[VERSE 1]
Geven a nign vi a sod,
Vos Dovid hot geshpilt far Got.
Nor dir voltâs nisht geven aza yeshue.
Me zingt azoy: a fa, a sol,
A misheberekh heybt a kol,
Der duler meylekh vebt a haleluye...
[VERSE 2]
Dayn emune iz gevorn shvakh,
Basheva bodt zikh afn dakh,
Ir kheyn un di levone dayn refue
Zi nemt dayn guf, zi nemt dayn kop,
Zi shnaydt fun dayne hor a tsop
Un tsit fun moyl arop a haleluye...
[VERSE 3]
O tayere, ikh ken dayn stil,
Ikh bin geshlofn af dayn dil,
Khâhob keynmol nisht gelebt mit aza tsnue
Ikh ze dayn shlos,
ikh ze dayn fon,
A harts iz nisht keyn meylekhs tron,
Sâiz a kalte un a kalye haleluye...
[VERSE 4]
Oy vi amol, to zog mir oys
Vos tut zikh dortn in dayn shoys?
To vos zhe darfst zikh shemen vi a bsule?
Nor gedenk vi khâhob in dir gerut,
Vi di shkhine glut in undzer blut,
Un yeder otem tut a haleluye...
[VERSE 5]
Zol zayn mayn got iz gor nishto
Un libe zol zayn kol-mumro,
A puster troym tsebrokhn un mekhule,
Nisht keyn geveyn in mitn nakht,
Nisht keyn bal-tshuve oyfgevakht,
Nor an elnte kol-koyre haleluye...
[VERSE 6]
An apikoyres rufstu mikh,
Mit shem-havaye lester ikh,
Iz meyle, ikh dervart nisht keyn geule.
Nor sâbrent zikh heys in yedn os
Fun alef beys gor bizn sof
Di heylike un kalye haleluye...
[CHORUS]
Haleluye
Haleluye
Haleluye, halelu-u-u-uye
[VERSE 7]
Un dos iz alts, sâiz nisht keyn sakh.
Ikh makh dervayle vos ikh makh.
Ikh kum do vi a mentsh,
nisht keyn shiluye.
Khotsh alts farloyrn say vi say
Vel ikh farloybn âAdoynayâ
Un shrayen vi lâkhayem âhaleluye.â
[CHORUS]
Haleluye
Haleluye
Haleluye, halelu-u-u-uye
