Mi Y'Malel

Mi y'malel g'vurot Yisrael (Who can retell the things that befell us?) (מִי יְמַלֵּל)

HEBREW -
Mi y’malel g’vurot Yisrael Otan mi yimneh?
Henb’chol dor yakum hagibor, Goel Haam.

Sh’ma! Bayamin hahem baz’ man hazeh.
Makabi moshia u fodeh,
U v’ya menu kol am Yisrael,
Yitached, yakum v’yigael.

Mi y’malel g’vurot Yisrael Otan mi yimneh?
Henb’chol dor yakum hagibor, Goel Haam.

Who can retell the things that befell us?
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage came to our aid.

Ah! At this time of year in days of yore
Maccabees the Temple did restore,
and today our people, as we dreamed,
will arise, unite, and be redeemed.

Who can retell the things that befell us?
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage came to our aid.
