Yiddish Lyrics

Eili Eili, lamo azovtanu
Eili, Eili, lamo azovtonu.
Mit feir un flamm hot men uns gebrennt
Iberal all hot men uns gemacht zu shand zu spot
Obzutreten fun us hot noch keiner net gewagt
Fun user heileger Toire
Fun unser gebot.
Eili, Eili, lamo azovtanu
Oy Eili, Eili, lamo azaovtanu
Lama azovtanu, Eili, Eili.
Tog un nacht nor ich tracht un ich bet,
Ich heet mit moire unsre Toire, un ich bet,
Rette uns! Rette uns a mol, for unsere Oveos, ovos-ovoseinu
Hor zu mein gebet un mein gewein,
Veil helfen kenst du nor Gott allein
Veil Shma Isroel,
Adoshem elokeinu
Adoshem Echad

Translation

My God, my God, why have you forsaken us?
My God, my God, why have you forsaken us?
With fire and flame they have burned us,
Above all, they have put us to shame and to disgrace.
Great though was our distress, none departed from our faith,
From our holy Tora, from our prayer.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken us?
Oh m God, my God, why have you forsaken us?
My God, my God.
Day and night, I only hope and pray.
With fear, I follow our Tora and I pray
Save us!
Save once more your children,for the sake of our fathers.
Listen to my prayer and my lament
For you alone, God are the only one who can help.
For Hear oh Israel
The Lord is our God,
The Lord is one.
