Dayenu

It would have been enough

Dayenu

When the morning comes upIm haboker ya'ale
And we will be redeemedVeotanu yegalé
If the heart will be filled with light againIm halev beor shuv ytmale
It would have been enoughDayenu

If the sun will still warmIm bashemesh hachama
And fields will dry upOd yavshilu sdot kama
If we will break from hunger and thirstIm nishbor ra'av vegam tzama
It would have been enough.Dayenu.

And if we are left with a little desire - it would have been enoughVeim notra meat chiba - dayenu
And if there is a reason to be happy - it would have been enoughVeim lishmoach yesh siba - dayenu
And if we will be happy in the next generation - it would have been enoughVeim ismach hador haba - dayenu
And we won't ask for more.Veyoter anu lo nevakesh.

It would have been enough...Dayenu...

If we say a good wordIm nomar mila tová
That will prevail over the enemyShetigbar al haeivá
If we will give and not just a little restIm nedá velu meát shalva
It would have been enough.Dayenu.

If we find more loveIm nimtzá od ahavá
If we return and restIm nashuv venishavá
If we feel that hope has not been lostIm narguish shelo avda tikva-
It would have been enoughDayenu

And if we are left with a little desire - it would have been enoughVeim notra meat chiba - dayenu
And if there is a reason to be happy - it would have been enoughVeim lishmoach yesh siba - dayenu
And if we will be happy in the next generation - it would have been enoughVeim ismach hador haba - dayenu
And we won't ask for more.Veyoter anu lo nevakesh.

It would have been enough...Dayenu...

If we rise and not be afraidIm nakum velo nifchad
To clap hands once moreLehashit od pa'am yad
If we touch and not just one dreamIm nagshim velu chalom echad
It would have been enough,Dayenu,

If we release the hostageIm niftor et hachida
The only hostageHa'achat hayechida
If we see that there is no taleIm niré sheéin za agada
It would have been enough,Dayenu,

And if we are left with a little desire - it would have been enoughVeim notra meat chiba - dayenu
And if there is a reason to be happy - it would have been enoughVeim lishmoach yesh siba - dayenu
And if we will be happy in the next generation - it would have been enoughVeim ismach hador haba - dayenu
And we won't ask for more.Veyoter anu lo nevakesh.

It would have been enough...Dayenu...
