(every line but the last one is sung two times:)

Zingt-zhe ale, yidelekh,
Dem nign, dem nayem:
Leshuno-habo bi-Yerusholayim!

Oyf di hoykhe berge, karmel har ha-zeysim
Shpatsirn kleyne kinderlekh, yisroyl am kedoyshim.

Zingt-zhe ale, yidelekh,
Dem nign, dem nayem:
Leshuno-habo bi-Yerusholayim!

Dray mol in yur veln mit oyle-regl zayn!
Nesokhim veln mir gisn fin dem bestn vayn!

Zingt-zhe ale, yidelekh,
Dem nign, dem nayem:
Leshuno-habo bi-Yerusholayim!

Demlt vet G’t zugn: Azoy iz mir gefeln!
Dem beys ha-mikdesh zolt ir boyen, dem mizbeyekh zolt ir shteln!

Leshuno-habo bi-Yerusholayim!
