Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli ...
Eli, Eli, lomo asavtoni,
Eli, Eli lomo asavtoni,
In Feier un flam hot men uns gebrent,
Iberal hot men uns gemacht tzu shand un shpot.
Doch obzuwenden hot uns keiner nit gekent,
Fin dir mein Gott, mit dein heiliger Toire un mit den gebot.
Eli, Eli, lomo asavtoni,
Eli, Eli, lomo asavtoni,
Tog un nacht nor ich tracht fin mein Gott,
Ich hiet mit moire, ob dein Toire, dein gebot.
Oh, rethe mich, rethe mich fin gefar
Wie a muhl die u ves fon bei sen gzar.
Her mein gebeit, mein gevein,
Helfen kenst du nor du a lein.
Schma Yisroel, adoinoi elokenu, adoinoi echud.

Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli...
Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?
Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?
In fire and flame, they have burned us.
Everywhere, they have put us to shame and scorn.
But no one has been able to turn us away from you.
Find me, my God, with your holy Torah and your commandments.
Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?
Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?
Day and night, I only think of you, my God.
I have wept with bitterness over your Torah, your commandments.
Oh, save me, save me from danger,
Like a moth that flies into the fire.
Hear my prayer, my weeping,
You alone can save me.
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
