Lyrics to the song, based on a Ukrainian Hebrew "Niggun," or meditative chant, adapted by Moshe Nathanson and Abraham Zevi Idelsohn:
Transliteration Hebrew text English translation
Hava nagila הבה נגילה Let's rejoice
Hava nagila הבה נגילה Let's rejoice
Hava nagila vi nis'mecha הבה נגילה ונשמחה Let's rejoice and be happy
(repeat stanza once)
Hava neranenah הבה נרננה Let's sing
Hava neranenah הבה נרננה Let's sing
Hava neranenah vi nis'mecha הבה נרננה ונשמחה Let's sing and be happy
(repeat stanza once)
Uru, uru achim! !עורו, עורו אחים Awake, awake, brothers!
Uru achim b'lev sameach עורו אחים בלב שמח Awake brothers with a happy heart
(repeat line four times)
Uru achim, uru achim! !עורו אחים, עורו אחים Awake, brothers, awake, brothers!
B'lev sameach בלב שמח With a happy heart
