אַדִּיר בִּמְלוּכָה, בָּחוּר כַּהֲלָכָה / גְּדוּדָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ
לְךָ וּלְךָ, לְךָ כִּי לְךָ, לְךָ אַף לְךָ / לְךָ יְיָ הַמַּמְלָכָה
…דָּגוּל בִּמְלוּכָה, הָדוּר כַּהֲלָכָה / וָתִיקָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…זַכַּאי בִּמְלוּכָה, חָסִין כַּהֲלָכָה / טַפְסְרָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…יָחִיד בִּמְלוּכָה, כַּבִּיר כַּהֲלָכָה / לִמּוּדָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…מוֹשֵׁל בִּמְלוּכָה, נוֹרָא כַּהֲלָכָה / סְבִיבָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…עָנָיו בִּמְלוּכָה, פּוֹדֶה כַּהֲלָכָה / צַדִּיקָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…קָדוֹשׁ בִּמְלוּכָה, רַחוּם כַּהֲלָכָה / שִׁנְאַנָּיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ
…תַּקִּיף בִּמְלוּכָה, תּוֹמֵךְ כַּהֲלָכָה / תְּמִימָיו יֹאמְרוּ לוֹ / לְךָ וּלְךָ

Dayenu | דַּיֵּנוּ

Galeet Dardashti

Traditional Haggadah · Text: c. 9th Century CE · New Setting by Galeet Dardashti. Recorded at Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle, NY

Each couplet names another gift from God. After each verse, sing the refrain: Dayeinu!

אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָנוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם / וְלֹא קָרַע לָנוּ אֶת הַיָּם — דַּיֵּנוּ
אִלּוּ קָרַע לָנוּ אֶת הַיָּם / וְלֹא הֶעֱבִירָנוּ בְּתוֹכוֹ — דַּיֵּנוּ
אִלּוּ הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת הַמָּן / וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת — דַּיֵּנוּ
אִלּוּ קֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינַי / וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה — דַּיֵּנוּ
אִלּוּ נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה / וְלֹא הִכְנִיסָנוּ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל — דַּיֵּנוּ
אִלּוּ הִכְנִיסָנוּ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל / וְלֹא בָנָה לָנוּ בֵּית הַבְּחִירָה — דַּיֵּנוּ

Ilu hotzianu mimitzraim / velo kara lanu et hayam — Dayeinu!
Ilu kara lanu et hayam / velo he’eviranu b’tocho — Dayeinu!
Ilu he’echilanu et haman / velo natan lanu et hashabat — Dayeinu!
Ilu kervanu lifnei har Sinai / velo natan lanu et hatorah — Dayeinu!
Ilu natan lanu et hatorah / velo hichnisanu l’Yisrael — Dayeinu!
Ilu hichnisanu l’Yisrael / velo vana lanu beit habchira — Dayeinu!
