Mee YimaleilSing along…

Who can retell the things that befell us,Who can count them?In every age, a hero or sageCame to our aid.Hark!In days of yore in Israel’s ancient landBrave Maccabeus led the faithful bandBut now all Israel must as one ariseRedeem itself through deed and sacrifice.

ישראל גבורות ימלל מיימנה מי אותן

הגיבור יקום דור בכל הןהעם גואלשמע

הזה בזמן ההם בימיםופודה מושיע מכבי

ישראל עם כל ובימינוויגאל, יקום יתאחד
