Aleinu le'shabeiach la'adon hakol, lateit gedulah leyotzeir bereshit, she'lo asanu ke'goyei ha'aratzot, ve'lo samanu ke'mishpechot ha'adamah, she'lo sam chelkeinu kahem, ve'goraleinu ke'chol hamonam. Va'anachnu korim, u'mishtachavim, u'modim, lifnei melech, malchei ham'lachim, hakadosh baruch Hu. She'hu noteh shamayim, ve'yoseid aretz, u'moshav yikaro bashamayim mi-ma'al, u'sh'chinat u-zo be'gavhei me'romim. Hu Eloheinu, ein od. Emet malkeinu, efes zulato. Kakatuv be'torato, ve'yadata hayom, ve'hashevota Eil le'vavecha. Ki Adonai, Hu ha-Elohim, bashamayim mi-ma'al, ve'al ha'aretz mi-tachat. Ein od. Kakatuv be'toratecha: "Adonai yimloch le'olam va'ed." Ve'ne'emar: "Ve'haya Adonai le'melech al kol ha'aretz, bayom hahu yihiyeh Adonai echad, u'shemo echad."
Translated lyrics
It is our duty to praise the Master of all, to acclaim the greatness of the One who forms all creation. For God did not make us like the nations of other lands, and did not make us the same as other families of the Earth. God did not place us in the same situations as others, and our destiny is not the same as anyone else's. And we bend our knees, and bow down, and give thanks, before the Ruler, the Ruler of Rulers, the Holy One, Blessed is God. The One who spread out the heavens, and made the foundations of the Earth, and whose precious dwelling is in the heavens above, and whose powerful Presence is in the highest heights. Adonai is our God, there is none else. Our God is truth, and nothing else compares. As it is written in Your Torah: "And you shall know today, and take to heart, that Adonai is the only God, in the heavens above and on Earth below. There is no other." Therefore we put our hope in You, Adonai our God, to soon see the glory of Your strength, to remove all idols from the Earth, and to completely cut off all false gods; to repair the world, You holy empire. And for all living flesh to call Your name, and for all the wicked of the Earth to turn to You. May all the world's inhabitants recognize and know that to You every knee must bend and every tongue must swear loyalty. Before You, Adonai, our God, may all bow down, and give honor to Your precious name, and may all take upon themselves the yoke of Your rule. And may You reign over them soon and forever and always. Because all rule is Yours alone, and You will rule in honor forever and ever. As it is written in Your Torah: "Adonai will reign forever and ever." And it is said: "Adonai will be Ruler over the whole Earth, and on that day, God will be One, and God's name will be One."
