English Lyrics

Got bentsh amerike, land vos ikh lib
Shtey-zhe bay ir, madrikh zay ir
Iberal laykht a shtral undz tsulib
Fun di berg biz
Tsu di preryes
Biz di yamen vays mit shoym
Got bentsh Amerike, mayn zise heym

Translation

God bless america, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
to the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home

This song appears on Mandy Patinkin's CD Mamaloshen. The first song on the clip here is Take me Out to the Ball Game that goes into God Bless America.
