== References from Our Rebbeim Regarding the Niggun ==
== Statements from the Rebbes About This Nigun ==
The Frierdiker Rebbe would instruct to sing this niggun during farbrengens of Anash. On one occasion he said about the niggun: "It cleanses the soul and removes from it the sircha (= impurity) which can be discerned in the final movement."


The Mitteler Rebbe said about the niggun: "The father (Alter Rebbe) could dig within a chassid and tear out the not-good through Chassidus or a niggun, but this niggun also demands from the chassid. The words of the niggun are the Rebbe's response to the chassid regarding why there is an urgent need for personal avoda."
The [[Frierdiker Rebbe]] would instruct that this nigun be sung at [[farbrengen|farbrengens]] of Anash. On one occasion he said of it: "It cleanses the [[neshama]] and removes from it the sirechah — the impurity — and by the final movement one can already notice this."<ref name="simchas-torah-5689">Sicha of Simchas Torah 5689 (1928).</ref>


== Words of the Niggun ==
The [[Mitteler Rebbe]] said of this nigun: {{quote|The father (the Alter Rebbe) could reach into the inner depths of a Chassid and tear out the unworthy through Chassidus or through a nigun — but this nigun also makes a demand of the Chassid. The words of the nigun are the Rebbe's answer to the Chassid as to why the urgent need for personal inner work.}}
<blockquote>Kol dodi dofek, Pitchi-li achoti Rayati yonati tamati — Shir HaShirim, Chapter 5, Verse 2</blockquote>In Sefer HaNiggunim (Part 2), there appears an additional version, more precise and with several additional sections. This is the version that Chassid R' Elchanan Dov Marozov would sing, and this is how it is sung today at the Rebbe's farbrengens.


This niggun is Niggun 5 in Sefer HaNiggunim (the additional version - Niggun 211).
== Lyrics ==


In Russia, the Chassidim would also sing this melody with words expressing the longing and yearning to see the Rebbe:<blockquote>Az der Oibershter vet gebn, gezunt un lebn, veln mir zich zehn mit unzer Rebin. Ai Rebbeinu, ai Rebbeinu, Rebbe, Rebbe, Rebbe... veln, veln, mir zich zehn, veln, veln, mir zich zehn, oy, Rebbeinu!</blockquote>

In [[Sefer HaNiggunim]] (Part II), a more precise additional version appears, with several extra passages. This is the version in which the Chassid R' [[Elchanan Dov Marozov]] would sing the nigun, and it continues to be sung at the Rebbe's farbrengens today.
