avanim bochot kol layla
Stones weep every night
udmaot zolgot lemala
And tears flow upward
oy na lanu, oy na lanu.
Woe unto us, woe unto us
shekina golta meitanu
The Divine Presence has gone into exile from us
venodedet bocha mechutaenu
And wanders weeping because of our sins
oy na lanu ,oy na lanu .
Woe unto us, woe unto us

Upon Mount Zion that is desolate
vehakol po cherev
And everything here is ruined
halev bifnim koev
The heart aches within
oy na lanu .
Woe unto us
ata hashem terachem halev kol kach boer mimaaseynu
You, O Lord, have mercy, the heart burns so intensely from what we have done
oy na lanu ...
Woe unto us...
