but the Arabic vocative particle يا meaning "O", as in "O Lord..."

[@h8ann]

What does the song mean, I don't understand its language?
