Mi Yemalel
Hear the music!
Mi yemalel g'vurot Yisra-el,
Otan mi yimneh?
Hen b'khol dor yakum
hagibor,
Go-el ha-am. (repeat)

Who can retell the things
that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid. (repeat)

Sh'ma! Bayamim hahem
bazman hazeh,
Makabi moshiyah ufodeh -
Uv'yamenu kol am Yisra-el,
Yit'ahed, yakum veyiga-el.

Hark! In days of yore in
Israel's ancient land,
Brave Maccabeus lad the
faithful band.
But now all Israel must
as on arise,
Redeem itself through
deed and sacrifice.

Go-el ha-am. (repeat)

Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid. (repeat)
