Eshet Chayil | אשת חיל | Jewish Prayer Song in Celtic Folk Style

Eshet Chayil — a Jewish music and Celtic folk version of the traditional Shabbat song, with male baritone vocals, acoustic instruments, and a warm ritual folk pulse. A Jewish prayer song inspired by medieval folk, Celtic folk, oud accents, nylon guitar, harp overtones, frame drum taps, and ancient Shabbat table reverence. This version of Eshet Chayil blends the sacred Hebrew words of Proverbs 31 with a unique acoustic folk atmosphere: intimate male vocals, modal fiddle lines, soft piano flourishes, oud color, hand percussion groove, and a bittersweet Shabbat evening feeling. May this song bring honor, warmth, and blessing to every Shabbat table. Lyrics: אשת חיל מי ימצא ורחוק מפנינים מכרה בטח בה לב בעלה ושלל לא יחסר גמלתהו טוב ולא רע כול ימי חייה דרשה צמר ופשתים ותעש בחפץ כפיה היתה כאוניות סוחר ממרחק תביא לחמה ותקום בעוד לילה ותיתן טרף לביתה וחוק לנערותיה זממה שדה ותיקחהו מפרי כפיה נטעה כרם חגרה בעוז מותניה ותאמץ זרועותיה טעמה כי טוב סחרה לא יכבה בלילה נרה ידיה שלחה בכישור וכפיה תמכו פלך כפה פרשה לעני וידיה שלחה לאביון לא תירא לביתה משלג כי כול ביתה לבוש שנים מרבדים עשתה לה שש וארגמן לבושה נודע בשערים בעלה בשבתו עם זקני ארץ סדין עשתה ותמכור וחגור נתנה לכנעני עוז והדר לבושה ותשחק ליום אחרון פיה פתחה בחוכמה ותורת חסד על לשונה צופיה הליכות ביתה ולחם עצלות לא תאכל קמו בניה ויאשרוה בעלה ויהללה רבות בנות עשו חיל ואת עלית על כולנה שקר החן והבל היופי אשה יראת ה׳ היא תתהלל תנו לה מפרי ידיה ויהללוה בשערים מעשיה English Translation A woman of valor, who can find? Her worth is far beyond pearls. The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will lack no gain. She brings him good and not harm, All the days of her life. She seeks wool and linen, And works willingly with her hands. She is like merchant ships, From afar she brings her bread. She rises while it is still night, And gives food to her household, And a portion to her maidens. She considers a field and takes it, From the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She girds her waist with strength, And strengthens her arms. She senses that her trade is good, Her lamp does not go out at night. She stretches her hands to the spindle, And her palms hold the distaff. She opens her palm to the poor, And stretches out her hands to the needy. She does not fear snow for her household, For all her household is clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for herself, Fine linen and purple are her clothing. Her husband is known at the gates, When he sits with the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, And gives belts to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the days to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise and praise her, Her husband also praises her. Many daughters have done valiantly, But you rise above them all. Grace is false, and beauty is fleeting, A woman who fears Hashem — she shall be praised. Give her from the fruit of her hands, And let her deeds praise her at the gates. Spanish Translation Una mujer de valor, ¿quién podrá encontrar? Su valor está muy por encima de las perlas. El corazón de su esposo confía en ella, Y no le faltará ganancia. Ella le trae bien y no mal, Todos los días de su vida. Busca lana y lino, Y trabaja con gusto con sus manos. Es como los barcos mercantes, Desde lejos trae su pan. Se levanta cuando aún es de noche, Y da alimento a su casa, Y una porción a sus doncellas. Considera un campo y lo toma, Con el fruto de sus manos planta una viña. Ciñe su cintura con fuerza, Y fortalece sus brazos. Percibe que su comercio es bueno, Su lámpara no se apaga por la noche. Extiende sus manos al huso, Y sus palmas sostienen la rueca. Abre su mano al pobre, Y extiende sus manos al necesitado. No teme la nieve por su casa, Porque toda su casa está vestida de escarlata. Hace cobertores para sí misma, Lino fino y púrpura son sus vestidos. Su esposo es conocido en las puertas, Cuando se sienta con los ancianos de la tierra. Hace prendas de lino y las vende, Y entrega cinturones al comerciante. Fuerza y dignidad son su vestidura, Y sonríe ante los días por venir. Abre su boca con sabiduría, Y la enseñanza de la bondad está en su lengua. Vigila los caminos de su casa, Y no come el pan de la ociosidad. Sus hijos se levantan y la alaban, También su esposo la alaba. Muchas hijas han obrado con valor, Pero tú te elevas por encima de todas. Falsa es la gracia, y pasajera la belleza, La mujer que teme a Hashem — ella será alabada. Denle del fruto de sus manos, Y que sus obras la alaben en las puertas. #EshetChayil #JewishMusic #JewishPrayerSong
