LYRICS
LAYEHUDIM:
ליהודים היתה אורה ושמחה וששון ויקר
כן תהיה לנו אורה ושמחה וששון ויקר
Layehudim haysa orah, vesimcha vesasson vikar
Kein tihiyeh lanu, vesimcha vesasson vikar
For the Jews there was light, happiness, joy, and honor
So may it be for us, light and happiness, joy and honor
IM AL HAMELECH TOV:
אם על המלך טוב תנתן לי נפשי בשאלתי
אם מצאתי חן בעיניך המלך
תנתן לי נפשי בשאלתי ועמי בבקשתי
Im al haMelech tov, tinasen li nafshi bishe'eilasi
Im matzasi chein be’einecha hamelech
Tinasen li nafshi bishe’eilasi ve’ami bevakashasi
If it pleases the King, let my soul be given in my question
If I have found favor in the eyes of the king
Let my soul be given in my question and my nation in my request
AL HANISSIM:
ועל המלחמות שעשִית לאבותינו
...בימים ההם בזמן
V'al hamilchamot she'asita l'avoteinu
Bayamim haheim bazman...
And for the victories that you wrought for our ancestors
In those days...
AM YISRAEL CHAI:
עם ישראל חי אם לא נשכח תמיד להיות מאוחדים
עם ישראל חי בעליות בירידות גם בשעות הכי קשות
הקדוש ברוך הוא שומר עלינו אז מי יכול עלינו כי אין לנו עוד מדינה
תעשה שלום בינינו שמור על ילדינו כי לא אבדה האמונה
Am Yisrael chai, im lo nishkach tamid lihiyot me’uchadim
Am Yisrael chai, ba’aliyot bayeridot gam basha’ot hachi kashot
HaKadosh Baruch Hu shomer aleinu az mi yachol aleinu ki ein lanu od medinah
Ta’aseh shalom beineinu shmor al yeladeinu ki lo avdah ha’emunah
The nation of Israel lives, if we don’t forget always to be united
The nation of Israel lives, in the ups, the downs, and in the hardest hours
Hashem watches over us, so who can overcome us, because we have no other land
Make peace between us, watch over our children, because we have not lost hope
