Lyrics in English
Had He led us out from Egypt,
Only led us out from Egypt,
Never punished our tormentors
Dai yenu.

Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough dai yenu
Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough!
Had He punished our tormentors
Only punished our tormentors
Never given us our homeland
Dai yenu.
Chorus:
Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough dai yenu
Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough!
Had He given us our homeland
Only given us our homeland
Never granted us the Sabbath
Dai yenu.
Chorus:
Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough dai yenu

Never given us the Torah

Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough dai yenu
Dai, dayenu, dai dayenu,
Dai dayenu, it would have been enough!
