Original lyrics
O, prekhtike, mit himlen breyt, Mit zangen vi burshtin; Mit shtoltse purpur-berg tsezeyt Af felder frukhper-grin; Amerike, Amerike, Gots khesed kroynt dayn shtam, Shpreyt guts un kraft fun brudershaft Fun yam biz heln yam! O, prekhtike, vu pilgrim hot Bagaystert umgeshpant, Far frayhayt-glik gekemft zaynt trot In vistenish fun landt! Amerike, Amerike, Vash op, Got, yeydn flek, Neshome-dayn zol hersher zayn, Un frayhayt-rekht -- dayn veg! O, Prekhtike, s'klingt maysedik Far undz dayn frayhayt-shlakht! Di bravkayt dint dem mentshns glik, Far mentsh zikh umgebrakht! Amerike, Amerike, O, Got, dayn goldt makh reyn! Tsum glik-derfolg zol herlekh folk Durkh mentshlekhkayt dergeyn O, prekhtike, vu kemfer zet Zayn tsukunft-troym tsehelt, Vi s'blanken tsikhtik dayne shtet Fun troyer nit farshtelt. Amerike, Amerike, Gots khesed kroynt dayn shtam, Shpreyt guts un kraft fun brudershaft Fun yam biz heln yam!
Translated lyrics
O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea. O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassion'd stress, A thorough-fare for freedom beat, Across the wilderness. America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw, Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law. O beautiful for heroes prov'd, In liberating strife, Who more than self their country lov'd, And mercy more than life. America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream, That sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears, America! America! God shed His grace on thee, Andd crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea.
