Original lyrics
Mi yemalel gvurot Yisra'el, 'otan mi yimneh? Hen bechol dor yaqum hagibor, go'el ha'am. Shma'! Bayamim hahem bazman hazeh, Makabi moshia' ufodeh, uvyameinu kol 'am Yisra'el, yit'akhed, yaqum veyiga'el.
Translated lyrics
Who can retell, the things that befell us, Who can count them? In every age a hero or sage, Came to our aid. Hark! In days of yore in Israel's ancient land, Brave Maccabeus led the faithful band. But now all Israel must as one arise, Redeem itself through deed and sacrifice. Who can retell, the things that befell us, Who can count them? In every age a hero or sage, Came to our aid.
