Translated lyrics
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? In fire and flames we have been burnt Everywhere they shamed and mocked us But no one could turn us away >From you my God And from your Holly Torah >From your commandments My god.. Day and night, I only think Of you, my God. I keep with awe Your Torah and your commandments. Save me, oh save me from danger Like once you saved our fathers from an angry czar Only you can help Listen, Israel, God our Lord Is one.
