WOW! I've never known the background to this song.
The story in very short: Once, while sleeping, R' Avrohom ibn Ezra was visited by an angel who handed him a letter. It was from Shabbos, and it said...
אני שבת עטרת דת יקרים, רביעית בעשרת הדברים
ובין השם ובין בניו אני אות, ברית עולם לכל דורים ודורים
(My possibly inaccurate translation: Hey! I'm Shabbos, the treasured crown of a cherished people, fourth of the Ten Commandments,
And between Hashem and His children, I am a sign, an everlasting covenant, for every generation...)
And since I haven't finished reading or processing, this is where it may be read and processed. Good Shabbos!
UPDATE: Ooops! Per the comments, I uploaded the Ani Maamin off that recording instead of the Ani shabbos.

only problem is you posted a different "ani" song (albeit a nice one)from the same CD.
hmmm, I was looking forward to the other one :(
Fixed. Sry and thanks for pointing out!
